Discover Volenice

When planning a trip to Volenice, you can take questions about church history, rural living conditions or the places along named cycling routes into account. There is also a bus stop on road II/172, with stopping areas for buses in both directions. These topics address different planning questions: history and service times, a museum covering an approximate historical period, routes with named places, and a landmark to help you orient yourself on arrival.

Church and services

The Deanery Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Volenice is mentioned as a parish church in 1384 in the “libri erectionum.” The year refers to this mention of it as a parish church. Services are held on Sundays at 10:00 a.m., as well as on the first, third and fifth Wednesdays of each month. The weekly Sunday service and the additional Wednesday services offer different opportunities to fit a service into your travel plans. Check the current times in advance before planning your stay around them.

Museum and living conditions

The selského statku Volenice Museum offers an authentic insight into the living conditions of the rural population in southwestern Bohemia around seventy years ago. Its regional focus and approximate timeframe define the subject; the emphasis is on the living conditions of a rural population. Compared with the church’s mention as a parish church in 1384, this is a different historical perspective: rural living conditions here, church history there. When weighing cultural topics for your trip, you can distinguish between these two different perspectives.

Compare cycling routes by the places they pass through

The “Za kladrubským drakem” cycling route starts and ends in Volenice and passes through Štěchovice, Kladruby and Kalenice. “Krajem rybníků” passes through Kalenice, Krejnice and Frymburk. “Přes dva brody” passes through Frymburk, Damětice, Krejnice, Tažovice and Štěchovice. The routes overlap: Kalenice is on the first two routes, Štěchovice on the first and third, and Frymburk and Krejnice on the second and third. These shared places can help you compare the routes based on the locations that matter to you. Only “Za kladrubským drakem” is specified as starting and ending in Volenice. When narrowing down your options, you can therefore consider both the places along each route and its connection to the starting and finishing point. Check the current route and trail conditions before setting out on a cycling trip.

Travel by bus

There is a bus stop in Volenice on road II/172, with stopping areas for buses in both directions. The road designation can help you recognize the bus stop’s location when planning; for a specific journey, check the current timetable and connections. If a service determines your travel day, compare its start time with your planned arrival. This way, you can take both the service time and the actual connection into account.
