Vojkovice can be explored through its cultural history, landscape and activities. Specific points of interest include the Boží muka wayside shrine, the prehistoric archaeological site of Vojkovické nivy and the Vojkovická vrbovna natural monument. A cycle path and a red-marked long-distance hiking trail also pass through the town; a swimming pool with three pools adds another option. For planning, it helps to consider these topics separately: history, nature and activities have different points of interest and conditions.
Wayside Shrine and Prehistoric Archaeological Site
The Boží muka wayside shrine stands on the road to Syrovice and dates from the early 18th century. Its niches depict the Holy Trinity, a Pietà and Saint Anthony of Padua. Its date and depictions provide two specific points of reference for understanding the shrine’s cultural significance. This makes it possible to connect its historical period with a look at its motifs, rather than describing it only by its location.
A much earlier period can be encountered at Vojkovické nivy. The archaeological site lies on a rise above the river. During various prehistoric periods, settlements or burial grounds, possibly both, were located there. More than 150 graves from different periods have also been investigated at Vojkovické nivy. The distinction is important for understanding the site: its use is presented as a possibility, while the number and spread of the investigated graves across different periods are specified. This places an open interpretation of the site alongside a clearly quantifiable archaeological finding.
Landscape along the Náhon
Vojkovická vrbovna is a natural monument on the northwestern edge of Vojkovice. It lies along the Vojkovický, also known as the Mlýnský, Náhon and near the local mill. Along the Vojkovický Náhon in the cadastral area of Vojkovice there are also about 500 pollarded willows; their stands connect with those in the cadastral area of Holasice. The watercourse is therefore a shared geographical reference for both the natural monument and the willow stands.
Vojkovice lies in a flat area. There are also hills, small woods and bodies of water in the surrounding area. When considering the landscape, it is worth keeping these geographical details distinct: the flat area describes Vojkovice itself, while the hills, small woods and bodies of water belong to the surrounding area. This presents the local setting and the surrounding landscape as separate features.
Cycling, Hiking and Swimming
The Brno–Vídeň cycle path and the red-marked Svatojakubská long-distance hiking trail pass through Vojkovice. The information differs by mode of travel; for the hiking trail, the markings provide additional practical information. Its route description was last updated on January 9, 2016. Therefore, check the markings before your trip.
Koupaliště města Židlochovice is located at Brněnská 426 in Vojkovice. It has a 50-meter swimming pool, a 22-meter pool for non-swimmers and a children’s paddling pool with a diameter of 12 meters. The published information relates to the 2026 season; seasonal operations may change. Check the latest information before planning a visit.
There are several different ways to choose a focus for your trip: Boží muka and Vojkovické nivy represent two widely separated historical periods, while the natural monument, willow stands and surrounding landscape offer their own geographical points of interest. The cycle path, long-distance hiking trail and swimming pool add different activities to these topics. You can therefore explore Vojkovice according to whichever focus is most important for your trip, without combining the places into a fixed sightseeing itinerary.
