Výrovice: Water, Trails and Protected Nature

Výrovice combines a waterscape, traces of history and paths through protected nature to create a varied destination in Moravia. The Výrovická Reservoir represents a stay that combines relaxation with active days: it was originally built on the Jevišovka River between 1979 and 1983 as an irrigation reservoir and today serves mainly for recreation and fishing. Those looking for accommodation for a trip with different interests will therefore find several clearly distinct focal points here – from time by the water and walks to cultural and historical discoveries.

Water and landscape around Výrovice

The Výrovická Reservoir mostly has grassy, sandy beaches and gently sloping access to the water, making it particularly suitable for families with children. This allows a day by the water to be enjoyed in a different way from a purely hiking- or sightseeing-focused outing.

Near Výrovice lies the Výrovické kopce locality, designated as a natural monument, with views of the rocky Jevišovka Valley. Numerous protected plant and animal species occur in this locality. Part of the Výrovické kopce area belongs to the Natura 2000 system and has been a natural monument since 2013. This creates a clear landscape focus for planning your trip: alongside the water, the local experience also includes an area with designated nature and species protection.

Hiking and cycling with different route profiles

The Cyklookruh mikroregionem Moravia passes through Výrovice and connects all the municipalities in this association of municipalities. The name refers to a cycle path or cycling route in the microregion and makes the village interesting for visitors who would like to spend their days cycling. Another option is the red-marked hiking route, which partly follows the Jevišovka Valley. It complements the water-based character of the Výrovická Reservoir with a route focused on the valley and landscape.

For a more leisurely outing, there is a walking route from Výrovice to Tvořihráze. The route is level, passes through a forest and covers approximately 5 km there and back. This clear distinction between a level forest route, a red-marked hiking route through the Jevišovka Valley and the connecting Cyklookruh mikroregionem Moravia makes it easier to choose an itinerary for a stay at a varied pace.

Historical traces in the village

Even away from the water and trails, Výrovice has a small but tangible cultural highlight. The Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes has been registered as an immovable cultural monument since 1989. The Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes is also recorded on the 1829 cadastral map. Both details offer different perspectives on the history of the village: the map points to its documented presence in the 19th century, while its registration since 1989 records its status as a cultural monument.

Another historical sight is the arch bridge over the river. It was built from 1 September 1924 and completed in summer 1925. Together with the Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes, it forms a cultural counterpoint to the natural and water-based experiences. When choosing your accommodation in Výrovice, you can therefore weigh up a stay focused on water, nature, trails or local history, without the village being limited to just one type of holiday.
