Svaté Pole: Culture, Nature and Special Experiences

A prominent landmark of Svaté Pole is the almost 5-metre-high wayside shrine known as Boží muka. It stands in the upper part of Svaté Pole, near the southern edge of the village, on a slightly elevated, well-maintained grassy strip with three mature chestnut trees, in front of House No. 39 at the crossroads leading to Obořiště and Ouběnice. Its elevated position, the well-maintained grassy strip and the chestnut trees make the shrine appear as a distinct feature on the edge of the village.

History in the Church, Parish House and Residential House

The Church of St Elizabeth of Thuringia in Svaté Pole is a protected immovable cultural monument. This historic village landscape also includes Residential House No. 41, with the foundations of a former fortress, and the parish house, with the cellars of the former Baroque parish house.

Residential House No. 41 in Svaté Pole stands on the foundations of a former fortress. Original stone barrel-vaulted cellars and vaulted ceilings in the ground-floor rooms have been preserved. The surviving vaults define the building's historic fabric. Among the village's buildings, this is where the residential function is combined with the former fortress site.

The parish house in Svaté Pole is a Neoclassical single-storey building with a rectangular floor plan and a hipped roof. The interiors have largely been preserved; the garden contains the cellars of the former Baroque parish house. The Neoclassical building and the cellars of the former Baroque parish house thus bring together two historic construction phases in one place.

Activities with a Clear Route and Game Concept

Adventure Golf Club Budínek offers an 18-hole adventure golf course with various natural obstacles. The 18 holes form a set round of play, while the natural obstacles shape the course of the individual holes. The club also regularly hosts public tournaments.

A red-marked hiking trail bypasses the main village of Svaté Pole and runs only through the Budínek district. This route is important for orientation: the trail does not pass through the main village, but exclusively through Budínek. This clear spatial separation is essential when planning a hike.

Natural Areas and Regional Cuisine

The Pařezitý area comprises a preserved complex of pond-shore vegetation and adjacent wetland habitats. It serves as a breeding ground for numerous protected and endangered bird species and also supports a diverse amphibian and invertebrate fauna. For nature observation, the juxtaposition of shore vegetation and wetland habitats is particularly interesting. In addition to the breeding ground for numerous protected and endangered bird species, amphibians and invertebrates also shape the area's wildlife. For day planning, the natural area can be treated as a separate focus alongside Svaté Pole's historic buildings.

The Statek Svaté Pole restaurant serves Czech and international cuisine, à la minute dishes and specialities. The offerings also include Bernard beer, house-roasted coffee, bowling and a wine cellar. Czech cuisine is offered alongside international dishes, while roasted coffee, Bernard beer, bowling and the wine cellar expand the choice with drinks and leisure activities. This allows you to choose between different focuses, including food, drinks and bowling.
