Discover Kojcice: Village Green, Chapel and Hiking Trails

Kojcice has a clearly recognizable village center and several specific starting points for hiking and cycling trips. The Návesák pond defines the village green, while a marked hiking route passes through the center and a named route leads to a rocky viewpoint above the Hejlovka. If you are considering Kojcice as a destination for a hotel stay, the village’s character and routes can help you decide what you would like to focus on during your trip.

Village Character and Culture

Kojcice is laid out as a circular settlement with a pond on the village green. Návesák is its main visual landmark and helps orient visitors on the green. Another notable building is the Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk, which is considered historically and architecturally valuable as well as a significant architectural landmark. The village’s distinctive layout and a clearly identified building thus stand side by side in its overall character.

A cultural connection links Kojcice to the Czech comedy film “Marečku, podejte mi pero!” (“Marecek, Pass Me the Pen!”): Kojcice is mentioned as the home of the parents of the student Plha. This connection adds a film context to the local architectural and landscape features.

Hiking and Getting Around

A marked red hiking route runs through the center of Kojcice from north to southwest. The route “Along the Hejlovka River to the Viewpoint” starts at the edge of the village and follows a red-marked hiking trail to a rocky viewpoint above the Hejlovka River. Its longer variant continues to the Sedlická Reservoir. So if you want to include the reservoir in your hike, be sure to choose the longer variant.

Parking is available at the edge of Kojcice for this route. From Pelhřimov, you can drive to Kojcice and continue on foot. Before setting out, check the route details, the variant you have chosen, access and current parking arrangements; route variants and parking arrangements may change.

Cycling and Fishing

Marked cycling route 1223 passes through the cadastral area of Kojcice. The cycling route “From the Sedlická Reservoir to Křemešník” passes through Kojcice and U Šlejferků and by the Na Vyhlídce junction. The descriptions provide different types of guidance: route 1223 is identified by its passage through the cadastral area, while the cycling route lists specific places along the way and a junction.

The HEJLOVKA 1 fishing area (421 022) also has precisely defined boundaries. It extends from the weir at Břečovský Mill, upstream of the inlet to the Sedlická Reservoir, to the weir structure at Svárovský Mill in the cadastral area of Kojcice. Fishing regulations can change, so check the current rules before a fishing trip.

Planning More Excursions

There is a natural swimming area outside the built-up area in the direction of Vadčice. If you would like to visit, check the current opening status and access in advance.

When choosing Kojcice as a destination, you can weigh up the village green and its surroundings, the hiking destinations described here and the named cycling routes. These specific points of reference can help you plan your stay around your preferred activities, without conflating the different routes and options.
