Drachkov: Hotels and Accommodation

Drachkov combines historic buildings, local remembrance culture and a landscape along the Zahořanský potok. The village stretches for approximately 1 km along both banks of the stream.

Culture and History

The contribution granary known as Špejchar Drachkov was built from the remains of the original fortress. The building is a massive three-storey structure at the corner of the manorial farmyard. In 2012, Špejchar Drachkov was threatened with being sold by the town of Bystřice; a petition and the local association Špejchar Drachkov, z. s., saved the building.

The war memorial in Drachkov includes a commemorative plaque for the victims who were tortured by the Nazis during the Second World War. At the end of Drachkov in the direction of Tožice, there is also the Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk.

Landscape and Bodies of Water

In Drachkov, the Zahořanský potok flows through the Lískovec pond. The TJ Sokol Drachkov football stadium is currently used for sporting and cultural events.
