Discover Mladotice

Three main themes provide a useful guide to a stay in Mladotice: the Baroko I cycling route, the educational trail and its history of the pond, and the Baroque chapel. The area also offers varied landscapes, and Mladotice zast. railway station is part of the integrated transport system.

Cycling route and educational trail

The Baroko I cycling route is 37 kilometres long and passes through Mladotice. It connects Mariánský Týnec, the Chapel of the Name of the Virgin Mary in Mladotice, and the Kalec farmstead. This brings together several named destinations and gives your cycling plans a specific route to follow. Before setting out, check the latest route information for its length and course.

The educational trail near Mladotice starts in the village square and is 2.3 kilometres long. It tells the 500-year history of one of the region’s largest ponds and the circumstances of its demise: exceptional rainfall followed by flooding in May 1872 caused the pond’s destruction. The combination of the pond’s history and this specific event offers a distinctive way to explore the history of the landscape. The trail is suitable for pushchairs and bicycles; nevertheless, check the path conditions and accessibility before your visit.

This gives you two different options for planning: a 37-kilometre cycling route connecting three destinations, and a 2.3-kilometre themed trail that starts in the village square.

Landscape and hiking trail

A green hiking trail runs along the Střela, passing Mladotice zastávka and the Podrázský Mill. Its named waypoints help you navigate along the river. Trail conditions can change, so check them before setting out.

At the southwestern edge of Mladotice’s cadastral area, the Střela forms a valley that in places becomes a deep gorge with rock formations and scenic viewpoints. Mladotice lies in the floodplain of the Mladotický potok.

The Baroque chapel

The Chapel of the Virgin Mary in Mladotice is a Baroque building by J. B. Santini, dating from 1708 to 1710. Its central plan is hexagonal and topped with a lantern. Star motifs recur in the geometric design of the Chapel of the Name of the Virgin Mary, in its dome and lantern, and in the interior. Visitors interested in architecture can focus on the floor plan, structure and these recurring motifs. A central plan arranges a building around its centre; the hexagonal shape gives this spatial arrangement a geometric outline and helps you understand its structure in three dimensions.
