Dlažov

Dlažov combines a marked hiking trail, expansive views, and notable religious buildings to create a destination with a distinct character. The Svatá Markéta hill above Dlažov is particularly defining: here, nature, history, and a panorama that stretches across the landscape in several directions come together. The churches and chapels in Dlažov and Miletice also add a cultural dimension to a stay.

Hiking Trail to Rozhledna Markéta

A yellow-marked hiking route leads from the outskirts of Dlažov to Rozhledna Markéta. The route is approximately 2.6 kilometers long and has an elevation gain of 150 meters. It is therefore described as a specific connection between the village and the viewpoint, without having to assume additional sections of the route or walking times. Admission to Rozhledna Markéta is free.

From Rozhledna Markéta, the panoramic view extends to Čerchov in the west, Ostrý in the south, Doubrava in the north, and the Klatovská kotlina in the east. For travelers who want to combine nature with orientation in the landscape, this is the clearest focal point of the Dlažov experience. The Svatá Markéta hill above the village lies at an elevation of 642 meters above sea level. People have been coming to this hill for generations because of its impressive views and unspoiled nature.

Svatá Markéta and the Religious Buildings

The Svaté Markéty Chapel stands on the hill above Dlažov. It was built in 1886 and dedicated to Saint Margaret. In 1887, it was solemnly consecrated in the presence of 25 priests and with the large participation of people from the entire surrounding area. The chapel adds an explicitly historic and religious site to the landscape experience.

Dlažov itself also has a notable house of worship. The Church of “sv. Antonína Paduánského” is a simple 18th-century structure. The masonry of its nave—the longitudinally oriented main part of the church—preserves the original form of an earlier Marian chapel. Those who want to discover not only a viewpoint but also older architectural history during their stay will find here a detail that reaches beyond the building’s outward simplicity.

Miletice: Baroque Chapel and Frescoes

In Miletice, the Chapel of “sv. Jana Nepomuckého” was built in the Baroque style in 1760. Its restored frescoes depict, among other things, scenes from the life of Saint Joseph. The chapel was also renovated and blessed after the repair work. Miletice therefore offers its own cultural highlight alongside the landscape and viewpoint experiences around Dlažov.

Accommodation and Further Orientation

Dlažov is a particularly suitable reference point when the marked route to Rozhledna Markéta and the sights above or within the village are to shape your stay. This allows the trip to be conceptually organized around views, activity, and religious history without mixing up the different focal points.
