Chapel by Svatopluk Drápal - Sobulky, Czech Republic - Paintings Then and Now on Waymarking.com

The village of Sobulky is located five kilometres northwest of Kyjov, in the Kyjov wine region. It is situated in a deep valley on both sides of the Sobulský brook. The whole village is surrounded by beautiful nature in a combination of mixed forests, fields, vineyards and pastures. This harmonious natural composition, with a magnificent view of the whole southern and eastern part of the Kyjov region up to the White Carpathians and to Hodonin, including the southern part of the Chribý Mountains, is an attractive place for lovers of walking, hiking, cycling and in winter cross-country skiing. The surrounding hilly terrain offers visitors beautiful views not only of the entire valley in which the village of Sobulky is located, but also of the wider surroundings.

The chapel was built by joining and rebuilding an older bell tower and a nearby granary. Near the chapel there is a wooden cross from 1871 and a baroque statue of St. John of Nepomuk from 1721.
