Wine routes, a late Baroque church and the Hody tradition give Brumovice several different reasons to visit. When choosing the town for a trip, you can first decide whether you want to focus on a route, local history or a festival.

Wine Routes and a Cycling Route through Brumovice

The 150-kilometre Velkopavlovická vinařská stezka runs through Brumovice. Its route passes through vineyards and streets lined with open wine cellars. Access to individual cellars may vary; also check the current route markings before setting out. The route thus connects wine country and cellar lanes, but this does not mean that individual cellars are always open.

The Moravská vinná stezka also runs through Brumovice. It forms the backbone of the Moravian wine-route network and passes through all the wine-growing regions of southeastern Moravia. This places the town in a broader regional context: the 150-kilometre Velkopavlovická Stezka is described by its length, while the Moravská vinná stezka is part of the wider network of routes.

There is also a cycling route called “Stezka Velkopavlovickem – krajem modrých hor”. It runs from Kobylí via Brumovice and Morkůvky to Klobouky. This sequence of towns gives you a concrete framework for planning your route. Before setting out, check the surface conditions and signage. The wine routes and cycling route offer different points of reference: one focuses on the wine region, the other on the named route between towns.

Church and Local History

The Church of Saint Anthony of Padua is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. This late Baroque, single-nave building was created in 1784 by enlarging an older Baroque chapel dating from 1716. The dates make the development of the church building clear: the church originated as an older chapel and took its later form through its enlargement. “Single-nave” describes a building with one nave.

The town’s history goes back further still: Brumovice is a settlement of colonial origin dating from the mid-13th century. Jan Herben provides another specific connection to local history: he was born in Brumovice on 7 May 1857. The settlement’s origins, the birthplace and the church building offer different perspectives on the town across time, from medieval development to 18th-century building history.

Hody as a Recurring Festival

The Hody in Brumovice include a costumed procession through the town. The Brumovická zavádka is also part of the tradition. A tasting of wine from Brumovice is also part of the Hody. These customs give the festival a clear local character: the procession, the named tradition and the wine tasting are connected as elements of the Hody, rather than being independent attractions.

The Hody are a recurring event, but the programme can vary from year to year. If you would like to plan your trip around the festival, check the dates for the relevant year. This makes planning a visit to the Hody different from exploring the town’s history and architecture or choosing a wine route: for the festival, the specific date matters.

Choosing Brumovice as a Destination

If you are looking for hotels for a stay in Brumovice, it helps to first decide what matters most to you: the wine routes, the cycling route, the history of the church or a visit to the Hody. The route through vineyards and cellar lanes, the regional role of the Moravská vinná stezka and the named cycling route offer different starting points for planning your trip. For a festival visit, take the dates, which vary each year, into account; access to individual wine cellars may vary. This lets you choose the town based on the topics you are actually interested in, rather than assuming that all the different options form a fixed programme.
