Sentice – Valley, Forested Slopes and Special Local Details

Sentice between the Valley and Views of the Svratka

Sentice lies in the Boskovická brázda, in a valley running from northeast to southwest. The forested slopes around the village belong to the hills of the Brno Massif, while Sentice offers beautiful views of the Svratka River. The village therefore combines a clearly recognizable landscape character with small cultural attractions that gradually reveal themselves as you explore them. If you are looking for accommodation in Sentice, you can therefore tailor your stay to different interests: landscapes and views, the landmarks in the village center, or an active circuit on Horka.

Chapel and Stone Landmarks in the Village

In the center of Sentice stands the Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk. It was established in 1878 as a Roman Catholic church and thus serves as an important point of reference for finding your way around the village. The statue of Saint Florian is also part of the visible local history. The free-standing sandstone sculpture is approximately 3.5 meters high and is protected as a monument. The year 1766 is shown on the pedestal beneath the inscription; this detail was noted during a 1971 inspection.

Another statue of Saint John of Nepomuk is surrounded by an ornamental wrought-iron fence approximately one meter high. Differences such as these – a free-standing, protected sandstone figure on the one hand and an enclosed statue on the other – provide concrete points of reference during a walk through Sentice. You will see not just a single sacred building, but several independent details of the village’s history.

Exercise on Horka

For an active break during your visit to the village, there is the Fit stezka na Horce. The circuit is approximately 0.5 kilometers long and includes nine exercise stations. It is located near the forest playground on Horka. The short route creates a different focus from visiting the chapel or monuments: instead of individual historical points, it centers on physical activity in a wooded area. For families who want to combine different paces during their stay, this makes it possible to complement a cultural visit to the village with a manageable activity without turning it into a long route.

Sentické medové pivo Kvasar

Sentické medové pivo Kvasar is part of Sentice’s distinctive flavor profile. It is brewed using traditional bottom fermentation. During maturation, real bee honey is added to the 15° and 13° varieties using a cold process. At Sentice 219, PIVO KVASAR s.r.o. sells the entire range at the producer’s prices. It is open Monday to Friday, except on public holidays, from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

A Festive Glimpse into Local Life

An example of the village’s event life that has already taken place was Krojované a Babské hody, held from May 15 to 17, 2026. During the event, a festive procession of people in traditional costumes made its way from the Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk to the Sokolovna. The documented program connects a central local landmark with a public celebration, complementing the quieter impressions of the landscape, chapel and monuments with a communal occasion.
