Makov – Nature Park, Views and Cultural Discoveries

Makov between a forest settlement and rocky ridges

Makov is considered a forest settlement in a valley between two rocky ridges. As a result, the village combines a clearly recognizable landscape with cultural features and unusual locations from the Czech television series world. If you are looking for a hotel in Makov, you will find starting points here for different ways of discovering the village: from a viewpoint and its inclusion in a nature park to a chapel with a history of its own.

Landscape in Halasovo Kunštátsko Nature Park

Part of Makov’s cadastral area lies within Halasovo Kunštátsko Nature Park. For understanding the village’s landscape setting, this relationship is more important than a blanket designation of the entire surrounding area: the nature park does not automatically cover the whole cadastral area, but only part of it. Halasovo Kunštátsko Nature Park was designated in 1980 and amended in 1994. If you pay particular attention to a landscape-oriented setting when choosing accommodation, this precise delineation provides helpful guidance for your further research.

Panoramic views from Křivánčí vrch

A prominent point of reference near Makov is Křivánčí vrch. It is described as an excursion mountain offering panoramic views of the surrounding area. In clear weather, Praděd, the Drahanská vrchovina highlands and the Kojál transmitter can also be seen from there. These three visible destinations represent different ways of orienting yourself in the landscape: Praděd is a distinctive individual mountain, the Drahanská vrchovina refers to a highland area, and the Kojál transmitter adds a technical accent. Thus, alongside the general panorama, the viewpoint offers several specific names that you can use to guide your exploration.

Chapel and cultural traces

The village is home to the Nejsvětější Trojice Chapel, which dates from 1857. The Nejsvětější trojice Chapel in Makov is designated as a cultural monument. In addition, the Makovská kaple bears the title “Roof of the Year 1997.” A stay in Makov therefore offers a cultural focus that is not based solely on a year: both the construction date of 1857 and the designation as a cultural monument, as well as the special title from 1997, have been preserved in the record. Those interested in smaller historic buildings and local features will find a specific point of interest here away from major cities.

Cycling tour and unusual series locations

A longer cycling tour passes through Makov. The route from Rozseč via Makov and Petrov back to Kunštát is considered a full-day route. Kunštát is both the starting point and the destination; Rozseč, Makov and Petrov lie along the route.

There is also a special local connection to the series “Četnické humoresky.” The scene “Před stavením” from the episode “Hypnotizér” is associated with house no. 15 in Makov. Another scene, “Vozidla před domem,” is associated with the road behind Makov in the direction of Sychotín in the Blansko District. These two details offer an unusual way of approaching the village: they connect a specific house number and a particular road direction with scenes from the same series, without reducing Makov to these film-related references.
