Dolní Nětčice: Chapel, Film Museum and Cycle Route 6137

Dolní Nětčice combines cultural and historical traces, film technology and cycling connections with its own local traditions. If you would like to combine a stay with history, moving images and cycling, you will find several specific points of interest here to help plan your trip.

Chapel and Memorial Sites in the Village

In the village centre stands the Chapel of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, which dates from 1902. Masses are celebrated in the chapel. A statue of the Virgin Mary has stood in the park next to the chapel since July 1969; another statue of the Virgin Mary dates from 1909. These dates make the chapel and its surroundings a place where religious history and local memory meet directly.

At the lower end of the municipality stands the memorial to those who fell in the First World War. It was erected in 1921 and renovated in 1956. Another historic landmark stands on the road from Dolní Nětčice to Rakov: the Kříž u Gadasovýho cross is located on the right-hand side of the road and dates from 1898. This gives you a circular walk through different forms of remembrance, without the individual stops telling the same story.

Film Museum with Engaging Technological History

The Dolní Nětčice Film Museum was established in the municipal office building, with an exhibition of cameras and photographic equipment. It illustrates the history of the development of photography and film. On site, you can watch films on touchscreens and transfer recordings to a large-screen projection. The interplay between historic equipment and digital presentation is a distinctive part of the visit, especially when exploring together.

Cycling through Dolní Nětčice

Cycle Route 6137 runs through the centre of Dolní Nětčice and leads from Helfštýn Castle to Bystřice pod Hostýnem. In the forest above the village, Cycle Route 6137 connects to the Jantarová stezka. The route links the village centre with a trail between Helfštýn Castle and Bystřice pod Hostýnem and supplements this connection with a link to another marked route. This allows you to combine a visit to the chapel and film museum with cycling during the same stay. The village centre forms the cultural part of your stay, while the forest section marks the transition to the Jantarová stezka. This leaves you free to choose different priorities when planning your day, without having to think of culture and active pursuits as separate activities. When choosing accommodation, this connection is particularly interesting if you would like to include cycling alongside local history.

Traditions and Landscape

Every year at the beginning of May, Dolní Nětčice commemorates the tragic events of the war in 1945. The volunteer fire brigade SDH Dolní Nětčice also organises the Vodění medvěda carnival tradition in the municipality. The Dolnonětčický potok stream provides a landscape reference point: it flows through the entire municipality and rises below Maleník Hill. The stream complements the memorial sites and carnival tradition with a connection to nature that extends throughout the municipality.

You should check the specific features, prices and availability of individual hotels separately in each case.
