Hlupín: Chapels, Memorial Stone and Cycling Route

Hlupín combines a village landscape shaped by cultural history with cycling opportunities and views of the surrounding area. Two named chapels, a heart-shaped memorial stone and several examples of folk architecture provide specific points of interest for exploring the village. At the same time, Cycling Route 1064 passes through Hlupín, while the landscape has relatively few forests and offers beautiful views to the west and southwest. This gives you a clear choice when planning your trip: would you mainly like to discover the architecture and places of remembrance, or focus more on cycling and the surrounding area?

Chapels and Architectural History

The Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk stands on Hlupín’s village green and is a significant urban-planning and architectural feature of the village. It was built at the beginning of the 19th century. It features vernacular Baroque elements both inside and out. The interior has a plank vault and ends in an apse. Its location within the village, the period in which it was built and its specific architectural features all come together in this building.

The Chapel of Saint Anne Samotřetí was built in 1832. It is located by the Hlupín municipal office on the road to Zadní Zborovice. Their different locations—the village green and the municipal office—offer two specific landmarks as you explore Hlupín’s architectural history. The chapels have distinct names and clearly defined locations in the village.

Memorial Stone and Folk Architecture

In the southern part of Hlupín, a heart-shaped memorial stone from the 18th century stands on a large boulder. Its shape and striking stone base give this place of remembrance a distinctive architectural profile. Folk architecture is also part of the village landscape: Hlupín has several interesting buildings of this kind. This broadens the focus beyond the named chapels to a wider group of local buildings. If you are interested in architectural history, you will find a variety of points of interest here—from religious architecture to the heart-shaped stone and folk buildings.

Cycling and Views

Cycling Route 1064 runs from Mečichov through Hlupín to Třebohostice. A smooth-surfaced road also runs through Hlupín and is used by cyclists and inline skaters. The route is described by the sequence of places it passes through; for the road, its surface and how it is used are important points of reference. Before setting out, check the current signage and surface conditions, as both can change.

The area around Hlupín has relatively few forests and offers beautiful views, particularly to the west and southwest. The views can vary with the seasons. The landscape offers a different focus from the chapels and buildings in the village. When planning your stay, you can decide whether to focus more on the cultural attractions or on cycling and the scenery.

Accommodation for Your Trip to Hlupín

An accommodation search page for Hlupín also lists places to stay outside the village, including one in Horažďovice. Individual listings and availability may change. Before booking, therefore, check the exact location of the property and its current availability.

When choosing, consider whether your trip will focus more on the chapels, the memorial stone and folk architecture, or whether you would like to make more room for cycling and the surrounding area. Hlupín’s buildings, Route 1064 and the views to the west and southwest offer different points of interest, without requiring the same kind of stay.
