Discover Hoštice

Hoštice is associated with the “Slunce, seno” film series. Other topics to consider when planning your trip include the fire brigade museum, the Jewish cemetery, the chateau, and traditional Czech cuisine at Hostinec U Miluny. The range of interests spans film and firefighting to historic gravestones and architectural history.

Film Connections and Fire Brigade Museum

If the film series sparks your interest in Hoštice, its connection to the place offers a cultural point of interest in its own right. The Hoštice Fire Brigade Museum focuses on something different: it displays older firefighting equipment as well as trophies and awards from fire brigade sports competitions. The exhibition also includes items connected with Hoštice, including exhibits about Zdeněk Troška, the director who was born in Hoštice, and the Czech country music legend Michal Tučný.

The museum brings together firefighting equipment and awards from fire brigade sports with connections to people from Hoštice and the Czech country music scene. This adds other cultural themes to the film connection. If you would like to include the museum in your plans, check the current opening hours in advance.

Jewish Cemetery and the Chateau’s History

The Jewish cemetery in Hoštice preserves 56 gravestones dating from 1735 to the end of the 19th century. This dating covers a long historical period. The Chateau Hoštice, by contrast, has two distinct periods to consider: the single-storey building probably dates from the 17th century, and it was remodelled in 1777. The year refers to the remodelling; the date of origin is a probable estimate. The cemetery is notable for its gravestones, while the chateau is notable for its architectural history.

For planning purposes, the distinction between architectural history and visitor access is also important: the chateau is privately owned and not open to the public. Take this access restriction into account before planning a visit, and check the current status if you return to your plans later.

Cuisine and Train Travel

Hostinec U Miluny serves traditional Czech cuisine, including desserts. If you would also like to include culinary interests in your travel plans, it offers a specific connection to Czech cuisine in Hoštice.

Hoštice u Volyně railway station is on line 198 between Strakonice and Volary. Knowing the line can help with orientation, but it does not replace checking the current timetable. Before travelling, check whether the train is scheduled to stop at the station before planning your rail journey around it.

Choose Your Stay According to Your Reason for Travelling

If you are looking for a hotel in Hoštice, first consider what interests you most about the place. The connection to the film series and the exhibits about people in the museum offer a different focus from the Jewish cemetery’s gravestones or the chateau’s architectural history.
