Voděrady combines wooded hills on the western edge of the municipality with cultural sites and local traditions. When looking for a holiday apartment, you can explore the village from several perspectives: its landscape, the cemetery church and its connection to the poet František Halas, or events whose dates and programmes may be relevant when planning your trip. These highlights differ in that some are features of the village, while others are experiences that depend on when you visit.
Wooded Hills in the West
The first rising wooded hills of the Českomoravská vrchovina form the western edge of the municipality of Voděrady. More precisely, they belong to the Kunštátská vysočina; Chlum, at 512 metres, is also a specific local landmark. This places the landscape clearly within the village’s profile: it refers to the wooded western side of the municipality and a named elevation. If you choose a destination for its landscape, you can weigh these details alongside Voděrady’s cultural and festive attractions.
Cemetery Church and Literary Remembrance
The cultural heritage includes the Baroque cemetery Church of the Holy Spirit. The cemetery is also the final resting place of the poet František Halas. Sacred architecture and literary remembrance thus come together in the same cemetery setting. For travellers interested in architecture or literary history, these are two specific points of interest. Together with the landscape, they offer a different way to experience the village than its events, which are tied to particular dates.
Traditions and Event Dates
Kácení máje is a long-standing tradition in Voděrady and takes place every year. The festival includes competitions for children; participants can also try out the firefighting equipment. At the traditional witch-burning event in the Pod Lesem area, participants can roast Špekáčky over two fires. Each festival has a distinct focus: children’s competitions and the chance to try out firefighting equipment at Kácení máje, and Špekáčky roasted over the fire at the witch-burning event. The exact date of Kácení máje may vary; the date and programme of the witch-burning event may also vary. Check the date and what is on offer in advance.
Sports Area, Pub and Tennis Planning
Voděrady’s sports area is on the edge of the village, below the forest. In summer, there is a summer pub right in the area. As it is a seasonal facility, check whether it will be open when you plan to visit. Players can sign up in advance on the booking schedule for the Voděrady tennis court or reserve a set playing time by arrangement with the groundskeeper. Booking procedures may change, so confirm which option is currently available before making plans. The pub is open in summer, while a specific time can be arranged for tennis.
Cycle Route 5143
The cycle route can also be pinpointed geographically: cycle route 5143 runs through the southern tip of the municipality of Voděrady. For those considering cycling when choosing a destination, this provides a specific point of reference for the southern part of the municipality. The route adds a distinct perspective on Voděrady to the themes of landscape, the cemetery and village events.
