Zlonín: Traditions, nature trail and golf

Zlonín offers several distinct points of interest for a stay: the town’s history includes a granite memorial plaque unveiled in 1931, the nature trail is named “Zlonička,” and traditional events such as Masopust and Christmas markets showcase local customs. Golf and the Komunitní centrum add sporting and cultural leisure activities to the mix.

History and local events

On June 15, 1931, a granite memorial plaque to residents who fell in the First World War was ceremonially unveiled at the opening of the municipal office during the Zlonín pilgrimage. It was funded through a collection initiated by residents. Its creation connects remembrance of the fallen with community engagement. The occasion, which brought together the opening of the municipal office and the pilgrimage, gives the unveiling a specific local context.

The Zlonín Masopust is one of the traditional local events. A procession of masked participants moves through Zlonín; you can take part in costume, host participants, or watch. This offers ways to participate ranging from joining in actively to observing the procession. Christmas markets are also among Zlonín’s traditional events. If you are planning your stay around a particular festival, check the date of that year’s event; the Masopust date varies from year to year.

Nature trail, golf and leisure

The Zlonín Nature Trail was ceremonially opened on April 26, 2025; its first section is named “Zlonička.” The two dates—1931 and 2025—place the historical commemoration and the nature trail in different periods. Remembrance of the fallen and the trail, opened later, offer two distinct themes to consider when planning your trip.

At Golf Zlonín, beginners and children can learn the basic rules of golf and golf etiquette. Etiquette covers conduct on the course and complements the rules of the game. Course features include sand bunkers, planted areas and an unusual stone feature, considered a “river.” This means that learning the rules and etiquette and the course’s design offer two different points of interest. If you are travelling with children and considering golf, the opportunity to learn is a specific factor to weigh against your interests.

The Komunitní centrum Zlonín offers sporting and cultural leisure activities. Compared with the golf course, it caters to a broader range of interests, combining sport and culture. This comparison can help you choose the focus of your stay: golf represents a specific sport, while the centre brings together sporting and cultural leisure activities.

Choosing accommodation based on your reason for travelling

For a stay centred on Masopust, the date of the event, which changes each year, determines when to travel. For golf and the Komunitní centrum, by contrast, the focus depends on your interest in the game, course design, sport or culture. So when looking for a hotel, first decide whether your stay is tied to an event or whether you would rather plan it around a leisure interest.
