A coin hoard of 1,200 coins is among the exhibits at the Farní muzeum Zábřeh; visits to the tower of the Church of St. Bartholomew are possible by prior arrangement. For a stay in Zábřeh, this offers a tangible cultural and historical perspective, complemented by a nature trail, a cycling route and a swimming centre. You can choose your destination based on whether the collection and architecture or physical activity are the deciding factors.

Cultural history in the museum and church

The Zábřeh Museum is located in Dům Pod Podloubím on the upper part of Masarykovo náměstí. The building is listed in the Czech Central Register of Immovable Cultural Monuments. This makes the building itself a cultural and historical landmark alongside the museum.

The Church of St. Bartholomew was built in the second half of the 18th century to plans by Domenico Martinelli on the site of the original church in Zábřeh. Its construction period, architect and location provide three distinct points of reference: the era, the design and the site's history. Visits to the tower, with its bells, and to the exhibition of the Farní muzeum Zábřeh are possible by prior arrangement.

The Farní muzeum Zábřeh features a lapidarium, a collection of historic liturgical objects, a coin hoard of 1,200 coins and an exhibition on the history of the church and its bells. The hoard is tangible in its specific number; the exhibition on the church and its bells broadens the perspective from individual objects to church history.

Nature trail and cycling route

The Welzlova naučná stezka starts at Zábřeh railway station; the Oborník pond is its third stop. The station thus marks the start of the nature trail, while Oborník is a later stop. The Ochutnej Moravu na kole route also starts and ends at Zábřeh railway station. By contrast, the cycling route starts and finishes at the same place, while the pond is named as the nature trail's third stop. This lets you distinguish the options by their format: a nature trail or a cycling route that returns to the station. There is a ČD bicycle rental service at the station; check its availability for your dates in advance.

Swimming indoors and outdoors

Plavecký areál Zábřeh swimming centre has a 25 × 15 metre indoor pool with six lanes. Outdoors, there is a 50-metre swimming and recreation area; a 60-metre waterslide also ends in a children's pool. The indoor pool has lanes for swimming; outside, the swimming and recreation area combines swimming and relaxation. If you want to include water-based activities in your stay, you can choose between the lanes, the outdoor area or the waterslide according to your interests.
