Discover Tvrdonice

Tvrdonice combines a distinctive floodplain landscape with regional culture and routes crossing the border. The eastern part of the village is particularly characteristic, as it is largely covered by floodplain forest. 240 bird species have been recorded in the Soutok-Tvrdonicko area. It serves birds as a breeding, wintering and migration stopover area. This makes the village especially suitable if you want to combine nature observation, cycling and lively traditions into a varied stay. The natural landscape includes both the eastern floodplain forest and the protected area with its old river branches, meadows, wetlands and ponds.

Floodplain Landscape and Rare Habitats

The Stibůrkovská jezera form a distinct natural area. The nature reserve protects old river branches of the Kyjovka, preserved meadow and wetland vegetation, small ponds and fragments of floodplain forest. The old river branches, meadows, wetlands, ponds and forest fragments represent different aquatic, open-land and floodplain forest habitats. These different habitats provide refuge for rare plant and animal species. The location is also interesting for orientation: You can reach the nature reserve via a turn-off before the entrance to Tvrdonice. This allows you to regard the nature experience and the visit to the village as two clearly distinct destinations within your exploration.

Cycling Routes with Different Destinations

For arrival or a tour by bicycle, a marked turn-off from cycling route 43A leads through the floodplain forest to Tvrdonice. Another popular route leads from Tvrdonice to the neighboring Slovak village of Moravský Svätý Ján. These two details describe different directions: Cycling route 43A leads through the floodplain forest into the village, while the popular route from Tvrdonice to Moravský Svätý Ján continues across the border. Depending on your preferred focus, you can therefore choose between a journey through the floodplain landscape and a cross-border connection.

Folk Culture in the Ethnographic Complex

The local history of construction and exhibitions is also part of Tvrdonice's character. The Slovácká chalupa in the ethnographic complex of Tvrdonice was inspired by a house from Tvrdonice that had been built in 1895 for the National Ethnographic Exhibition in Prague. The specific connection to a house from the village links local heritage with a historical exhibition context in the Czech capital.

Event Venues and Local Traditions

The public face of the village also includes the amphitheater in Tvrdonice, which can be rented. The amphitheater complements the natural areas and cycling routes with a rentable event venue. The Tvrdonské krojované hody have a fixed place in the local annual calendar: They take place at the beginning of August and are part of Tvrdonice's local traditions. This date is therefore a separate cultural reference point for determining the timing of a stay, independent of the nature and cycling routes.
