Mazice: Hotels and Accommodation

The historic centre of Mažice is an extensive, circular village green with a pond in the middle. The granary next to House No. 5 is considered the oldest building in Mažice and is said to date from 1613. At the same time, it was one of the early buildings to be converted from an original wooden structure into a masonry building.

A chapel with a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk dating from 1671 stands on a stone Baroque bridge in Mažice. The bridge with the niche chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk is a protected historic monument. Beside the pond in the centre of the village green stands the Chapel of Saint Anne, which dates from the second half of the 19th century.

Mažická Stodola is a historic building and the last surviving part of the former so-called Mažický dvůr, House No. 16. Mažická Stodola contains rooms for leisure activities, recreational sports, and cultural and social events held by the municipality. The year 1853 is marked on the gable of the forge in Mažice.

Mažice lies on the edge of peatlands between fields and meadows. The Veselská blata Nature Monument also includes the cadastral area of Mažice and protects a transitional peat bog within a basin bog, with characteristic flora and fauna as well as flooded areas, wet meadows and wetland habitats.

In the surrounding area, the Borkovická blata educational trail explores a protected peat bog with typical bog vegetation; most of the 6.5-kilometre route runs along wooden footbridges.

The Mažice educational trail provides information about past and present village life in the Blata, local Blata architecture, traditional Blata costume and peat extraction. It begins on the village green in Mažice, leads to the Veselská blata Nature Monument and returns via Zálší. The Mažice educational trail is a circular route; the village of Mažice, its starting point, can be reached by car or bicycle.

The educational trail offers circular routes of 4.5 kilometres and 2 kilometres, as well as six information boards with activities for children. The “Na Borkovická blata a za lidovou architekturou” cycling route is a signposted 51-kilometre circular route.
