Discover Němčany

Němčany combines a landscape along a stream with remarkable natural sites and traces of regional history. Those looking for a place with a rural character, special plant habitats, and cultural discoveries will find several different points of interest here. Choosing accommodation in Němčany is particularly suitable for trips that combine nature observation, history, and peaceful excursions.

Landscape Between the Stream and Dry Grasslands

Němčany stretches along the Němčanský potok at the foothills of the Drahanská vrchovina. The Mrazový klín northwest of Němčany near Lutršték provides a distinctive feature in the landscape. It is an unusually large example of soil weathering, exposed in the wall of a sand quarry. The site therefore represents not only green surroundings but also a geologically interesting feature.

For nature enthusiasts, the areas of Volkramy are also among the notable destinations. They consist predominantly of broad-leaved dry grasslands that locally transition into sub-Pannonian steppe grasslands, and they are home to several important plant species. Particularly noteworthy is the thriving and numerous population of the large-flowered pasque flower (Pulsatilla grandis). The different plant communities make it clear that nature experiences around Němčany are not limited to a single type of landscape.

Návdavky u Němčan Natural Monument

Návdavky u Němčan is a natural monument protecting thermophilous Pontic-Pannonian plant communities and free-living animals, particularly amphibians. Its location is clearly described for orientation: The area lies about 500 meters south of Němčany and is marked by three signs bearing the national coat of arms. Návdavky u Němčan lies south of Němčany; Lutršték and the Mrazový klín are located northwest of the village.

Pilgrimage Site, Chapel, and Local History

The Lutršték pilgrimage site lies northwest of Němčany on Vinohrady Hill. It includes the Chapel of Panny Marie Sedmibolestné, built near a spring between 1867 and 1877. Together with the Mrazový klín, Lutršték thus forms a distinct cultural and landscape point of interest, different from the Návdavky u Němčan Natural Monument and the Volkramy dry grasslands.

Němčany itself also has historical monuments. The Chapel of sv. Antonína Paduánského is a valuable example of Baroque church architecture from the late 17th century. It was restored in 1731 and expanded in 1872 with a side sacristy. In addition, the Němčany Museum preserves material, written, and photographic evidence of the municipality's historical development. Families and other travelers can thus enjoy a varied combination of visible architectural history and local commemorative culture.

An Excursion with a Historical Connection

The Jezdecký klub – stáje Němčany offers individuals and groups recreational horseback rides with historical commentary on the battlefield near Slavkov. This activity complements the village's natural and cultural themes with a special way of exploring the landscape: The ride combines an outdoor experience with explanations of the battlefield's history. When choosing accommodation in Němčany, you can therefore focus on different aspects, from botanical discoveries and local architectural monuments to pilgrimage history and a historically oriented recreational experience.
