Holedeč: Hotels and accommodation

A tourist route runs through Holedeč, beginning in Holedeček and leading to Výrov (509 m above sea level), the highest point of Džbán Nature Park.

Culture and history

The Church of St. Bartholomew in Holedeček has been documented in writing since 1346. After it burned down in 1737, it was rebuilt in its present Baroque form. In addition to the church building, the entire listed complex also includes the surrounding wall and the mortuary.

At the Veletice–Stránky crossroads stands a Baroque niche chapel that is a listed monument. Stránky is also home to a chapel with a bell that has been entered on the list of state-protected cultural monuments.

The listed house with barn No. 36 is a 19th-century farmhouse with a wooden arbor and documents the traditional folk architecture of the Žatec region. An earring found in Holedeč was described as the fifth known example of its kind in Bohemia.

Landscape and trails

Na Pískách is a sandstone plateau landscape northeast of Holedeč on the northwestern edge of Džbán Nature Park. The Holedeč forest educational trail consists of two circular routes, each 4 km long. It runs mainly through pine forests and along the sunny Na Pískách meadow, where rare steppe plants grow.

The network of the main field paths in the Na Pískách locality connects Holedeč and Stránky and also serves as a route for pedestrians and cyclists. The “Lesní putování s Hopíkem” educational trail was intended primarily for the recreation and relaxation of forest visitors.
