Discover Postřekov

Postřekov combines exhibitions on local history with distinctive cultural and nature themes. If you’re looking for a hotel in Postřekov, you can use your interests as a starting point: would you like to learn more about folk costumes and firefighting equipment, or are ponds, plant life, and rock formations more your focus?

Culture and Local History

The Muzeum krojů features a permanent exhibition of Chod folk costumes, particularly those of the Upper Chods. The museum is housed in the old primary school building in Postřekov. The content and the location can be considered together: the focus is on Chod folk costumes, while the school building serves as the exhibition venue.

The Hasičské muzeum takes a different approach. The old fire station displays hand pumps; motor pumps and firefighting equipment are housed in the school’s former boiler room. The collection comprises 24 motor pumps, six hand pumps—including three horse-drawn ones—a steam pump, and three fire engines. The range of pumps and vehicles offers a concrete insight into the breadth of this collection, which differs clearly from the folk costume exhibition.

The Pamětní síň obce is devoted to the history of Postřekov. This permanent exhibition has been on display since 2002 in the municipal office building. Visits are possible by telephone appointment. Postřekov Masopust is also part of the municipality’s cultural character: it is its largest cultural event.

Ponds, Plant Life, and Rock Formations

Those more interested in nature can explore Postřekovské rybníky, a protected complex of more than 20 managed ponds. They lie about half a kilometre from Postřekov. The wetland is home to more than 300 species of vascular plants and provides nesting sites for many bird species. The focus here is therefore both on plant diversity and on the area’s importance as a bird habitat.

The Skalky na Sádku Natural Monument has a different landscape. It lies in the Český les biogeographic region, in the southern Čerchovský les subregion. A ridge of rugged rocks, several hundred metres long, runs through a mixed forest. A hiking trail follows the western boundary of the natural monument; in winter, the trail serves as a cross-country ski route. These details describe two seasonally different uses of the same trail without implying that it runs through the entire natural monument.

Weighing Up Your Interests When Looking for a Hotel

When looking for a hotel, you can first consider whether you’d prefer to combine your stay with exhibitions on local history or with nature themes. The exhibitions each have a distinct focus—folk costumes, the firefighting collection, and local history—while the nature sites offer contrasting landscapes, from ponds to a rocky ridge. This distinction provides a practical guide for planning your trip to Postřekov.
