Břasy: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Břasy reveals itself through specific places where history, landscape and present-day use each set different accents.
History
The Naučná stezka po stopách důlní činnosti na Břasku explores numerous remnants of mining and industrial operations in the area around Břasy, Stupno, Kříše, Vranovice and Darová. At the beginning of the route, the Bašta Nature Monument offers a view of a preserved remnant of the mighty upper Radnice seam of high-quality hard coal.
The Sternberg Crypt was built in 1827 in the pure Empire style. It is the burial place of Kašpar Maria hrabě ze Šternberka, regarded as one of the founders of palaeobotany. The crypt is opened only on exceptional occasions.
In Stupno, the railway museum was ceremoniously opened on Saturday, 7 September 2024. It is dedicated to the history of the local railway line from Chrást to Radnice.
The Ultramarinka leisure centre also points to the area’s industrial past: an ultramarine factory originally stood on its grounds. Today, the leisure centre has obstacle elements for cyclists.
Landscape
The Kamenný kruh Hovězák consists of eight stones around the edge and a meditation seat in the centre. The stone circle offers an almost complete panoramic view of the surrounding open landscape. It can be reached on foot from Vranovice or Újezd u Sv. Kříže; it is not accessible by car.
The “Na Vrchách” lookout tower was built in 2013 behind Břasy in the direction of Liblín.
Vranovické jezero is now a body of water covering approximately 1.2 hectares, formed when groundwater flooded areas that had been mined underground; its maximum length and width are approximately 180 × 100 m. The lake is used for recreation, swimming and fishing.
