Getting your bearings in Polště
The highest point in Polště is Křížky, at 523 m above sea level. The municipality’s cadastral area also includes a holiday complex by Velký Hatín pond with 12 cottages. An allotment garden colony lies near the village pond, right in the village, and is also within the cadastral area. These places are in different locations: the complex by Velký Hatín is within the cadastral area, while the colony near the village pond is right in Polště.
Cultural traces and historic routes
Polště has a chapel with a bell tower. A memorial commemorates those who fell in the First World War; its reverse is dedicated to the legionnaires. These two structures have different significance: the chapel is a religious landmark, while the memorial preserves the memory of the war dead and legionnaires.
The historic Vitoraz Road also forms part of the village’s history. It ran through Polště and continued on embankments below the settlement towards Roseč, Mnich, and Tábor. Its historical reach extends beyond the village: while the chapel and memorial are specific commemorative landmarks in Polště, the road describes a former route to other named places.
