When choosing a stay in Mokré Lazce, church history, community life and sport offer different points of interest. The Mokré Lazce–Lipovice paleontological site provides a distinct focus. When deciding where to stay, you can therefore consider whether you are particularly interested in cultural history, the local community, sporting activities or paleontological significance.

Churches and Local History

The Church of St John the Baptist in Mokré Lazce is a protected cultural monument. In the 16th century, the Tvorkovští had a wooden church built in Mokré Lazce and placed it under the administration of the Dominican Order. The Chapel of St Anne is a small Baroque chapel dating from 1747; it is located on a street within the built-up area. These details offer different historical perspectives: the protected status of the Church of St John, the construction and administration of a wooden church, and the style, date and location of the chapel.

On 7 June 2024, the parish of Mokré Lazce took part in the Night of Churches. The programme at the local Church of St John the Baptist included, among other things, an exhibition on the history of the church and parish, a musical performance and an interactive programme for children. The date places this programme at a specific past event. If a similar church programme is relevant to your trip, check the dates for your travel period.

Community and Sport

Areál Na skalách serves as a meeting place for locals and people from the surrounding area. A maypole is traditionally raised there, and the site also hosts official events and informal gatherings. Unlike the church buildings, the focus here is on community use. The best way to reach the site from the village is through a pedestrian tunnel.

Another perspective is the sporting profile of Lyžařský klub Mokré Lazce. The club offers competitive and recreational activities in cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, road cycling, mountain biking and recreational tourism. It organises road cycling and mountain bike races. Its range of activities therefore spans winter sports, various forms of cycling and recreational tourism. If you would like to take part in club activities, check the specific participation requirements in advance, as they may change.

The Mokré Lazce–Lipovice Site

The Mokré Lazce–Lipovice site is of paleontological significance: the holotype of a trigonotarbid arachnid was found there. It is also where the oldest fossil of a terrestrial animal discovered in what is now the Czech Republic was found. The only access route to the site is heavily covered in debris and very overgrown. Check the conditions on site before attempting to access it.
