Discover Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou

Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou combines historic buildings, a rehabilitation centre with an indoor pool, a variety of sports facilities and the fertile plains of the Dyje-Svratka Valley. The town lies on the eastern edge of the Znojmo District, offering a stay where culture, exercise, relaxation and rural landscapes come together in various ways.

Historic traces in the townscape

The late Baroque Church of St. Stephen, built in 1758, stands on a hill and is considered an important historic building as well as a landmark of Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou. The church includes a crypt belonging to the Althann family. In addition to its prominent location, the building therefore has a specific historical connection that contributes to an understanding of the town’s past when exploring the area. The market square also preserves a historic detail: the sculpture group of the Holy Trinity has defined it since 1711. Another noteworthy monument is the grave of Max Dvořák. It lies beside the cemetery wall and bears a wrought and embossed Rococo metal cross. Such individual stops make a visit to the town more varied, as they reveal not only major buildings but also smaller traces of art and cultural history. Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou Château is a three-winged Neoclassical building with an early Baroque core set in a park. At the same time, it is not open to the public. The château therefore cannot be planned as a public sightseeing destination; its architectural design and location in the park nevertheless remain among the defining features of the town.

Indoor pool, sauna and sports

The rehabilitation centre with an indoor pool in Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou caters, through its documented facilities, to various forms of exercise and relaxation. The stainless-steel pool has four water attractions. Individual swimming, group swimming and aqua fitness are offered. People with reduced mobility can use step-free access to the pool as well as appropriate equipment. The centre also includes a sauna with a relaxation room containing seating and loungers. A tropical-rain experience shower is available there for cooling off. The individual areas therefore have clearly distinct functions: water activities are the focus in the indoor pool, while the sauna and relaxation room form a separate area for rest and recuperation. Another option for sporting activities is provided by Sportovní hala Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou. The multipurpose facility comprises three halls of different sizes and with different sports flooring. At the associated Venkovní fit park, you will find outdoor training equipment such as horizontal bars, parallel bars, a stationary bicycle and a rowing machine. This makes it possible to combine cultural sightseeing with sporting activities and time spent in the countryside, without requiring all interests to centre on the same activity.

Landscape and local festival culture

Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou is surrounded by the fertile plains of the Dyje-Svratka Valley. These are suitable for growing sugar beet and grapevines and give the surroundings a distinctly agricultural character. Those who, when choosing a place to stay, want to experience not only historic sights but also open landscapes and regional land use will find a clear contrast here to the enclosed townscape of the buildings. The most important cultural events in Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou include the Hrušovanské slavnosti. They complement the historic sites that are present year-round with a focal event of local culture. For your travel planning, this means that, depending on your preferred focus, you can discover the town through its buildings, sports and recreational facilities, agriculturally shaped surroundings or cultural events.
