The Chapel of Saint Theresia brings together several tangible aspects of Kostice: it stands at a crossroads on the routes towards Břeclav, Lanžhot and Tvrdonice, and its history dates back to the 19th century. Other highlights include a flat cycling route along the Morava River, fishing events at Kostický rybník and a long-standing music and motorcycle event. When planning your trip, it is therefore worth considering the time of year: the chapels tell the story of the town, while the events and dishes are seasonal. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Kostice, first match your planned dates to the activities that interest you.

The Morava Floodplain and Cycling Route

The eastern part of the Kostice cadastral area lies in the floodplain of the Morava River. This description applies to the eastern cadastral area. Another specific connection to the river is the regional cycling route from Břeclav to Hodonín: it is 31 km long, runs through flat terrain alongside the Morava and passes through Kostice. The floodplain describes the landscape of one part of the area, while the cycling route follows a clearly defined course between two named places. Those interested in the landscape and cycling can thus explore the surroundings from two different perspectives.

Chapels and Local History

The Chapel of Saint Theresia was built in 1857 and consecrated in 1861. Its construction and consecration can be understood as two separate milestones in its history. In 2021, it received a new ornamental pattern that decorates all four sides. The crossroads on the routes towards Břeclav, Lanžhot and Tvrdonice is also part of its specific location.

Other religious buildings tell different stories: the former Chapel of the Holy Cross was demolished in 1930 and rebuilt a little further away. The Balíkových Chapel stands on the border between Kostice and Lanžhot. The statue of Saint John of Nepomuk is also located near the Chapel of Saint Theresia. These sites are distinguished by both their individual histories and their locations.

Fishing and Seasonal Fish Dishes

Kostický rybník is a fishing water managed by the Kostice local branch of the Moravian Anglers’ Association. Twice a year, it hosts a spring and an autumn gathering for anglers and non-anglers. The gatherings are therefore explicitly open to both groups, while the pond remains a fishing water.

During the summer holidays, local residents and visitors from elsewhere can eat fried and smoked fish at the Rybářský výlet. This offering is therefore tied to a different time of year from the spring and autumn gatherings. Specific dates and dishes may change; check the details for the year of your trip if you plan to take part.

Events During Your Trip

Bahenní párty is a traditional three-day music and motorcycle event that has been held since 1995. Its format differs from the gatherings at the pond: here, the focus is on a multi-day event, while the seasonal dates and summer fish outing are the specific attractions at the pond. If you are planning your trip around a particular event date, programme or venue, check the details for the year in question.

The museum in the traditional folk house would like to take part in the “Víkend památkových domků” project, which traditionally takes place in early June. If you are planning your visit around this project, check whether participation has been announced for the date in question. This makes it easier to match Kostice’s different attractions—local history, river landscapes and seasonal events—to your own travel dates.
