Střelské Hoštice: Culture, St. Martin's Church and Nature Trail

For planning your trip to Střelské Hoštice, cultural history, a themed nature trail and specific sporting opportunities offer different points of interest. The railway station on a named rail connection provides another useful reference. Each attraction has its own planning details: the museum has a specified access period, while the nature trail’s approximate length, stations and local conditions are relevant to your plans.

Rail connection for your journey

Střelské Hoštice railway station is on line 191, on the Plzeň–Strakonice–České Budějovice connection, and is part of an integrated transport system. When planning your journey, you can use both a line number and a named connection as search terms in the timetable. Train connections and timetables may change, so check the latest information for your travel date before setting off. This will help you plan around the specific connection and the relevant timetable.

Museum of the Otava River and River Rafting

The Museum of the Otava River and River Rafting, which includes a gallery, is located on the ground floor of the south wing of the château in Střelské Hoštice. Its theme brings together the Otava River and river rafting, while the gallery offers another cultural point of interest alongside the museum. The museum is open from 3 June to 30 September, subject to the current opening hours. Check these before your visit so you can plan to go during the stated period. Both the museum’s subject matter and its limited access period are relevant to planning your day.

St. Martin's Church: architecture and history

St. Martin's Church stands on the southern edge of Střelské Hoštice. It is a single-nave church oriented east, with the tower on the west façade. Two dates should be distinguished in its history: the former Gothic church burned down in 1819, and St. Martin's Church was built in the Classicist style in 1822. These dates refer to the fire that destroyed the predecessor and the construction of St. Martin's Church, not to two building phases of the same structure. The church’s valuable interior includes the vaults, roof structure, gallery and pillars. The description thus covers both its exterior form and orientation and specific features of its interior.

Kněží hora and the nature trail

Near Střelské Hoštice is Kněží hora, a nature reserve with the remains of a Slavic hillfort, designated an archaeological monument. The Kněží hora nature trail is approximately 4 km long and runs in the direction of Katovice–Kněží hora (Střelské Hoštice). It is intended for pedestrians and cyclists and has five stations with information boards. The length and number of stations provide two different points of reference for planning: the approximate extent of the route and the information stations along the nature trail. Check the signs and trail conditions on site.

Sports facilities at the multi-purpose sports ground

The multi-purpose sports ground has a synthetic surface and offers tennis, volleyball, nohejbal and basketball. The surface and the specific sports listed help you assess the facility in terms of two features: its ground covering and sporting use. If any of these activities are relevant to your stay, check the booking arrangements before using the facility; these may change.
