The building adds a second historical layer: the former community hall, now the Obecní dům, was built in 1925 by the Germans from Rostěnice.

Routes and landscape

There are no marked hiking or cycling routes in Rostěnice-Zvonovice or the immediate surrounding area, and no plans to establish any. If you are looking for a marked route, take this local situation into account when planning your trip.

For cycling between the districts and neighboring settlements, local plans provide for Class III roads, local roads, and, where applicable, service roads. The distinction is important for your plans: these types of roads are intended for cycling, while marked routes are absent. Before setting out, check current route conditions, road conditions, and signage.

For residents’ everyday recreation, easily accessible stream floodplains and the areas around ponds are particularly intended. The landscape around the protected area in Rostěnice includes a green space and a flowing stream. This brings local natural features into focus alongside the cultural themes.

When choosing accommodation, it helps to consider the main reason for your visit: the exhibition and architectural history are specific points of interest for culture enthusiasts. Those planning primarily cycling or hiking trips should instead take into account the lack of marked routes and the types of roads intended for cycling.
