Discover Újezd U Brna

Újezd U Brna is a destination for travelers who want to combine nature experiences, the history of technology and places of remembrance. With the Cesta přírodou nature trail, the town offers a clearly described circular route; with the PP Špice nature monument, a distinctive landscape feature; and with the Muzeum protivzdušné obrany (PVO), a collection of military technology. Historical sites that make different chapters of the region’s history visible round out the attractions. This creates a stay in which you can choose between activity, discovery and culture.

On foot along the Cesta přírodou

The Cesta přírodou nature trail begins and ends at the town hall in the center of Újezd u Brna. At approximately 6.5 kilometers in length, it offers a designated route for an extended walk through the surrounding area. Navigation follows a marked trail: the first section uses the green hiking trail marking, while the second follows the yellow marking. The beginning and end at the town hall give the route a clearly defined connection to the town. For your planning, this makes it clear above all where the walk starts and ends and which markings to look out for along the way.

Steppe flora at the PP Å pice nature monument

The PP Špice nature monument lies northeast of Újezd u Brna. It protects a site of steppe flora, particularly the Tatarian katran. This specific protected feature distinguishes the site from an ordinary walk through the countryside: the focus is not only on being outdoors, but also on a designated plant habitat with distinctive flora. PP Špice is therefore a separate natural attraction that you can take into account when choosing your excursion destinations.

Anti-aircraft technology and historical memories

The Muzeum protivzdušné obrany (PVO) in Újezd u Brna presents aircraft, radar and missile technology, as well as military equipment, the equipment of command posts and contemporary documents. Visitors can also look inside rooms that were previously inaccessible to the public. The museum thus combines technical objects with documentary and spatial insights into air defense.

The history of the Napoleonic era is also connected with the town. A cannon shot from the Chapel of Saint Anthony initiated the Battle of the Three Emperors on December 2, 1805. Another place of remembrance is the monument to the victims of the plane crash. It commemorates the crash of a passenger aircraft on October 10, 1962, in the cadastral area of Újezd u Brna. Both sites give historical events a specific place in the landscape.

Agricultural experiences in Rychmanov

An additional excursion option is Farma U Staré Hory in Rychmanov. A 800-meter-long farm trail begins there at the pasture behind the Protestant church. Farma U Staré Hory also offers guided walks with the farmer for groups of at least 10 children. Visitors can feed the animals with feed available there for a small fee. This location complements the natural and historical attractions with a direct insight into life on a farm.
