Discover Přešťovice: Village History, Cycling Route and Landscape

Přešťovice has a compact, road-oriented village centre enclosed by agricultural farmsteads. For your travel planning, you can consider the character of the village, its history, cycling connections and landscape as separate perspectives.

When staying in a holiday apartment in Přešťovice, you can compare travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions on the respective offer pages. These three fields connect specific booking planning with your personal weighting of culture, history, landscape and cycling route.

Culture and History

Přešťovice was founded in 1397 and belonged to the Štěkeň estate during the feudal period. The central chapel in Přešťovice was built in 1805. A war memorial for those who fell in the First World War in Přešťovice lists the names of the victims, including residents of the village. You can weigh these chronological and commemorative-cultural aspects separately in your own travel planning.

A Germanic settlement and burial ground are located on the boundary of the cadastral areas of Přešťovice and Slaník. The excavated part of the cremation burial ground at the Germanic settlement and burial ground comprises 522 graves. For visitors interested in history, both details can be understood as separate settlement and excavation references.

Roads and Cycling Route

Road III/1406 runs through Přešťovice and follows the Strakonice–Přešťovice–Štěkeň–Kestřany–Písek route. Cycling route No. 1067 runs through the area of Přešťovice and connects Jemnice, Brusy, Štěkeň, the Otava cycle path, Strakonice and Zvíkov. Those planning different means of transport can assess both connections independently of one another. The sequence of roads and the cycling connection differ not only in their designation: III/1406 identifies a continuous connection between five places, while cycling route 1067 lists six additional points of reference, including the Otava cycle path and Zvíkov. For planning your own day, this creates a clear difference between a sequence of places along the road and an explicitly named course of the cycling route. Both details can therefore be read separately without one replacing the other.
