Hospříz: Discover Culture, Nature and Trails

Hospříz was founded in the second quarter of the 13th century. At the same time, the protected Krvavý a Kačležský rybník area also includes the cadastral territory of Hospříz; it is an important breeding, gathering and migratory stopover area for many waterbird and wetland bird species. History and nature meet here as separate themes.

Culture and History

In Hospříz, the Návesní kaple Sv. Trojice is designated as an immovable cultural monument. The farmstead No. 16 in Hospříz is also designated as an immovable cultural monument. Near Hospříz, on the old road to Kunžak, stands a Late Gothic wayside shrine with an unusually large and well-preserved chapel. The three examples can be considered separately when planning your visit: the chapel, the farmstead and the wayside shrine.

The cultural monuments differ in their respective form and classification. A chapel, a farmstead and a wayside shrine represent different architectural points of reference in and near Hospříz. Those who do not focus their cultural itinerary on a single type of monument can view these three examples as independent aspects of the local history.

Nature

The Krvavý a Kačležský rybník National Nature Monument is also located in the cadastral territory of Hospříz. It protects wet woodland, transitional mires, reed beds and wet meadows. The themes can be given separate weight when several interests come together: history and culture, nature and trails each set their own priorities.

The information about the surroundings is defined spatially in different ways and combines several types of sites. This creates not a uniform list of similar destinations, but a tiered classification of castles, mountains, churches and ruins. This distinction keeps the respective place names and their geographical relationships to Hospříz visible.

Trails

The Jindřichohradecký circuit can be extended via Hospříz and Blažejov to approximately 18 km. One walk leads from Blažejov via Hospříz to Kačlehy and continues via Otín to Jindřichův Hradec. The two route descriptions address different planning questions: one concerns the length, the other the route. Both can be weighted according to your own interests.
