Vlčkov: Hotels and Accommodation

Vlčkov lies on the northern bank of the Vlčkovský potok and preserves original buildings of folk architecture. Preserved farmsteads and historic houses contribute to the character of the local landscape.

Location and Village Character

The CT 4145 cycle route from Sloupnice to Kozlovský kopec passes through Vlčkov. This connects the settlement along the Vlčkovský potok with a clearly designated cycle route, while the preserved rural buildings shape the character of the village.

Chapel and Monument

The chapel in Vlčkov was fully completed on 21 June 1904 and consecrated on 15 August 1904. A statue of Mary, Help of Christians, with the Infant Jesus was placed inside it.

The T. G. Masaryk monument stands in the village square. It was unveiled on 6 August 1922 and consists of a pedestal and a bust of Masaryk.

Music and the Spring-Cleaning Tradition

The traditional music festival “Putování za studánkami” has taken place in Vlčkov every last Saturday in May since 1983. Its tradition is based on the local custom of cleaning springs. At the same time, the festival is connected with the cantata “Otvírání studánek,” composed in 1955 by Bohuslav Martinů to words by the poet Miloslav Bureš.

Remembering the First Republic

“Putování za tradicemi první republiky” has invited enthusiasts of one- and two-track vehicles from the period before 1938 to Vlčkov every 28 October since 2009. The festive drive runs from Litomyšl via Vlkov, Němčice, Člupek and Pudilka to Vlčkov. There, participants attend a commemorative ceremony and sing Masaryk’s favorite song, “Ach, synku, synku.”
