History and landscape

Most of Otročiněves belonged to the domain of Křivoklát Castle. The mining of iron ore on Krušná hora, together with charcoal burning in the forests of the Křivoklátsko region, was part of the historical development of the local iron industry; mining was discontinued in 1964.

Velíz is also connected with the history of the village: a chapel dedicated to Saint John the Baptist is said to have been built on Velíz around 1005. Guards from Otročiněves were assigned to the chapel on Velíz.

Traditions and events

The “Otevírání studánek” tradition was revived in Otročiněves in 2024 and held for the second consecutive year in 2025. The traditional “Pochod na Děd” featured various activity stations for children and parents along the route; the destination was the Děd lookout tower. The traditional “Dýňování” included competitions and a courage trail and ended with the roasting of sausages.
