Hostíčkov

Hostíčkov can be considered for trip planning through three specific topics: its long history of settlement, the memorial to the victims of the First World War, and a bus connection with a special request rule. The historical information concerns different periods and aspects; for getting there, however, the relevant timetable has limited validity. In addition, the administrative area of Chodová Planá offers a precisely defined connection to the landscape.

History and parish affiliation

The old Czech village of Hostíčkov was established sometime in the 11th or 12th century as a typical circular village. In 1273, Hostíčkov is mentioned as property of the Teplá Monastery; this year refers to ownership, not to the village’s establishment. In 1576, Hostíčkov was transferred from monastic ownership into the secular hands of the Šliks of Planá. Until serfdom was abolished in 1848, the village was agricultural in character and was under the rule of Planá. These key dates therefore concern different aspects of the village’s history: the settlement’s establishment, a change of ownership, and the period when the village, with its agricultural character, was under the rule of Planá. In circular villages, farmsteads are typically grouped around a central square; the term refers to this historic form of settlement.

The parish affiliation is a separate strand of the village’s history. Hostíčkov initially belonged to the parish of Ovesné Kladruby and later permanently to the parish of Boněnov. This ecclesiastical classification complements the information about ownership and rule with a different aspect, without denoting the same thing.

Memorial to the victims of the First World War

Another point of interest in the village is the memorial to the victims of the First World War in Hostíčkov. A municipal publication from 2011 reports that the memorial was dismantled, cleaned, and reassembled. To confirm its current condition, an on-site visit is recommended. For travellers interested in local remembrance, the memorial complements the older history of settlement with a distinct perspective focused on the victims of the First World War.

Bus connection to Hostíčkov

IDPK route 490758 serves the Chodová Planá,Hostíčkov stop on the Planá–Chodová Planá–Boněnov connection. The associated timetable is valid from 1 March to 12 December 2026. The stop is served only if requested by telephone or requested from the driver. When planning, both the route and the request requirement are important: the route provides a connection between Planá, Chodová Planá, and Boněnov, while the request rule applies to service at this stop. Check the timetable before travelling and take the request rule into account when planning your journey.

Landscape in the administrative area

The lowest point in the administrative area of Chodová Planá lies in the valley of the Kosí potok below Hostíčkov, at an elevation of 490 metres above sea level. This places a history centred on the village alongside a landscape feature in the municipality.
