Radkovice U Příchovic

Radkovice U Příchovic combines traces of cultural history with paths through a varied landscape. This makes it a destination where you can plan a stay centered around castle ruins, historic village scenery, woodland areas, and marked trails. The character of the place is particularly evident at the Skála Castle Ruins and in Radkovice’s historic center.

Skála Castle Ruins between Radkovice and Zálesí

The Skála Castle Ruins lie less than 2 kilometers south of Radkovice and can be reached via the red hiking trail. Their location makes them a clearly identifiable destination for a walking excursion. The castle ruins have been protected as a cultural monument since 1963. On a rocky ridge between Radkovice and Zálesí, the site comprises two separate castle cores: an upper and a lower one. This structural division distinguishes Skála from a single, simply laid-out castle ruin and gives the visit a particularly vivid historical context.

Jindřín and historical traces in the village

You will encounter another layer of contemporary history at Jindřín. There you will find a fortified settlement and hillfort dating from prehistoric times to the early Middle Ages. The fortification consists of a double low rampart that curves around to join a natural rock barrier on the summit. Discovering this site therefore involves not only the settlement itself, but also the connection between the human fortification and the existing rock formation. The term hillfort refers to a fortified settlement; here, the double rampart and rock barrier form part of the site on the summit.

Historical remains have also been preserved on the northern edge of Radkovice. At house number c. e. 33, formerly c. p. 18, there are remains of the fortress. In its historic center, Radkovice also preserves a narrow, street-like village green with a chapel. The fortress remains are located on the northern edge of the village, while the village green with the chapel is in the historic center.

Woodland areas, hiking trails, and cycling trails

Valuable woodland areas lie in the eastern part of the Radkovice municipality. For recreation and crossing the landscape, the municipality offers forest paths, marked hiking trails, and existing marked cycling trails. This allows you to shape the focus of your stay in different ways: the trails lead either to active exploration on foot or by bicycle, while the historic destinations add a cultural dimension. Red- and blue-marked hiking trails also pass through Radkovice, so two differently marked trail connections meet within the village itself.
