Sušice: Hotels, History and Festival Traditions

A fortress inhabited by a local lord stood on the site of the old Slavic hillfort; its existence has been archaeologically documented. The first written mention of Sušice dates from 1344. That year, a plot of land in Sušice was bequeathed to Velehrad Monastery. The former manorial mill is also part of the documented history of the town: it is first recorded in 1603, while the last milling took place in 1848. The Chapel of the Virgin Mary dates from 1886. A monument near Sušice also commemorates a Swedish general who fell during the Thirty Years’ War.

Mariánské hody s právem are regarded as a local tradition in Sušice and are celebrated every year. The 2026 Mariánské hody were scheduled for 29 and 30 August 2026 at the Hřiště Sušice sports field. A Fašank procession is also traditionally held in Sušice, with participants wearing various masked costumes. The children’s event “Dětský den” with the children’s programme “VESELUŠKA A KAMARÁDI” was scheduled for 13 June 2026. The event “Pálení čarodějnic a stavění máje” is also organised in Sušice.

Regional customs and flavours are also part of the festival culture. Slovácké koláčky are part of the folklore and festival traditions in Sušice. During the hody celebrations, the families of the stárky offer refreshments to visitors at their homes. At the traditional Slivovice tasting, a jury and the other visitors evaluate the submitted samples. The municipal symbolism of Sušice includes a grape figure commemorating the region’s historic winemaking tradition.

The 34-kilometre “Stezka Rulandského bílého” cycling route passes through Sušice.
