Discover Vojkov: Church, Castle and Forest Educational Trail

Vojkov is a place where listed architectural heritage, distinctive castle architecture, a forest educational trail by the pond and regular wine tastings come together. This creates a varied selection for planning your trip: you can view religious sights and historic buildings, explore Svatý Jan Pond or get your bearings on the Bystřice–Prčice route with its checkpoint. The individual destinations give Vojkov its character without requiring you to limit yourself to just one type of excursion.

Church Complex and Religious Sights

The listed complex of the Vojkov Church of St. James with its rectory forms the centre of the local architectural heritage. It comprises the church, the surrounding wall, the rectory at No. 31 and the associated properties. The complex combines sacred architecture with the elements of a historic ensemble and provides a specific point of interest for anyone who wants to get to know Vojkov through its history. One of the most important local religious sights in Vojkov is also the niche chapel of St. John of Nepomuk. This means that the village offers different forms of religious architecture, from the larger church complex to the chapel.

Vojkov Castle and Architectural Details

Vojkov Castle is a two-storey, two-winged building with a projecting risalit. The complex is complemented by a slender polygonal tower with a Neo-Gothic crenellated crown. These architectural elements make the castle a destination for visitors who pay attention to façades, building forms and historic architecture while touring the village. Together with the church complex, it adds a second, distinct dimension to the cultural character of your stay.

Forest Educational Trail by Svatý Jan Pond

The Vojkov Forest Educational Trail runs by Svatý Jan Pond. A stone labyrinth is one of the play elements along the route. In addition to its focus on nature, this gives the educational trail a playful aspect that is particularly interesting on a shared outing with children. The pond itself has a romantic island in its centre, adding a striking landscape detail to your exploration of the village. The first and only information board on the Vojkov Forest Educational Trail is located near the Chapel of St. John. For orientation purposes, this documents a specific information point along the route, while the stone labyrinth and the island offer different perspectives on the same outing.

Route and Wine Tastings

Vojkov also offers a point of interest for trip planning with a fixed destination: the Bystřice–Prčice route passes through Vojkov, where the second checkpoint is located. Regular wine tastings take place in the Vojkov granary.
