Hroznová Lhota

Hroznová Lhota lies on the northern bank of the Velička River. The town combines a clearly recognizable historical character with events, a wine tradition and a signposted cycle route.

Church and Historical Traces

A prominent landmark is the Church of St. John the Baptist. It was built in 1654 and remodeled in the historicist style in 1902. The two construction phases are specific historical features of Hroznová Lhota and give a visit to the town a chronological framework that extends beyond a single year. The church thus combines a 17th-century building with a later remodeling in the historicist style; both phases shape the townscape. Anyone interested in architecture and organically evolved townscapes will find here a clearly defined starting point for their own exploration.

The Joža Uprka Studio House

A special story is associated with the studio house of Joža Uprka. In 1904, it was remodeled into a two-story villa based on a design by Dušan Jurkovič. Joža Uprka's villa was visited by Auguste Rodin; the Mrštík brothers, Zdenka Braunerová, Vítězslav Novák, Leoš Janáček and Hanuš Schweiger also met there.

For your planning, the access restriction is crucial: the villa is privately owned and is not open to the public. It should therefore not be planned as if it were a regularly open attraction. Its history can nevertheless be considered part of Hroznová Lhota's cultural profile, especially if you want to combine historical figures, architecture and regional culture.

Events and Local Traditions

The events calendar also offers specific points of interest. The Hroznolhotský ochotnický spolek Hrozen accepts bookings for theater performances. This is an opportunity to combine your stay with a performance, provided a suitable date works for your trip. At the Hroznolhotské hody, there is cimbalom music, brass music, dancing and festive specialties. The event thus represents a different form of visiting the town: the experience is shaped not by a single building but by music, movement and regional festive culture. The theater offering depends on specific dates, while the Hody bring together music, dance and specialties as part of a festival day.

The local wine tradition also includes the Velikonoční košt vína, a traditional Easter wine exhibition in Hroznová Lhota. Together with the festive specialties of the Hroznolhotské hody, it forms a distinct culinary and cultural focus. The Košt sets a different emphasis, as the wines themselves are the central reason for the event. If you choose your accommodation based on a specific occasion, these events and the relevant travel period are important points of reference.

Cycling Towards Veselí nad Moravou

For active days, a cycle path leads from Hroznová Lhota to Veselí nad Moravou and then continues along the Baťa Canal. The route thus combines a visit to the town with the onward journey along the canal. In this context, Hroznová Lhota is suitable as a starting point for a trip that brings local history, events and cycling together.
