Strupčice: holiday apartments and holiday homes

The wooden Maják lookout tower stands on a former spoil heap about 0.5 km northeast of Strupčice. Four painted maps on the lookout tower compare today’s panorama with the landscape before hard-coal mining and the villages that disappeared below the Ore Mountains.

Culture and history

Strupčice was first mentioned in writing in 1352. The Church of Saint Wenceslas dates back to the 14th century and was rebuilt in 1780. Behind it, in a park by the stream, stands a state-protected sandstone statue by Johann Vetter from 1723, originally from the abandoned municipality of Tušimice. The church grounds also contain a state-protected, roughly hewn stone cross from the 16th century, originally from Vrchnice.

The more distant past is tangible as well: archaeological investigations show that the area around Strupčice was already inhabited more than 4,000 years ago.

A changing landscape

At the western edge of Strupčice, an approximately 10 m-high quarry face remains accessible near preserved brickworks chimneys.

Educational trail and activities

The Chomutovsko mobile application offers two child-friendly versions of the existing educational trail in Strupčice: one for younger children and one for older schoolchildren. The Strupčice educational trail also offers printable worksheets for children aged 7 to 11 and for people aged 11 and over.

The Chomutov–Strupčice cycle path runs about 500 m from the Maják lookout point. The Sportovní areál Strupčice offers a swimming pool, mini golf, beach volleyball courts and a campsite.

Festivals and local specialities

The market and fair events in Strupčice include the traditional garlic celebrations and the St Wenceslas pilgrimage. At the garlic celebrations, the refreshment stands served traditional garlic specialities, including garlic soup, potato pancakes, garlic strudel, koláčky and spreads.
