Discover Popelistna

When planning a stay in Popelistna, you can weigh three main focuses against one another: the landscape around the VN Trnávka reservoir, the local settlement structure, and two different routes. Which perspective matters most depends on whether you want to include water activities, the village landscape, or a route in your travel plans.

Reservoir and landscape

The VN Trnávka reservoir is also located within the cadastral area of Popelištná. It lies in the varied landscape of the Křemešnická vrchovina in the heart of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. The reservoir is therefore the specific point of reference, while the two landscape names describe the broader geographical setting.

The reservoir offers opportunities for recreation, water sports, and fishing; local conditions may vary. If one of these activities is important to your stay, take the relevant conditions on site into account when planning. This will help you focus your trip on what you would like to do at the reservoir.

Village landscape and settlement structure

Popelistna has preserved some of its original urban structure. The built-up areas of the village as a whole are predominantly characterized by traditional farmsteads arranged around central village squares. The layout of the village is therefore apparent not only from individual farmsteads: their arrangement around the squares is also part of the structure.

If you want to consider settlement patterns as well as activities during your trip, this offers a different focus from the reservoir. Your attention then turns to the farmsteads, the village squares, and their spatial arrangement. Water sports and fishing, by contrast, offer a different way to spend your stay.

Cycling route and circular route

The “Z Pelhřimova kolem přehrad” cycling route is 57.5 km long and follows Class II and III roads. Popelištná is listed on this route at kilometre 44.7. The route length, road classes, and kilometre marker provide different points of reference: you can take the route’s overall distance, the road classes used, and the village’s position into account separately when planning.

Another circular route runs from Sedlice via Želiv, Bechyně, Boroviny, Červená Řečice, Popelištná, and Brtná, and then back to Sedlice. Check the route against current signage before setting out. While the cycling route specifies its length and road classes, the circular route is described by the sequence of places and the return to Sedlice.

When choosing between the routes, you can take these different details into account: the cycling route gives a specific total distance and road classes, while the circular route provides a described circuit. This lets you plan your trip using whichever type of guidance suits you, without treating the two routes as equivalent.

Find a hotel to suit your travel plans

When looking for a hotel in Popelistna, you can first decide what matters most to you: water activities, the village landscape, or one of the routes. Then check the listed location of a specific hotel against your travel plans. This lets you compare the destination based on what will actually matter most during your stay.
