Strunkovice nad Blanicí lies on the Blanice River in the foothills of the Bohemian Forest. Two distinct themes shape the town for trip planning: the architectural history of St. Dominic’s Church and the airfield, which offers sightseeing flights and hangar tours. The Autokemp Žíchovec campsite, just beyond Strunkovice, is another overnight option. You can weigh up whether culture, aviation or accommodation with camping facilities should be the focus of your trip.
St. Dominic’s Church: Architectural History and Portal
St. Dominic’s Church 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 timeline distinguishes the original building from its later remodelling; the portal adds a specific architectural highlight to the building’s history. If you are interested in church architecture, you can distinguish two aspects here: the building’s date and the Early Gothic design with Romanesque elements at the chapel entrance.
Railway Station and Route to the Airfield
Strunkovice nad Blanicí railway station is on the České Budějovice–Volary line. The airfield is about 1.5 kilometres from the station, around a 20-minute walk. This approximate walking time refers to the route to the airfield; it is not a substitute for checking train timetables. If you plan to travel by train, also check the connection for your travel date.
Airfield: Sightseeing Flight or Hangar Tour
LKSR Strunkovice airfield is a public domestic airport with daytime VFR operations. Sightseeing flights are offered at the airfield; aircraft can also be viewed in a hangar. This gives you a choice between a flight in the air and a visit on the ground—two different ways to explore aviation. Check the airport’s operating conditions before travelling; if you are interested in a sightseeing flight or hangar tour, it is advisable to enquire about current availability.
Stay at Autokemp Žíchovec
Autokemp Žíchovec is just beyond Strunkovice nad Blanicí, on Road No. 141 between Prachatice and Vodňany, and close to the Blanice River. There are ten cabins with 50 beds, as well as pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes. You can therefore choose between a cabin and staying in a tent, caravan or motorhome. The campsite’s location by the road and near the river helps you place it geographically.
Leisure Facilities at the Campsite
Autokemp’s leisure facilities include mini golf, a natural-water swimming pool, a volleyball court and table tennis. There is also a bicycle rental service, small sports equipment for hire and a children’s playground. Two questions can help you decide: what type of accommodation are you looking for, and how important are leisure facilities at the campsite? This lets you weigh up accommodation and activities separately. As accommodation and facilities nearby may change, check the availability of your preferred accommodation and the current leisure facilities before your trip.
