Víceměřice – Educational Trail, History and Views

Víceměřice brings together archaeology, nature observation, local history and cycling within a compact thematic area. The educational trail leads through the landscape, historic sites provide insight into the past, and the Kozlov Viewpoint opens up a view towards the Hostýnské vrchy.

Educational Trail, Svodnice and the Kratiny Archaeological Site

The Víceměřice educational trail is 4.5 km long and has six stations. Its fifth information panel presents the animal and plant life found in Svodnice. Another information panel is devoted to the Kratiny archaeological site. Kratiny is a La Tène-period open settlement as well as a production and distribution centre of supraregional importance. The educational trail thus combines nature-related themes with a specific look at the area's early settlement and economic importance.

Cyclists can also include Víceměřice in a signposted excursion idea: the “Excursion to the Sights and Nature of the Prostějovsko Region” cycle route passes through Víceměřice. For your planning, this provides both the six stations of the local educational trail and a longer thematic cycling connection, without the two options conveying the same information. The six stations give the 4.5-kilometre circular walk a clear thematic structure. The route length and number of stations provide a clear basis for fitting the walk into your daily itinerary. Those who prefer to travel by bicycle will find a second way of getting around with the cycle route, which combines sights and nature in the same excursion.

View from the Kozlov Viewpoint

The Kozlov Viewpoint is located on Kozlov Hill above Víceměřice at an elevation of 251 metres above sea level. The Kozlov Viewpoint offers a view towards the Hostýnské vrchy.

Chateau and Museums: History in the Village

Víceměřice Chateau originated from a 16th-century Renaissance fortress. The Museum of Life Víceměřice offers another way of exploring the past. It documents life from the 1930s to the 1990s and contains more than 3,000 large and small everyday objects. The Víceměřice Museum also has an exhibition on the history of individual houses in Víceměřice. At the museum, local history can be viewed from two perspectives through everyday life and individual houses. The historical themes therefore range from a Renaissance fortress and everyday life over several decades to the development of individual buildings.

Cultural Events and the Chapel of St Florian

Balls and other cultural events are regularly held in Víceměřice, organised by local associations in cooperation with the municipal office. The Chapel of St Florian can be visited by prior arrangement as part of a tour lasting approximately 30 minutes. When choosing your accommodation and planning your stay, you can therefore distinguish between the educational trail and landscape, archaeological and local history, and organised cultural events.
