Strunkovice Nad Blanicí: Airfield, Blanice and St. Dominic

Strunkovice Nad Blanicí as a destination

In Strunkovice Nad Blanicí, you’ll find several points of interest to help plan your trip: the railway station and airfield, St. Dominic’s Church, and the Žíchovec campsite. If you’re looking for a hotel, first consider whether travel connections, architectural history or leisure activities should be the main focus of your stay.

The municipality lies on the Blanice River in the foothills of the Bohemian Forest. The river and the foothills provide both a local and a landscape reference point: the Blanice locates the town by the river, while the foothills describe its broader geographical setting. This lets you consider the specific places to visit in the context of the town’s location.

Getting there and the airfield

Strunkovice nad Blanicí railway station is on the České Budějovice–Volary line. The airfield is about 1.5 kilometres from the station, or around a 20-minute walk. This distance and walking time refer to the route between the station and the airfield; check the timetable for your travel dates when planning your train journey. LKSR Strunkovice is a public domestic airport with daytime VFR operations. Scenic flights are available at the airfield, as are visits to aircraft in a hangar. If you’re planning a flight or hangar visit, check the airport’s operating conditions and the specific offer before travelling.

St. Dominic’s Church

St. Dominic’s Church offers a historical focus for a visit to the town. It dates from the second half of the 13th century and was remodelled in the 18th century. At the entrance to the chapel is an Early Gothic portal with Romanesque elements. The building thus brings together different historical periods and specific architectural features: its medieval origins, later remodelling and the design of the portal. If you’re interested in history and architecture, you can include these aspects as a separate item on your itinerary.

Exhibition and leisure

The “Foto na provázku” photography exhibition also adds a cultural dimension. Its 26th edition brings together amateur photographers from the Czech Republic and abroad and is accompanied by an extensive cultural programme. If you’d like to visit the exhibition, check the dates and programme details in advance.

The Žíchovec campsite is beyond Strunkovice nad Blanicí on Road No. 141 between Prachatice and Vodňany, near the Blanice. It offers ten cabins with a total of 50 beds, as well as pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes. Leisure facilities include a minigolf course, a natural-water swimming pool, a volleyball court, table tennis, bicycle rental, small sports equipment rental and a children’s playground. As accommodation and facilities can change, check cabin availability and the current range of leisure activities before travelling.

The options for planning your trip can be clearly distinguished: the railway station and airfield offer points of interest for travel connections and aviation, while St. Dominic’s is a destination for history and architecture. The campsite complements these local attractions with camping and leisure facilities.
