Discover Hosty: Nature, History and Local Character
Hosty brings together a range of themes for planning a trip: village architecture, protected nature, river landscapes, historic estates and Cycle Route 1137. In Hosty, culture and landscape can be viewed side by side through several specific places and themes.
The Lužnice–Nežárka Natura 2000 site is located in the Hosty area. It is designated as a site of community importance. Nový Dvůr is a recreation centre.
What can the architecture of Hosty reveal?
One distinctive building is the Chapel of the Most Holy Trinity. It has a large hexagonal nave and a smaller rectangular presbytery closed on three sides. The chapel stands in the middle of Hosty village square.
Several estates also point to different rural building traditions. House No. 17 is an original granary. No. 18 is a farmstead with a preserved gateway as well as residential and agricultural sections. Estate No. 69 has a gable in the style of South Bohemian folk Baroque. Together, these examples show different functions and design elements: the granary, farmstead and gable each represent a distinct aspect of the local character.
Which natural and landscape features are associated with Hosty?
The Lužnice Natural Monument is one of the specially protected natural areas in the Hosty area. It complements the Lužnice–Nežárka Natura 2000 site as another natural feature.
The remains of graphite mines have also been preserved on Kraví hora in the cadastral area of Hosty. This adds a trace of the area's former use to the natural themes. The combination of protected areas and preserved mining remains allows you to view Hosty from both landscape and cultural-historical perspectives.
What role do the rivers and Nový Dvůr play?
Nový Dvůr is a historic farmstead at the confluence of the Vltava and Lužnice rivers. At the same time, Nový Dvůr is a recreation centre.
The burial mound field lies on a wooded rise between the Vltava and the Sobní stream. Its connection with the rivers and the wooded terrain makes the site a distinct theme within the surrounding area. The 78 burial mounds currently located there also provide a specific indication of the archaeological site's size.
