Příkosice: Hotels and Accommodation

Příkosice lies on the edge of the Brdy forests.

History and Culture

Příkosice is historically associated with Homberk Castle and is first mentioned indirectly in this context in 1368. Homberk Castle was built on two nearby Buližník outcrops connected by a low saddle; the structures were probably predominantly made of wood. In 1406, the castle was besieged and captured by royal troops.

On February 1, 1825, a Fata Morgana occurred near Příkosice, close to Rokycany. Příkosice is also home to a statue of Saint Anthony of Padua.

Landscape and Geology

The Homberk geological locality illustrates the cooling of lava during a submarine eruption. In the broader geological context, it is associated with volcanism linked to an underwater eruption and hydrothermal activity featuring concentric stromatolitic structures.

Příkosická skála consists of several scattered Buližník rock formations up to 18 metres high on the rocky Homberk ridge. Fixed belay anchors are installed on the climbing rocks of Příkosická skála; alternatively, climbers can use trees for belaying.

Connections and Routes

Příkosice lies on the railway line from Rokycany to Nezvěstice. Thanks to its good road connections, and especially its railway connection, Příkosice is a destination for day trips and recreation for people from larger cities.

The Příkosická skála climbing area can be reached on foot from Příkosice railway station via the path by the former JZD, past the cemetery, over Kuželkovic vršek (556 m), and along forest paths to Homberk.
