Vesce: Village Square, Soběslavská Blata and Cycle Route 1136

Vesce combines a well-preserved rural villagescape with the landscape of the Soběslavská Blata. The village square, adjoining farmsteads, wayside chapels and a route through the village give your stay different points of interest: you can admire regional architectural styles, plan a nature trail or explore the surrounding area by bike. When choosing your accommodation, it is especially worth considering whether you want to focus your trip on the character of the village or on experiences in the surrounding landscape.

Historic villagescape in Vesce

The historic development of the buildings around Vesce’s village square is considered the village’s valuable urban-planning core and a cultural asset. Along the north side of the main road stretches a continuous frontage of farmsteads, which is also considered valuable from an urban-planning perspective. Vesce preserves an intact urban structure and a typical rural setting with original buildings. A visit to the village can therefore be seen as an opportunity to view a cohesive villagescape in which the square, road and farmsteads together shape the character of the village.

Soběslavská Blata and protected landscape

Vesce is one of the settlements of the Soběslavská Blata. They lie on the left bank of the Lužnice between Veselí and Soběslav. The best-preserved part of the Borkovická Blata was declared a nature reserve in 1980. In the surrounding area, you will therefore encounter both a clearly defined landscape region and a protected area with special conservation status. Those who want to combine rural areas and nature experiences with cultural impressions during a trip through the Czech Republic will find various themes here within the same regional setting.

Educational trail and cycling

The Borkovická Blata educational trail is 5.5 km long and runs mostly along wooden boardwalks. Its fixed length and the high proportion of wooden boardwalks offer a specific way to experience the area within a manageable framework. For another way of getting around, the “Most Beautiful Folk Baroque – Soběslavská Blata” route follows Cycle Route 1136 through Vesce. The two options represent different ways of discovering the region: the educational trail focuses on the journey through the landscape, while the cycle route connects Vesce with the theme of folk Baroque.
