Hulice: Hotels and Accommodation

Hulice brings together themes related to water, nature and history.

Culture and History

The interactive Včelí svět Museum in Hulice was created by converting the former Hulice school. Its educational trail leads through the garden and herb garden to eight playful and educational stations.

The documented history of Hulice begins with its first mention in written sources from 1295. The more recent history of the area includes the settlement of Švihov, which disappeared during the construction of the Želivka waterworks. Flooded bridges have also been preserved on the Želivka as a unique technical monument.

Vodní dům displays original medieval wall paintings from the former church in Dolní Kralovice, which was submerged.

Water and Nature

Vodní dům explains the importance of water for nature and people using the Želivka European Special Area of Conservation and the Švihov Reservoir as examples. In the Vodní atrium, visitors can operate artificial watercourses with pumps, water mills, weirs and water distributors.

The exhibition at Vodní dům also includes Hadcová skalka. It presents kuřička hadcová, which grows nowhere else in the world except in the Kraj blanických rytířů region.

The indoor and outdoor areas of Vodní dům are wheelchair accessible and accessible with prams; there are also accessible toilets. An educational trail with eleven informative stations has been created around Vodní dům.
