The already completed recreational zone in Nové Srbice offers opportunities for short-term daily recreation. Recreational development in Srbice is supported, among other things, by designated cycle paths and purpose-built trails.

History and Local Development

The first written record of Srbice dates from 1403. The older name Řeřevice is presumably associated with near-surface coal seams, which could frequently catch fire at their outcrops.

The original undermined settlement has disappeared; the place names Staré Srbice and Nové Srbice are still used today. The coal mines in Srbice employed around 600 miners in the first half of the 20th century. Road traffic and the nearby railway connection accelerated the industrial and mining development of Srbice.

Culture and Community Life

After several years, the Srbice Volunteer Fire Brigade revived the tradition of erecting a maypole in the village square by the chapel. On 30 April 2019, the volunteer fire brigades from Srbice organized a witch-burning celebration for children from Srbice and the surrounding area.
