Discover Plenkovice Between Ponds and Hills
Plenkovice lies in the valley of the Plenkovický potok between the Špičák and Ležák hills.
Plenkovice is strongly defined by its location between the two hills Špičák and Ležák. When planning your trip, you can consider the landscape, culture and local history of Plenkovice together. These themes can all be found in the village itself: ponds and the stream, the Church of St. Lawrence, historic mills, the Plenkovické posvícení festival and the Jevišovicko cycling route.
What kind of landscape defines Plenkovice?
The Plenkovický potok connects two local ponds. One of the most prominent bodies of water is the Velký Plenkovický rybník, covering an area of 20.5 hectares. These two elements give the local landscape a distinct focus on water.
For orientation, the connection between the valley, stream and ponds is particularly important. You can consider the landscape as a separate theme when planning your trip and then decide how much additional attention you would like to give to the church, the mills or the cycling route.
What is known about the Church of St. Lawrence?
The Church of St. Lawrence has an Early Gothic core. Its historic architecture is an important sacred monument in Plenkovice. The village therefore offers a specific cultural theme alongside its bodies of water and landscape: when exploring Plenkovice, you can consider both the spatial structure of the valley and its older architectural history.
The church was extended in the 17th century.
Which mills and cycling-route themes are part of the local history?
The former mill No. 45 is located in Plenkovice below the dam of the 20.5-hectare Plenkovický rybník.
A mill in Plenkovice was built between 1822 and 1824. In addition, the 55-kilometre Jevišovicko cycling route, following in the footsteps of Raduit de Souches, passes through Plenkovice. If you would like to combine cycling history with local history, this route is a distinct aspect of your trip planning.
Which local tradition can you explore?
The Plenkovické posvícení is part of the folk tradition and includes dancing as well as a public family programme. It therefore represents another cultural aspect of the village alongside the landscape, architectural history and cycling route. You can consider this aspect separately from the historic mills and church because it describes a different form of local culture.
How can you choose accommodation in Plenkovice?
St. Lawrence, historic mills, the Jevišovicko cycling route or the Plenkovické posvícení festival. Then choose which of these themes will be the focus of your trip planning.
