Discover Kulirov: Landscape and Village Culture

If you are considering Kulířov as a destination in the Czech Republic, you will find a place here in the gently hilly terrain of the Drahanská vrchovina, about 14 km northwest of Vyškov. The municipality lies on the boundary between the two bioregions of Moravský kras and Drahanská vrchovina. The cadastral area consists predominantly of arable land, with meadows and pastures making up a smaller proportion; there is forest only in the southeast of the cadastral area. As a result, Kulířov is characterised as a rural settlement with clear ties to the landscape, village life and regional culture.

Water, Fields and a Protected Tree

The Kulířovský potok flows through the built-up area of Kulířov. Three smaller water reservoirs are located along this stream within the built-up area. A lime tree protected as a natural monument also grows on the eastern edge of Kulířov. A bus turning loop is located on the eastern edge of the built-up area. These specific points give you an impression of the village layout when finding your way around, without Kulířov losing its rural character.
