Vítkov offers a range of themes for a stay: two churches with their own histories, occasional exhibitions, a nature trail and a cycling route. Adventure Golf and the nearby Vítkovský Balaton are additional options. If you are looking for accommodation in Vítkov, you can start by considering whether culture, a walk through the countryside or leisure activities will shape your stay. The following options can be grouped according to these interests, without turning them into a fixed itinerary.

Churches, history and exhibitions

The parish Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is Neo-Gothic and was built between 1910 and 1914. It is also known as the “Vítkov Cathedral” and was built from local stone. According to local oral tradition, a spring emerged while the foundations were being dug; it is still active today. The cemetery Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is much older, dating from 1625. The historical references of the two churches thus span the 17th century to the early 20th century. At present, the parish church hosts midnight Masses during the Christmas holidays, as well as concerts of classical and sacred music. As schedules may change, check the dates before your visit.

The Vítkov Town Museum has no permanent exhibition. Occasional exhibitions are held in a newly renovated exhibition hall on the first floor of the cultural centre. The hall is not wheelchair accessible. If an exhibition is important to your visit, check in advance whether one is taking place during your trip.

Nature trail, cycling route and places to visit

For a walking trip, the Dědictví břidlice nature trail through Zálužné is about 7 km long. It has 16 stops, a total of 22 information panels and 3 rest areas. The Okolo Moravice cycling route is another excursion option: it runs through the picturesque valley of the Moravice River in Moravice Nature Park. This gives you a choice between a nature trail with marked stops and rest areas, and a cycling route through the valley and nature park. As route infrastructure may change, check the latest information about the nature trail before your trip.

Vítkovský Balaton is an artificial reservoir on the Kamenský potok stream. It is located approximately 2 km beyond Vítkov on the road to Kamenka. Fishing is possible at the reservoir, and mushrooms can be picked in the surrounding forests. If you would like to include either of these activities in your trip, check the local conditions on site.

More leisure options and finding accommodation

Adventure Golf Vítkov offers 18 themed holes for children and adults. This provides a different kind of leisure activity alongside the churches and routes. For cycling enthusiasts, the information centre in Vítkov is also relevant: it is certified as part of the Cyklisté vítáni system. If you plan to visit the centre, check the latest information about visitor services.

Tailor your search to what you are most likely to do during your trip.
