Peace and Quiet at the Husinec Dam – Oseky #7821

The area around Osek and the Husinec Dam is ideal for cyclists who enjoy more varied terrain, hills, forest trails, and beautiful views of the South Bohemian countryside. This isn’t a completely flat area, so it’s a good idea to expect some elevation gain and more challenging sections. But that’s precisely what makes these rides more varied and interesting than typical flat-terrain rides.

E-bikes are a major advantage, allowing even less experienced cyclists to enjoy the surrounding hills. Electricity is available on the property, so you can conveniently recharge your e-bikes upon your return and set out again the next day.

From here, you can set out on shorter rides around the area—to the Husinec Dam, toward Prachatice, into the forests above Oseky, or further on to Libín and the Šumava Mountains. Another major attraction is the newly built trails in Prachatice, which will be especially appreciated by lovers of mountain biking, technical riding, and more active cycling. Thanks to these trails, not only recreational cyclists but also those seeking a more athletic off-road experience will find something to enjoy.

We recommend mountain bikes, touring bikes, or e-bikes in particular. Road cyclists will also find nice routes here, but they should be prepared for the hilly terrain of the surrounding countryside.

On warm days, you can head to the nearby Blanice River, which is easily accessible from here and offers a pleasant way to cool off in nature. It’s not a traditional swimming area, but rather a spot for natural swimming and relaxing by the water in the beautiful South Bohemian countryside.

Those who prefer a more comfortable swimming experience with amenities can take advantage of the options in nearby Prachatice. There is a municipal pool, and during the summer season, the popular Hulák pool, which is easily accessible by car. Prachatice also offers other services, shops, restaurants, and the chance to combine swimming with a short trip into town.

The surrounding area thus offers both options—a refreshing dip in nature along the Blanice River and more comfortable swimming with amenities in Prachatice.

The area around Osek is ideal for anyone who wants to spend time outdoors, take walks in the woods, explore the Prachatice region, and enjoy the tranquility of South Bohemia. Right from the village or its immediate surroundings, you can set out on short walks through the woods, to the Husinec Dam, to the Blanice River, or simply along the surrounding meadows and paths.

A major attraction is the Husinec Dam, around which you can enjoy pleasant walks with views of the water and the surrounding countryside. The area is perfect for peaceful strolls, morning walks, walks with your dog, or an evening stroll through nature.

Those who enjoy longer trips can head toward Prachatice, a historic town with a beautiful center, cafés, restaurants, and the chance to combine a walk with a break or some shopping. Prachatice is also a good starting point for further excursions in the surrounding area.

For more experienced hikers, Libín is worth mentioning—one of the most famous landmarks in the Prachatice region. A hike to Libín offers forest trails, an observation tower, and beautiful views of the countryside. It’s an ideal destination for those seeking a bit more elevation gain and the reward of a panoramic view.

In the wider area, we also recommend Boubín, known primarily for the Boubín Primeval Forest and its observation tower. It’s a beautiful all-day trip for lovers of the Šumava Mountains, deep forests, and authentic hiking.

The area thus offers a good mix of short walks right in the vicinity and longer trips to Prachatice, Libín, the Husinec Dam, or further into the Šumava Mountains.

Na pozemku nemáme žádnou farmu, minizoo ani ochočeného velblouda. Nejčastějšími sousedy jsou tu srnky, zajíci a občas liška, která podle nálady projde kolem a dá dobrou noc.

Zvířata jsou volně žijící, takže negarantujeme pravidelný večerní program, krmení ani focení na objednávku. Když budete mít štěstí a budete se chovat tiše, můžete je zahlédnout hlavně ráno, večer nebo při klidném posezení v přírodě.

Prosíme hosty, aby místní zvířecí obyvatele nerušili, nekrmili a nechali jim jejich prostor. Oni na oplátku nechají prostor vám.
