Nečín: Hotels and Accommodation

Nečín combines a distinctive granite landscape with extensive forests, marked hiking trails and traces of a complex past. As a land of stone, the municipality is characterised by many abandoned and flooded quarries; at the same time, more than half of its area is forested.

Landscape and Nature

Very high-quality grey-white Nečín granite has been quarried in Nečín since the 18th century. North of the village lies Lom Vančátka, the largest of the small flooded granite quarries. The flooded quarry is used for swimming; in winter, ice bathing or ice skating is possible there.

During the summer months, the forests in Nečín are used for mushroom picking and recreation. The highest point in the municipality is Nečínská Besídka at 508 m; in clear weather, the view extends as far as the Šumava Mountains.

The mountains of Velká Leč, Vesely, Velký Chlum and Aglaia are located in the vicinity of Nečín. The Church of Svatá Anna is also located nearby.

Hiking

The blue-marked hiking trail leads from Ouběnice into the municipal area of Nečín and joins the red-marked hiking trail at the Skalice, rozc. signpost; this section is 3 km long. A yellow-marked hiking trail connects sections of the green-marked hiking trail and leads directly through Nečín along the route between Vrchy, rozc. and Žebrák; its documented length is 3.4 km.

History and Traditions

The history of the granite landscape includes the bronze hoard found at Pudilův lom in Besídka. It was discovered by Josef Červenkа, a stonecutter from Nečín. The find consists of a bundle of bronze needles and is dated by historians to 2,500 years ago. The Nečín bronze hoard is kept at the National Museum in Prague and served as the basis for Eduard Štorch's book “Bronzový poklad”.

According to tradition, the Varta hill near the Skalice settlement once guarded the Sedlčany Way, a branch of the Golden Trail. Tradition also holds that a castle once stood on the wooded Bělohrad hill.
