Štěpánkovice: Hilly Landscape with Expansive Views

Štěpánkovice lies in the Hlučín Hilly Land, in a gently rolling landscape on the northern foothills of the last spurs of the Nízký Jeseník Mountains. From elevated locations around the village, views extend towards the Beskids and the Jeseníky Mountains. Štěpánkovice therefore presents itself as a destination for travellers who want to combine landscape, local culture and active pursuits when choosing where to stay. For families, the combination of activities, regional traditions and a compact village setting may be particularly appealing.

Church of St. Catherine and Local Culture

A prominent cultural landmark is the Church of St. Catherine. It was built in 1756 on the site of an earlier wooden structure and is a single-nave Baroque building with a three-sided-closed presbytery. A single-nave church interior has only one main nave. The presbytery is the area associated with the altar. Saint Catherine of Alexandria is the patron saint of the church and parish in Štěpánkovice. Those interested in historic buildings will therefore find here not only a construction date, but also a religious tradition closely connected with the village.

The cultural life also includes successful ethnographic ensembles; in the past, Štěpánkovice also had amateur theatre. Den Obce Štěpánkovice is a traditional event for all age groups, featuring an extensive cultural and sports programme. The Gardeners' Association also contributes to local traditions: it organises popular exhibitions of fruit, vegetables and flowers, accompanied by a thanksgiving mass for the harvest. Albertovec is part of the Štěpánkovice municipality and began serving as a stud farm in 1952.

Sports and Experiences in the Village

The public sports complex on the school grounds brings together numerous facilities: these include tennis, nohejbal and volleyball courts, a football pitch, beach volleyball, a practice tennis wall, fire brigade sports and a running track. Nohejbal is a ball game in which the ball is played over a net using the foot. There is also a sports equipment rental service. For a stay in which you want to combine different activities without committing to a particular theme, this complex offers several concrete options.

The suitable terrain around Štěpánkovice also enables active cycling tourism. During the Štěpánkovický kros 2026, tourists were invited to a walk starting at 9 a.m. This event detail explicitly applies to the 2026 edition and does not describe a general scheduling rule for future years.

Choosing the Location, Connections and Dining

Štěpánkovice has very good train and bus connections to Opava. This is a relevant consideration if, when looking for accommodation, you want to take into account not only the character of the village but also connections to another destination. For dining, the Na Statku restaurant in Štěpánkovice provides an option.
