Větrušice: Hotels and Accommodation

Větrušice lie high above the Vltava on its rocky right bank. Their elevated location offers views of the Vltava, the rocks and the opposite municipality of Libčice; in good visibility, the peaks of the České středohoří can also be seen.

Nature and Landscape

Větrušické rokle was first placed under protection on 17 April 1969. The Větrušické rokle National Nature Reserve lies between Větrušice and the Vltava.

At 287 metres above sea level, Velký vrch is the highest point in the cadastral area; the Vltava Valley directly below it lies at 170 metres above sea level. Fish, amphibians, reptiles and waterfowl live in the Vltava floodplain. Červená skála is a viewpoint in the vicinity of Větrušice.

Paths and Routes

A path along the Vltava can be walked and, particularly by bicycle, used only at your own risk. After its relocation, the Via Czechia “Stezka středozemím” route runs above the Vltava Canyon through Větrušice in the Dolní Povltaví area.

Drábovna Cave can be reached via a small path leading along the river from Řež. The cavity of Drábovna Cave is 9 metres long and on average 3 metres wide and 3 metres high.
