Discover Hříšice: Village Culture, Trails and Excursions

Hříšice is a destination for travellers who want to combine village culture, trails through forests and meadows, and specific excursion ideas. The village square, the hike to Bába and a 32 km cycling tour give the place different points of interest. When choosing accommodation for your stay, you can base your decision on the desired mix of culture, activity and family experiences.

Village Square and Sacred History

On the village square in Hříšice stands a chapel with a square nave and a recessed rectangular chancel ending in a semicircular apse. In front of the chapel on the village square in Hříšice stands a monument to those who fell in the First World War. Together, these details make the village square a concrete starting point for getting to know Hříšice not merely as an unnamed place on a map, but through its visible local features.

Jersice also offers its own cultural and historical connection: the chapel there was built in 1877 in the late Neoclassical style and dedicated to Saint Juliána.

Hike to Bába

On the “Nejen na Bábu” hike, you take a bus to Hříšice, walk across the village square and along a field path to the Vápovka stream, and then climb through the forest to the summit of Bába. The route therefore leads successively through the village, to a watercourse and into the forest. For your planning, the route offers a clearly recognisable sequence of landscape impressions, without requiring you to arrange the individual stops yourself.

A different perspective is offered by the 32 km cycling tour “Za kláštery a kostkou cukru”. It runs through Dačice, Hříšice and Červený Hrádek. The route thus connects several places and gives an active excursion a clear geographical framework. For your planning, this longer cycling tour stands alongside the hike to Bába, whose route is defined by the village square, field path, stream and forest. This gives you two different ways to include Hříšice and its surroundings in a trip: by bicycle through several places or on foot along a trail to the summit of Bába.

Meadows, Views and an Experience for Children

The surrounding area features extensive meadows and Hřebínky Hill; from there, there are wide views across a large part of the Javořická vrchovina. This landscape aspect complements the routes through the village, field, stream and forest with an open viewpoint.

Since 2012, the municipality of Hříšice has held the fairy-tale walk “Procházka pohádkou” for Children’s Day. At various stations, children meet fairy-tale characters and complete tasks, for which they subsequently receive a reward. This is a clearly described event with its own structure and a different focus from the hike to Bába or the cycling tour.
