Milčice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

History and Culture

Milčická náves has always been the center of village life and still preserves remarkable historic sites. The farmhouse of the scribe František Jan Vavák is the most significant site on Milčická náves. František Jan Vavák was the local village judge, chronicler, and an important folk writer. Milčice is also stop 8 on the regional project “Tajuplná místa Podlipanska”; the information panel introduces František Jan Vavák and a local legend. The village is located on the Cesta Česka pilgrimage route.

Things to Do

The Milčice Exhibition is a permanent exhibition about Milčice housed in the former “Síň tradic.” It is open to the public every year on May 8; visits at other times must be arranged in advance with the Milčice Municipal Office and the curator, Eva Vyhlídalová.

The 750-meter-long Milčice–Tatce cycle path runs from the municipal football field to Tatce railway station and has three rest areas with tables, benches, bicycle stands, and waste bins.

Nature

The protected “Památná hrušeň” – a European pear (Pyrus communis L.) – was planted around 1900 on the outskirts of Milčice along the road to Pečky. Javorová alej has benches, waste bins, and a bicycle stand. An information panel provides information about the financing of its renewal and the nearby Natura 2000 site.

Behind the large Milčice pond, two smaller, elongated ponds were created after 1985 in former peat extraction pits. Their flooding created refuges for rare animal and plant species.

The “Havlíčkova lípa” was designated a memorial tree on November 4, 1999; a memorial stone stands beside it.

Events

On March 20, 2025, MŠ Milčice held Vynášení Morany for the public. The procession ended with the traditional burning of Morana at a fire by the pond.
