Polště: History, remembrance and cycling
Accommodation in Polště
Polště combines a clear geographical reference point with several ways to shape a stay. The highest point in Polště, Křížky, is 523 m above sea level; the village lies about 10 km southwest of Jindřichův Hradec. Local history, memorial sites, a traditional competition and a named cycling trip offer different perspectives. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, consider whether history, cycling or accommodation suited to your group should play the biggest part in your stay.

Location and historical routes
The cadastral area of Polště includes a holiday complex on the Velký Hatín pond with 12 cottages, as well as an allotment garden colony near the village pond, right in the village. The two bodies of water are easy to distinguish: the complex is on Velký Hatín, while the gardens are by the village pond. The number of cottages may change; if it matters for your plans, check the current details.
The historic Vitoraz Road passed through Polště and continued along embankments below the village towards Roseč, Mnich and Tábor. Its route links several named places into a shared historical line. The embankments below the village are a distinctive feature of this road; the place names give its continuation a clear direction. This makes it possible to understand Polště through a specific local history, rather than viewing it only as a point on the map.
Chapel, remembrance and tradition
Polště has a chapel with a bell tower. There is also a monument commemorating those who fell in the First World War; its reverse commemorates the legionnaires. The chapel offers an architectural and religious point of interest, while the monument links remembrance of the fallen with that of the legionnaires. Together, these features offer a cultural perspective alongside the historic road route.
Tradition and activity are also represented by specific events. Polště traditionally hosts the beer competition “Chlapi sobě.” If this event is important to your travel plans, ask about the date in advance. The “Stráž nad Nežárkou tam a zpět” cycling trip passes through Polště. It offers a different view of the village from the historic Vitoraz Road: here, the focus is on a named cycling trip, while there it is the former road route. This lets you distinguish between a cultural event and cycling as a travel interest.
