Discover Dobrohošť U Dačic

Dobrohošť U Dačic combines a long local history with a landscape of valleys, hills, and forests. If you are looking for a place to stay with visible traces of history and clearly described surroundings, you will find several different points of interest here: Dobrohošť was first mentioned in written sources in 1399, lies in a bend of the valley of a small stream, and forms part of a cycling route through several towns and villages.

History Between the Estate and the Dačice Domain

The history of the village extends beyond its first written mention. Dobrohošť was historically part of the Bílkov estate. From 1610 until the abolition of the manorial system in 1849, Dobrohošť shared the history of the Dačice domain.

The Chapel of Saint Anne

An important building in Dobrohošť is the Chapel of Saint Anne, built in 1767. It was originally dedicated to Saint Procopius. Since 1958, the chapel has been protected as a cultural monument. The brick chapel has a rectangular floor plan, a semicircular, non-stepped ending, and a square turret on the west side. The Chapel of Saint Procopius is freely accessible.

The chapel therefore provides a tangible historical landmark within the village. For families and other travelers who enjoy planning smaller cultural discoveries along the way, its appeal lies precisely in the combination of architectural history, the history of its dedication, and its protected monument status, which it retains to this day. The Chapel of Saint Anne represents not only a single year of construction, but also the change in its original dedication.

Valleys, Hills, and Forests

Dobrohošť lies in a bend of the valley of a small stream that is a tributary of the Vápovka. Above the settlement are the Dobrohošťský les forest and the hill of the same name. Another landscape feature is the Stařeček hill: it reaches 542 m and offers panoramic views over the broad valley.

East of Dobrohošť, the remains of Krumvald Castle are located on a hill. The historical context therefore extends beyond the village center and complements the chapel with another specific destination in the surrounding area. Those who wish to combine different forms of regional history during their trip can view a protected building in the village and castle ruins on a hill in the same outing.

Dobrohošť as a Stage on a Cycling Route

Cyclists can also include Dobrohošť in a longer route. The 38 km cycling route No. 5, “Around the Mills on the Moravian Dyje to the Royal Town of Jemnice,” runs from Dačice via Staré Hobzí, Jemnice, Chotěbudice, Budíškovice, Dobrohošť, and Bílkov, returning to Dačice. Dobrohošť is therefore situated on a circular route connecting several towns and villages with the royal town of Jemnice. If you would like to experience culture and landscape together along one route, the route length provides a concrete framework for planning a longer cycling trip.

You can then discover other destinations in the same broader area: Horní Slatina, Hadravova Rosička, Bořetín U Strmilova, Horní Meziříčko, Řečice, Záblatí U Ponědraže, Hříšice, and Stribrec.
