Kladruby U Vlašimi: Bus, Routes and History

Kladruby U Vlašimi offers several clearly distinct points of interest for planning your trip: a direct bus connection to Prague, wheelchair routes at the Rehabilitační ústav, and historic buildings and markers. The chapel dedicated to Saint Wenceslas stands on the village green; a former Jan Hus church, by contrast, is associated with Kladrubská hůra. This makes it possible to consider transport, routes and local history as separate topics. Whether the bus, one of the listed routes, or the history of the chapel and hill is most important to you will determine which of the following details are especially relevant to your plans.

Bus connection to Prague

Since August 2, 2026, direct bus route 402 has connected the “Kladruby, rehab. ústav” stop with Prague several times a day, including weekends. The named stop is the specific local point of reference for this connection. If you plan to travel by bus, your plans will depend on the times of this route. Check the current timetable before travelling, as timetables can change. Weekend service also makes this connection a practical point to consider for trips outside weekdays.

Natural surroundings and routes

The Rehabilitační ústav Kladruby is located in the protected natural landscape of Podblanicko, on the edge of the Vlašim Basin near Kladruby. The wheelchair routes of the Klubu českých turistů run through the institute grounds and the surrounding area; they can also be used for walks with a stroller. The 4.6 km red route “Okolo Rehabilitačního ústavu” is also listed in Kladruby u Vlašimi. The location of the institute and the specific route thus provide different points of reference: one detail concerns the grounds and surrounding area, while the other gives a route name, color and length. If you plan to take the route, check the current surface conditions and signage before your visit.

Chapel and historic markers

The chapel dedicated to Saint Wenceslas stands on the village green in Kladruby. It was built in 1895 on the site of an older chapel. Right beside it are a stone bearing the dates 1405–2005 and a cross dating from 1887. The three dates relate to individual objects: 1895 marks the construction of the chapel, 1405–2005 appears on the stone, and 1887 refers to the cross. Thus, at one location, a building history involving an earlier structure is connected with two other historically dated markers.

The former church on Kladrubská hůra

Another historic point of reference is Kladrubská hůra, also known as Kostelík. At the foot of the hill once stood a wooden church dedicated to Jan Hus. It was dismantled in 1627; only the hill’s name remains. This history differs from that of the Chapel of Saint Wenceslas: the wooden church is a former building, while the chapel was built in 1895 on the site of an earlier structure. The two dates mark different events: the dismantling of the wooden church and the construction of the chapel.
