Kyšice: Chapel, Festivals and Cycling Route

Kyšice can be considered as a travel destination for several specific reasons: a chapel built in 1829, two annual events, two IDPK bus routes and a cycling route with a rest stop. These topics answer different planning questions. The building’s history and event dates offer a cultural perspective on the town, while the route itineraries and cycling route help you plan your journey and bike ride.

The Chapel of St. Lawrence and its History

The present-day Chapel of St. Lawrence in Kyšice was built in 1829. It is considered Neoclassical and is also sometimes classified as late Baroque. Both terms refer to the same building; the late Baroque classification is an alternative description. The year and the style terms offer different clues: the date establishes when it was built, while the terms describe its architectural classification. This provides a specific reference point for the town’s history, where the historical date and the stylistic description can be distinguished. If you are interested in architecture, you can include the chapel as a destination in its own right on your trip to Kyšice.

Annual Events

A traditional Masopust procession takes place in Kyšice every year; the Historical Afternoon is also held annually. These are two separate occasions to consider when planning a trip, not one joint event date. The traditional character applies to the Masopust procession, while the Historical Afternoon is a separate recurring annual event. If you would like to plan your stay around one of the events, check the specific date before making your plans. This will let you tailor your trip to whichever event matters most to you.

Getting There by IDPK Bus

Two IDPK bus routes with different itineraries are relevant to your journey. Route 440253 runs between Zábělská, Kyšice, Dýšina and Chrást, and back. Route 470222 runs between Plzeň, Kyšice, Rokycany, Strašice and Cheznovice, and back. Kyšice is therefore on both of the routes listed; the sequence of the other towns distinguishes the two services. When planning your journey, first check which of the towns listed fits your route, then refer to the corresponding route number and direction. Since timetables can change, check the current service before setting off.

Cycling Route and Getting Around

A specific point of reference for planning a bike ride is Cycling Route No. 3 between Kyšice and Červený Hrádek. A rest stop with a map was installed along this route in 2025. Check the current condition of the rest stop before your ride. In addition, signs were installed in 2025 in the municipality of Kyšice in the vicinity of the cycling route; it is best to check on site whether the signage is still there. The map at the rest stop and the signs in the vicinity of the route are different navigation aids: the rest stop is associated with the named section of Route No. 3, while the signs are in the vicinity of the cycling route within the municipality. You can take these details into account separately when planning your ride.
