Zbraslav: Holiday Apartments and Houses

The first written mention of Zbraslav dates back to 1222. The Church of St. Giles is located in the centre of Zbraslav. It originated as a Romanesque chapel from the 13th century, which was expanded into a Gothic church in the 14th century by the addition of a nave and tower. Remains of cross-ribbed vaults have been preserved in the presbytery and sacristy.

Culture

North of Zbraslav, near the road to Ludvíkov in the Příčnice forest area, stands an expiation memorial stone featuring a relief of a Latin cross and the year 1596. The original is kept in the municipality, while a copy stands at the original site. A second stone stele with a cross relief is also located near this memorial stone.

At the corner of Školní and Komenského streets in Zbraslav, a stone wayside shrine bears a relief of St. Wendelin. Another stone wayside shrine in Zbraslav bears the year 1781. At the north-eastern edge of the Zbraslav district, on the road towards Litostrov, stands the pedestal of a statue of St. John of Nepomuk. The original statue was stolen; a replica is in place.

The Hradiště Zbraslav archaeological site contains remains of a former castle belonging to the nobleman Gerhard of Zbraslav from the 13th and 14th centuries.

The floodplain of the Bílá voda River is designated as a significant landscape feature. The Bílá voda valley contains important spring areas within Level 2 water protection zones.

Exploring Zbraslav

The Hornická themed circular cycling route no. 5199 runs through the Zbraslav area. It leads from the Oslava Valley to the Bílý potok through the former Rosicko-Oslavansko hard-coal mining district. The Zbraslav educational trail has seven information panels covering natural and historical attractions. Motýlí stráň, a natural attraction, is part of the trail. You can also visit the Karolína riding stable in Zbraslav.

Winter and Mobility

The Zbraslav ski resort relies on natural snow, so the winter season depends on snow conditions. Zbraslav is served by IDS JMK bus services and has four bus stops.
