Cizova: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Accommodation in Cizova
The Church of St. James the Greater is considered the oldest and most valuable architectural monument in Čížová. It has a Gothic core with architectural elements from the Písek-Zvíkov building lodge. It can be assumed that it was built as a parish church by the middle of the 13th century at the latest. It can be reached via two marked hiking trails; cycle route 1161 from Čížová to Chlaponice passes by it. The Chapel of St. Barbara was built south of the church’s main entrance in 1759. It contains a 5 × 2.7-metre crypt, which presumably served as a burial place for the families of senior estate officials.

Culture and History
The hospital in Čížová was built in 1762–1763 for eight elderly and poor people. The Municipality of Čížová bought Čížová Castle in 2013; it has been gradually restored since 2013. The former aristocratic brewery in Čížová was built by Václav Mikuláš Deym in the second half of the 17th century.
A three-storey Baroque granary dating from 1734 stands on a slope alongside the road and is conspicuous from afar. Almost opposite a chapel on the road to Blatná, a stone reconciliation cross can be seen.
Landscape and Trails
Mount St. James above Čížová offers views of Písek and the surrounding municipalities; on a clear day, the Šumava can also be seen. The excursion “Through the Golden-Bearing Otava Canyon” can be undertaken by bicycle or on foot. Čížová has train and bus connections.
Discoveries
The municipality offers the holiday activity “Journeying with Mušlík” and provides a map to download and print for this purpose.
