Klecany: Hotels and Accommodations

The fortified settlement of Klecany is classified as an important archaeological site. It lies between Klecany and the Vltava, above the right bank of the river southwest of the town. The site covered around 5.8 hectares and was fortified all around; in some places, an earth rampart has survived in the terrain to this day.

History and Architectural Heritage

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Klecany is first mentioned in a document from 1332. It was originally a Gothic building and was later remodeled in the Baroque style.

A fortress stood on the site of Klecany Castle and is mentioned as early as 1380; the castle itself has been documented since 1607.

Routes and Crossing

Long-distance cycle route No. 7, “Elbe Trail Prague – Dresden,” runs through Klecany in the district of Klecánky. In addition, the Čertovka path, which is for the most part artificially constructed, leads from the fortified settlement of Klecany to the Vltava.

The Klecánky ferry transports people, bicycles, and small motorcycles; crossings at this location have been documented since 1911.

Views of the Vltava

The Vyhlídka viewpoint above the Vltava offers views of the river valley, Levý Hradec, and a weir. The Vyhlídka nad jezem viewpoint is located on a steep rock, topped by a wooden cross.

Memorial at Černá skála

A memorial plaque at Černá skála commemorates Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk’s visit on July 16, 1920. An annual commemorative procession in honor of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk ends at Černá skála on the eve of March 7; locally, the site is also called “Masarykova skála.”
