Kotvrdovice

Located on the edge of the Moravian Karst, Kotvrdovice combines natural surroundings, local history and lively events. Those looking for accommodation in Kotvrdovice will find not just an interchangeable base, but a place with its own cultural connections, active leisure opportunities and traditional festivals. When planning your trip, it is therefore worth considering first whether you would like to shape your stay primarily around regional culture, cycling, events or special experiences.

Culture and history in the village

A permanent cultural landmark is the Chapel of the Sacred Heart of the Lord. It was consecrated on 30 August 1942. The chapel houses the altar painting “Sacred Heart” by Mikoláš Medek. Thus, in addition to its natural connection with the Moravian Karst, Kotvrdovice also offers a specific place for a cultural and historical discovery. The local traditions also include the krojované hody, a traditional costumed feast. The local chasa revived this tradition in 2009. Those who wish to experience regional customs not only in museums but as part of village life will find this a special reason to take the event dates into account when planning their trip.

Cycling route, scenic flights and horseback rides

The sport airfield offers an active perspective on Kotvrdovice. An active flying club operates there, and scenic flights can be arranged. This distinguishes the village from a destination intended solely for sightseeing: in addition to walks and excursions on the ground, it is also possible to see the area from the air if you arrange a scenic flight. Since 2009, a popular cycling route has connected Kotvrdovice with Jedovnice. This specific connection may be important when choosing your accommodation if you would like to make a cycling trip the focus of your journey. In addition, those interested can arrange horseback rides with Ms Mergeščíková. This brings different forms of transportation together in Kotvrdovice, without limiting the village to a single type of excursion. Hiking is also documented in local club life: the KČT Kotvrdovice local branch organized the 44th Krajem pod Kojálem hiking march. This event is part of the history of the local hiking tradition and shows another way to explore the landscape surrounding the village.

Festivals with their own character

During Masopust, the programme includes a costumed procession through the municipality accompanied by music from Olšověnka. This is followed by an evening dance and the traditional burial of the double bass. The sequence makes clear that this is not merely a single programme item, but an entire tradition passed down with music, a procession and an evening event. Another example is the Kotvrdovské pálení čarodějnic in April 2025. The programme at that time included children's competitions, face painting for children, a snake show and a bonfire. This information relates to the event in April 2025 and is not a statement about a future programme. Kotvrdovice also has an unusual culinary event: the annual food competition “Utopenec Open” takes place at the TŘI SUDY Kotvrdovice airfield. For further searches within the same selection, you can also choose Skalice Nad Svitavou, Jabloňany, Drnovice U Lysic, Zbraslavec, Němčice, Olešnice Na Moravě, Újezd U Boskovic and Kunštát.
