Svrabov: Local History, Marian Chapel and Cycle Route 11

The village was first mentioned in written records in 1318; there is also a specific bus route, a cycle route through Svrabov and other tourist routes in the surrounding area. One specifically named place to stay is the apartments at Farma Hejlov.

Accommodation and Amenities

Farma Hejlov in Svrabov offers four apartments with a total of 22 beds; this figure refers to the accommodation as a whole. Guests at Farma have access to a pool by a pond, a children's playground and the opportunity to fish. These features are available to guests staying there. When comparing hotels in Svrabov, check the details of each offer separately: the facilities at Farma do not apply as a general description of other accommodation. This lets you consider the apartment option and a hotel offer based on the features specifically listed for each.

History and the Marian Chapel

The first written record of Svrabov dates from 1318. At the time, the seat of the Vladik Bartoš of Svrabov and Klokoty was located here. This early mention links the village's name to a specific historical seat and a person known by name.

The Marian Chapel is another point of historical interest. The local lord of the manor had it built after 1918 out of gratitude that his son had returned alive and well from the First World War. The chapel was restored around 2000. Its construction after the war and its later restoration are two distinct stages in its history.

Josef Václav Kamarýt, a Czech poet of the National Revival and Catholic priest, also stayed as a guest at Svrabov Castle. His stay adds a literary and religious point of interest to the village's history.

Cycle Route and Other Routes

Cycle Route 11 passes through Svrabov; check the current signage before setting off. Local tourist routes also run through the surrounding area. Check their current markers before you start as well. The Tábor–Prčice–Tábor route passes through Svrabov. Its route page is maintained by the event organiser; check the details of the current edition before your trip. Different information is therefore important for these routes: the cycle route signage, the markers for local routes and the details of the Tábor–Prčice–Tábor route edition.

The Castle Park

A description from 2008 describes the once extensive park at Svrabov Castle as neglected. Check its condition on site before planning a visit.
