Discover Plenkovice

Plenkovice Between Water, Hills and Culture

Plenkovice lies in the valley of the Plenkovický potok between the Špičák and Ležák hills. The stream connects two local ponds, shaping a landscape in which water, mill history and village culture stand closely side by side. This creates a destination with several different points of interest: You can take in the local landscape, discover sacred architecture, plan a longer cycling route or combine your visit with a pre-booked mill appointment.

Ponds and Mill History

Velký Plenkovický rybník covers 20.5 hectares. The smaller local pond is located at Havlínův mlýn and adds another specific site to the water landscape shaped by the Plenkovický potok. Havlínův mlýn in Plenkovice can be visited by prior arrangement. This makes the experience different from a spontaneous visit: You should take the appointment into account in advance when planning your stay.

The historic mill history also has several distinct points of reference. The former mill No. 45 is located in Plenkovice below the dam of the 20.5-hectare Plenkovický rybník. In addition, a mill was built in Plenkovice between 1822 and 1824. These details preserve the site's chronological and historical dimension without conflating the individual mills into a single complex.

St. Lawrence and Local Tradition

The Church of St. Lawrence has an early Gothic core and was enlarged in the 17th century. Its historic architecture is an important sacred monument in Plenkovice. This means that, alongside its water landscape, the village also offers a clear cultural focus. Visitors who want to combine different themes during their stay will find here a contrast between experiencing the landscape and exploring architectural history, without having to leave the village.

The Plenkovické posvícení is also part of the local cultural character. The event includes a celebration classified as a folk tradition, dancing and a public family programme. For travel planning, the event's format is important: Alongside its traditional associations, it features a public programme with entertainment for everyone.

Cycling and Connections

The 55-kilometre Jevišovicko Cycling Route, following in the footsteps of Raduit de Souches, passes through Plenkovice. This route offers a different focus from the local ponds or the Church of St. Lawrence and makes the village part of a longer cycling experience. You can therefore choose between a stay focused on local history and the water landscape, and a travel plan in which the cycling route plays a larger role.

Plenkovice is served by the Integrated Transport System of the South Moravian Region (IDS JMK). When looking for accommodation in Plenkovice, the village's location in the valley and its documented transport connections are therefore factual points of reference. No further accommodation features, prices or availability should be inferred from this.
