Radkov: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Radkov is located in the northernmost part of South Bohemia, in a highly varied, hilly landscape. At the northwestern edge of the Radkov area, the Leštinský potok flows through a narrow, wooded valley. There, it forms a valuable natural axis as well as a local biocorridor.

Nature

In the east of the Radkov area, a ravine formed by the Radkovský potok borders the area. It has a similar function and significance within the ÚSES system; the Radkovský potok is part of the Líderovice water network. The entire area around Radkov is characterised by agriculture, and there is no significant industry there.

History

Radkov's origins are associated with the 13th century; written records exist only from the beginning of the 15th century. Jícha z Radkowa is considered the first known man from the settlement. He embraced the Hussite teachings and moved to Tábor with several other inhabitants. Radkov u Tábora is also registered as an archaeological area with documented or well-founded presumed archaeological finds.

Culture

Radkov's listed immovable cultural monument is House No. 17, which is predominantly made of wood. The two-storey building, constructed mainly using timber framing, has an elongated rectangular floor plan. A monument commemorating those who fell in the First World War stands on Radkov's village green, in the centre of the village next to the chapel.

Radkov has been a member of the Společenství obcí Čertovo Břemeno municipal association since 2004. The village is one of five municipalities in the northern part of South Bohemia that belong to this municipal association.

Getting Around

Several well-marked hiking trails run through the Radkov area. In 2012, the international Greenways Prague–Vienna cycle route ran along the road from Radkov to Kostelec. The “Krajinou srdce” cycle route leads to the junction before Radkov and turns west there onto Road III/1233 towards Radkov.
