Jeznice between the cycling route and archaeological traces

Jeznice between the cycling route and the past

Jeznice offers you two special ways to experience the place: a direct connection for cyclists and several testimonies to a history reaching far back into the past. Cycle Route 1079 between Hluboká nad Vltavou and Týn nad Vltavou passes through Jeznice. At the same time, Jeznice-U široké aleje, the village chapel of Saint Wenceslas, and a barrow cemetery draw attention to the cultural traces of the place. When planning your trip, you can therefore choose between an active day on a designated route and discoveries relating to the history of the village, setting different priorities.

Archaeological traces at Jeznice-U široké aleje

Jeznice-U široké aleje is designated as a significant archaeological site and is a prehistoric burial site. The protected feature of Jeznice-U široké aleje is a barrow cemetery. For interested visitors, this combination makes the site an appealing destination for cultural and historical discovery: the focus is not on a single structure, but on a place where the early history of the landscape can be traced. The term barrow cemetery refers to a group of burial mounds and points to the distinctive form of this archaeological site.

Through Jeznice on Cycle Route 1079

Cycle Route 1079 passes through Jeznice and connects Hluboká nad Vltavou with Týn nad Vltavou. Its course consists predominantly of second- and third-class roads as well as designated local roads. This alternation between roads and local routes is part of the character of the route and helps you assess your planned cycling day realistically. If you are looking for accommodation in Jeznice, you can therefore decide in advance whether Route 1079 or the historic sites should be the focus of your stay.

Mountains and hills in the surrounding area

Several different elevations lie around Jeznice. Zdoba is a mountain in the vicinity of Jeznice. The nearby area also includes Kotořice [Hluboká nad Vltavou-Jeznice] and Hřeben [Hluboká nad Vltavou - Jeznice], both designated as hills. Janoch [Temelín-Litoradlice] is also a hill in the vicinity of Jeznice. Alongside cycling and local history, these elevations add a landscape focus. In this way, the landscape complements the cultural destinations with another perspective for your stay.

The village chapel of Saint Wenceslas

The village chapel of Saint Wenceslas stands in Jeznice. It was built by the local residents and features an unusual architectural style. The chapel thus complements the archaeological traces with a visible testimony to the local community and building culture. Jeznice also has a barrow cemetery 2,800 m southwest of the chapel, in the village above Rochačka. This precise information helps you distinguish the two cultural and historical points from one another in your mind.

A regional cultural site

In the wider regional surroundings of Jeznice lies Svatý Jan, a church. Together with the Chapel of Saint Wenceslas and the archaeological sites, this location offers a cultural perspective extending beyond Jeznice, without conflating the distinct focuses of the individual destinations.
