Vlkov: Apartments and Holiday Homes

The original, tasteful rural buildings have a major influence on the appearance of Vlkov. On the village square, the “Vlkov gates” are a characteristic architectural feature.

Culture

The polygonal barn is the last surviving polygonal barn in the Hradec region and is occasionally accessible. The war memorial in Vlkov dates from 1929 and bears the names of 18 victims of the First World War and two victims of the Second World War.

A monolithic sandstone cross in the meadows north of Vlkov is known as a reconciliation cross. After it was found in 1993, it was re-erected approximately 50 metres from its original location.

A military triangulation pylon stands in a field south of Vlkov, near the road to Hradec Králové. The Vlkov pylon is part of the Josefovská triangulation network from 1874 and one of a total of three remaining points in this network.

Landscape

The “V Lužinách” pond near the edge of Vlkov is suitable for walks and nature observation. The eastern side of Vlkov offers a view of the Orlické Mountains. To the north, the view from Vlkov is approximately bounded by the well-known panorama of the Krkonoše Mountains.

The Elbe had a major influence on the living and economic conditions in its surroundings.

Gastronomy

Hospůdka Pod Lipami in Vlkov is a visitor-oriented pub offering three types of beer, homemade lemonades, coffee, and simple dishes such as pizza, pickled Hermelín cheese, pickled sausage, sausages, and rollmops. An outdoor seating area is available there in summer.
