Konice combines a distinctive cultural offering at Zámek Konice with two cycling routes, each with a different focus. One route follows the Romže River and connects Konice with Prostějov; on the other, you can see three windmills along the way. If you’re looking for a holiday apartment in Konice, you can shape your stay around your cultural interests or the route that appeals to you.

Castle, Crafts and Brass Music

Zámek Konice is a Baroque castle with two gardens. The Muzeum řemesel Konicka is located inside the castle. It showcases traditional crafts, including milling, scale-making, blacksmithing, brewing and tailoring. The museum also has a collection of axes listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Castle tours are also offered at Zámek, which is home to an information centre.

The castle and museum offer different ways to explore Konice: the building is classified as a Baroque castle, while the exhibition focuses on crafts. Tours and an information centre at Zámek add to the experience. For a culture-focused stay, you can plan architecture, crafts and information as connected themes.

Music is also part of Konice: the Žváčkův festival of brass music is held there regularly. It honours composer Antonín Žváček, who was from Hanna. If you’d like to include the festival in your trip, check the dates for your intended travel period before setting your travel dates.

The Konicka Region and the Romže

The Konicka Region lies in a picturesque landscape of the gently rolling slopes of the Drahanské vrchovina. The Romže River flows through the region. This landscape and river form the regional setting for the Cyklostezka Romže, which follows the river and connects Konice with Prostějov.

The Cyklostezka Romže is an easy cycling route and runs mostly over flat terrain. Most sections are paved and away from roads; some stretches follow gravel or forest paths. These features are useful to consider together when planning: the route connects two towns, the terrain is mostly flat, and the surface changes on some sections.

Another option is the Za větrnými mlýny okolo Konice cycling route. It starts and ends in Konice. Along the way, you can see three windmills in Jednov, Přemyslovice and Hačky. These place names indicate where the windmills can be seen.

Two Cycling Routes, Different Focuses

There’s a clear difference to consider when choosing a route: the Cyklostezka Romže follows the river and connects Konice with Prostějov; information is also available about its terrain and surface. By contrast, the Za větrnými mlýny okolo Konice route starts and ends in Konice, and you can see three windmills along the way. This lets you weigh up whether the river route connecting two towns or the route that starts and ends in Konice and features windmills is the better fit for your stay.
