Drahotieschitz: Hotels and Accommodation

Geographical Setting

Drahotěšice lies at an elevation of 526 m on the road between Ševětín and Dolní Bukovsko. The village is located on the edge of extensive forests between Hluboká nad Vltavou and Purkarec; these forests are visited because of their abundance of wild fruits.

Until the 1930s, there was a 3 km long and approximately 10 m thick quartz wall south of Drahotěšice. After it was quarried away, a ditch with quartz rocks remained, which can still be seen today.
