Zbyslavice offers several ways to plan a stay: nature trails with a focus on nature, hiking and cycling routes through the valley, and historical sites in the village. When choosing what to do, you can opt for exploring nature, a cycling route or local history—or combine these themes without planning a fixed order.

Nature Trails and Wetland

The Naučná stezka Zbyslavice comprises three trails, established since 2016 in cooperation with the Zbyslavice primary and kindergarten school. The Naučná stezka Dolní louky is just over one kilometre long. Its easy route is suitable for all age groups. Twelve information panels cover local plants and animals, including legally protected species. The length, route and panels provide practical guidance when planning a nature-themed walk.

The pond area on the Dolní louky includes a wetland retention basin, a water basin and two wetland pools. These different water features complement the topics covered by the information panels: the focus is not only on individual plant and animal species, but also on the wetland features of the surrounding area.

Valley, Hiking Trails and Cycling Route

The inhabited valley between the Sezina and Polančice streams lies in the Oder catchment area. Forests and meadows characterise the valley, which is also crossed by hiking and cycling routes. This provides a suitable setting for considering nature and exercise together when planning, without combining the different routes into a single one.

Cycling route 6191 runs from Bravantice through Olbramice and Zbyslavice to Údolí Setiny. It passes through wooded areas. This offers a different kind of orientation from the nature trail, which is just over one kilometre long: the cycling route names several places along its course, while the nature trail focuses on information panels about local flora and fauna.

Historical Traces in Zbyslavice

The former Tvrz Zbyslavice stood about 300 metres south of the village centre, on a hill above the Sezina valley. Part of the castle moat remains in the northern area of the former site. There are no visible wall remains at the Tvrz; the uneven terrain suggests that historical buildings once stood there. Evidence of the former site therefore comes from the surviving moat and the character of the terrain.

The Chapel of svatý Matouš is also part of the village’s history: it underwent extensive reconstruction. The small square by the chapel still served as a small village centre after the war. Together, the chapel and square point to both a reconstructed building and the former role of the nearby square in village life.

More Ways to Plan Your Stay

The Větrný mlýn na Vrchpolí windmill is a Dutch-type windmill. It stands on the cadastral boundary between the municipalities of Zbyslavice and Olbramice and is privately owned. You should therefore not assume that it is open to the public; check before visiting whether access is possible.

A recurring event in Zbyslavice is Den obce, held in mid-September every year. If you would like to plan your trip around this event, check the specific dates in advance.
