Roads and transport

The development of transport routes is also part of the local history. The road from Hrádek via Horčápsko to Tochovice was built in 1928. Construction of the road from Horčápsko to Hráze began in 1932. A cherry tree avenue was planted along the road from Horčápsko to Hráze in 1934. Horčápsko is connected to Příbram and Březnice by bus and rail services.

Historical traces

A historic branch of the road ran east along Horčápský rybník, over the eastern slope of the 538-meter-high Vinice hill, and continued to Březnice. Around Vinice, preserved sunken lanes bear witness to a historic road network. A plague column stands beside the historic road to Březnice. Several sunken lanes have been preserved along the current road, on the historic route from Horčápsko to Hráze.

A second historic branch of the road led from Horčápsko via Hráze, a younger settlement that developed on a dam between two ponds. In Horčápsko, a blue hiking trail serves tourism and leads through important sights and interesting places in the surrounding area.
