Strašnov: Hotels and accommodations

The first written mention of Strašnov dates back to 1297.

History

A fortress is said to have originally stood in the forest near the village, serving as the seat of a military garrison; it is said to have protected a nearby trade route. The remains of the former Strašnov fortress are still clearly visible today as a rectangular platform with a ditch in the terrain.

Nature

The undeveloped area of Strašnov continues to serve for recreation away from residential areas, particularly hiking and cycling on agricultural and other purpose-specific paths in the countryside. An unmarked forest path leads to the fortress remains west of Strašnov. No marked hiking trail passes through Strašnov. The 8160 Krnsko–Strašnov, rozcestí cycling route also passes through the village.
