Drahov: Hotels and Accommodation

As a parish church, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Drahov is documented as early as 1359. The Gothic building is a masonry structure from the early 15th century and has a floor plan in the shape of a regular cross. The church was modified in the second half of the 16th century and again in the 19th century.

Inside, remnants of the original wall paintings and a stone baptismal font have been preserved. A Marian chapel and a spring are also located near the church. According to local tradition, the water is said to have healing properties.

The road running through Drahov also forms the boundary of the Třeboňsko Protected Landscape Area. The protected habitats at Farářský Pond include species-rich mesotrophic to waterlogged meadows, stands of sedges and rushes, as well as waterside vegetation with shrubby willows.

The nearby Nežárka River and the forests around Drahov are suitable for walks. The surroundings of Drahov are also ideal for cycling.

As part of the revived Senné pilgrimage tradition, a procession travels on the first Sunday in July from Veselí nad Lužnicí via nearby Zlukov to the pilgrimage church in Drahov. Another local tradition is the Drahover Traktoriáda, featuring a gathering of tractors of various makes, years of manufacture and ages. Every year, Drahov also hosts a masked procession through the village and a children's masked carnival.
