Discover Slapy: Village Culture, Bodies of Water and Trails

Slapy combines village culture with a diverse water landscape and distinctive trails through Hussite Land. Anyone looking for a place with local traditions, small cultural monuments and specific starting points for cycling and hiking tours will find several different facets here to incorporate into their own travel planning.

Village Traditions and Cultural Monuments

The local folk tradition Slapský Bahňák is maintained in Slapy. At the centre of the village square stands a chapel built in 1911. Its location in the middle of the village square makes it a clearly recognisable part of the townscape, while the year of construction provides a specific historical reference.

Slapy’s cultural monuments also include a South Bohemian farmhouse from the 18th century. Together with the chapel and the Slapský Bahňák tradition, it forms a cultural focus that you can connect with various historical and folk themes while exploring the village.

Ponds and Bodies of Water along the Slapský Stream

A pond with riparian vegetation and trees along its right bank lies on the Slapský stream. The cadastral area of Slapy also provides specific indications of the importance of water: it contains four permanent bodies of water ranging in size from 0.15 to 0.9 hectares. One of these is located within the village of Slapy and also serves as a fire-water reservoir.

The different sizes and the function of one body of water as a fire-water reservoir give you a precise impression of the landscape without implying any particular leisure facilities. For planning your day, you can therefore consider the cultural centre of the village and the bodies of water as two separate focal points.

Slapy on Cycling and Hiking Routes

The cycling tour “From Tábor with Jan Žižka” passes by bicycle through Hussite Land from Tábor via Klokoty, Větrov, Slapy and Dražičky to Příběnice Castle. Slapy is thus part of a connection between Tábor and Příběnice Castle. The route is a specific starting point for research for anyone wishing to combine their stay with a longer cycling tour through several places.

A hiking event also leads to Slapy. The 23rd edition of “From Tábor All the Way to Us” is scheduled for Saturday, 3 October 2026, and ends in Slapy. The recommended route is given as the path from the Tábor bus station via Pintovka, Hnojná Lhotka and the quarry near Dražičky to Slapy.
