Slověnice: Chapel, Cycling Route and Chotýšanka Valley

Slověnice offers several distinct points of interest to help you plan a stay: the Chapel of St. Wenceslas, a cycling route along Road II/113, and the landscape around the Chotýšanka. If you are looking for a hotel in Slověnice, you can choose your focus based on whether you are interested in local history, cycling or paths through the landscape. The local features also differ in practical terms: the chapel is not accessible to people with reduced mobility, while some paths in the valley are difficult to pass.

Chapel and local history

The Chapel of St. Wenceslas stands near the centre of Slověnice on Road II/113, beside two mature lime trees. It dates from 1924. Slověnice was first mentioned in writing in 1544. The two dates refer to different historical milestones: 1544 marks the first written mention of the village, and 1924 the year the chapel was built. This distinguishes the history of the village from that of the building in chronological terms.

The chapel is not accessible to people with reduced mobility. Take this limitation into account when planning your visit and check accessibility again before travelling. A pilgrimage to St. Wenceslas, including a pilgrimage Mass, is associated with the chapel. If this occasion is important to your trip, find out in advance whether and when the pilgrimage takes place.

Avenue, valley and bridge

Above the village, Alej u Slověnic avenue has been renewed by planting cherry and plum trees. The Chotýšanka Valley is one of the scenic areas of Slověnice. South of the village, near a holiday settlement on the Chotýšanka, there is a footbridge. These are different points of reference for getting your bearings: the avenue above the village, the scenic valley and the bridge south of Slověnice.

Cycling and walking paths

A cycling route runs along Road II/113 through Slověnice. Cyclists can also use local roads and field tracks. This gives you both a named cycling route through the village and other local paths as reference points for your plans. Walking routes through the landscape largely follow historic paths. However, some paths in the Chotýšanka Valley are overgrown and difficult to pass. If you plan to walk along a route there, find out in advance whether it is passable. When planning, it is worth considering cycling and walking routes separately: roads and field tracks are available for cyclists, while overgrowth makes some footpaths in the valley difficult to pass.

Bus services in the village

There is a bus stop in Slověnice, and bus services are operated by ČSAD and the BENEBUS association. If you plan to arrive by bus, check the timetable for your travel day. This lets you include the village bus stop in your travel plans without assuming a particular service or journey time.
