Sudoměřice lies on the Baťa Canal, in the foothills of the White Carpathians and directly on the border with Slovakia. Wine cellars and historic buildings in the village, a technical attraction in the nearby area and a cycling route along the canal offer different points of interest for planning your trip.

Wine Cellars and Wine

Construction of the Sudoměřice wine cellars began in the 1980s in the former dry bed of the Sudoměřický potok. The wine cellar complex is used for social gatherings over a glass of wine. This brings together a specific history of construction and present-day social use: the start of construction reflects the development of the complex, while the gatherings speak to its communal character. If you are interested in wine, this place is therefore relevant to getting your bearings in Sudoměřice both as a topic and through its history.

Traces of the Village’s History

The former manor house in Sudoměřice is a listed estate dating from the late 18th century. The bell tower also has its own historical significance: it played an important religious role before the village had a church. The tower’s bell bears the year 1847. These buildings offer different points of interest—from the protected estate to religious life before a church was built.

The foundation charter of the Church of Christ the King in Sudoměřice is built into its front wall. A statue stands in the centre of Sudoměřice, near the church. Together with the bell tower, these details offer specific points of connection with the village’s history, without requiring any one historical period to take centre stage.

From Coal Transshipment to Observation Tower

Near the destination is the Výklopník Sudoměřice, a remarkable structure dating from 1939. Originally, it was used to transfer lignite from railway wagons onto ships at the end of the Ratíškovice mining railway. Today, the structure also serves as an observation tower. Its former industrial function and its present-day role as an observation tower thus exist side by side.

An explanation of this technical attraction is available on request. Check the current visiting arrangements before you arrive if you would like to arrange an explanation. This allows you to take account of both the Výklopník’s historical purpose and the possibility of visiting it when planning your trip.

Cycling and the Waterway

The Cyklostezka podél Baťova kanálu passes through Sudoměřice and is more than 80 kilometres long. The village is therefore part of a longer cycling route. Bicycles can also be transported on boats along the route.

On the Baťa Canal, people over the age of 18 may operate a watercraft without a special permit or licence after receiving instructions from the rental provider on how to handle it. The instructions are therefore one of the stated conditions. Check the local operating conditions before your trip so that your plans take the applicable requirements into account.
