Starry Skies and the Nature of the White Carpathians

Hvězdárna Veselí organizes evening programs for the public, focusing primarily on observing the night sky. As a specialized cultural institution, it also provides education and promotes astronomy as well as related natural and technical sciences. Lectures and observations of the night sky make it a distinct program option for an evening in Veselí nad Moravou.

Another focus is the Dům přírody Bílých Karpat. The modern visitor center for the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area is located in Veselí nad Moravou and offers nature excursions into the White Carpathians and the Pomoraví region. This gives you direct access to the landscape themes that extend beyond the town.

Park, Castle Grounds and Baroque Cultural Heritage

Park u zámku is a landscaped park and part of the castle grounds of Veselí nad Moravou. One of its distinctive features is a restored music pavilion from the second quarter of the 19th century, known as Orchestra. The part of the park beyond the Morava River can be reached via a cast-iron pedestrian bridge dating from 1911. The bridge was once part of a narrow-gauge railway and thus also preserves a historic trace of transport infrastructure.

The Church of the Holy Guardian Angels and the Servite Monastery are also part of the town's history. Together, they form an important Baroque architectural monument in Veselí nad Moravou. The church is open to visitors from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; guided tours are offered there from June to September.

Museum, Baťův kanál and Regional Wine Tradition

Městské muzeum Veselí nad Moravou presents archaeological, historical and ethnographic collections from the surroundings of Veselí nad Moravou and from Horňácko. Another point of reference is Panský dvůr. It houses the Veselsko Tourist Information Center, the Baťův kanál Gallery, the town gallery, an exhibition of historic bicycles, facilities for cycle tourism and a Family Point.

Anyone wishing to explore Veselí nad Moravou by bicycle will find a cycle path along the Baťův kanál that runs mostly on paved paths. The ports along the Baťův kanál offer services for cyclists. This makes the canal a clearly identifiable theme for planning a day trip, without allowing specific travel times or a particular route to be inferred.

In Zarazice, a district of Veselí nad Moravou, Zarazické vinařství organizes wine tastings in its wine cellar. At the same time, it continues a winemaking and wine-growing tradition there that is now in its fourth family generation. This connection to local wine production complements the cultural and landscape impressions with a regional tradition.
