Číčenice between the Village Green, Smithy and Cycle Route
In the centre of Číčenice stands the Chapel of St Wenceslas, a listed brick building with a rectangular floor plan on the village green. An octagonal lantern belfry rises from the roof ridge. For a tour, the floor plan, materials and roof structure can be perceived as separate architectural details.

Culture and History
House No. 17 adds a different type of construction to the village landscape: it has two storeys and was built predominantly using log construction; its gabled façade faces the village green. In this building, the direction of the façade stands alongside the construction as a separate aspect. For visitors who pay attention to details, several levels of observation come together here: the building volume, façade orientation, roof structure and the use of a building.
The farmstead No. 11 with smithy was probably built in the 18th century and remodelled around 1848. The smithy, with accommodation for the journeyman, is a preserved example of the work and living spaces of a craft business from the 19th century. At the same time, the smithy is direct evidence of the development of communal smithies in South Bohemia. The dates and the description of the rooms draw attention both to the development over time and to the connection between work and living.
In the Surrounding Area
In the immediate surrounding area, Jaroslav, a flooded open-pit mine, is a place visited by tourists and anglers. Also nearby is Klús, a remote isolated settlement where Vít Fučík Kudlička lived. The two references to local places can be classified separately according to their described function or biographical association. Those wishing to organise the surrounding area thematically can distinguish between visited outlying places and a place with a biographical connection.
Other places: Tourov, Čečelovice, Krejnice, Bezdědovice, Škvořetice, Předslavice, Hlupín and Pole.
When comparing a hotel in Číčenice, check the travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions on the offer page. These three details concern different parts of planning: the period, the type of room and the conditions for changing or cancelling a booking.
Getting Around
Číčenice railway station is located on lines 190 České Budějovice–Strakonice–Plzeň, 193 Netolice–Týn nad Vltavou and 197 Číčenice–Nové Údolí. The station also has a waiting room for passengers. The line numbers and place names provide a concrete basis for organising travel planning along the respective connections. Those weighing up different travel options can distinguish the three lines by the places named for each of them.
The “Za krokodýly do Protivína” cycle circuit passes through Číčenice; it is approximately 35 km long. The approximate distance allows this cycling trip to be assessed objectively. The cycle route and hike represent two different forms of movement; the stated length of one and the destination of the other help to plan both activities separately. A hike to the local parts of Strpí and Újezdec is recommended.
