Discover Únice

Únice combines a long history with a dispersed settlement along a road and wooded Březový vrch. If you choose the village for a stay, you can focus on three themes: early history, the settlement’s built form and the landscape. Hubenov, a district of Únice, is also part of its historical context.

Historical traces in Únice and Hubenov

The first historical mention of Únice dates to 22 January 1308. On that day, Bavor III of Strakonice donated the village to the Order of Saint John. The donation also included the adjacent meadows, fields and ponds. Hubenov, a district of Únice, was first mentioned in writing in 1345. The two dates refer to different events: 1308 marks the donation of Únice, while 1345 marks the first written mention of Hubenov. This comparison offers a chronological starting point for the history of the two places and helps you consider the historical details separately.

Village square, bell tower and wayside shrines

Únice is laid out as a dispersed settlement along a road. The northern part ends at an irregularly triangular village square. These details describe two aspects of the settlement’s form: its course along the road and the distinctive shape of the square in the north. A small bell tower with a pyramidal roof stands near the largest farmstead. Beside the tower is an iron cross; wayside shrines stand along the road at the edge of the village. The features can be distinguished by location: the tower and cross are near the largest farmstead, while the shrines are at the edge of the village. These architectural details add to the description of the settlement’s layout and village square.

Nature and views from Březový vrch

Březový vrch stands at 570.8 m above sea level and is considered a notable natural asset. The area is undeveloped and wooded, and is suitable for recreation. From the viewpoint, you can see across the gently rolling landscape in which Únice lies. The elevation gives you a sense of Březový vrch, while the viewpoint connects it to the surrounding landscape. These offer different reasons to choose the destination: you may be interested in the wooded recreational area or in the views of the landscape where Únice lies.

Getting there and events
