A signposted cycling route along the canal, a late Baroque church and a nearby infantry fortification give Dyjákovice several distinct travel highlights. If you are looking for a destination for a stay, you can weigh up whether cycling, sacred architecture or military history should be your focus. The Thaya is also part of the local geography.

Cycling along the canal

A signposted cycling route runs along the Krhovice–Hevlín Canal at the southwestern edge of Dyjákovice. The route designations include 48, EV13, Greenway P-W, Moravská vinná and Po rovince. This means the route at this edge of the village is identified by several specific designations.

The signposted “Po rovince” route has an easy, flat profile; 80 percent runs along local roads without road traffic. The character of the route can therefore be assessed from two specific details: its flat profile and the proportion of local roads without road traffic. If cycling is important to your choice of destination, these features may help inform your decision.

Military history in the surrounding area

There are more than 30 military fortification structures in the vicinity of Dyjákovice. The nearby MJ-S 15 “Závora” infantry fortification offers visitors specific things to see: a modernized filtering and ventilation system, fully equipped cupolas and an original pump. The number of structures describes the wider context; the named fortification is a specific place to visit. Check current visiting arrangements before your visit.

Churches and smaller sacred buildings

The Church of St. Michael the Archangel is late Baroque and dates from 1757 to 1761. The Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes stands at the eastern edge of the village. Its single-nave body, polygonal chancel and tower above the western entrance give the building a clearly described form.

The small Chapel of Our Lady, Mother of the Church, stands at the western edge of the village and dates from 1886. The two chapels are therefore located at opposite edges of the village. Their locations and the differing details about their architectural forms offer a specific comparison, while St. Michael’s, as a late Baroque church, provides another architectural highlight.

A Calvary group stands in the former cemetery by the north wall of the parish church. At its center is a monumental classicist cemetery cross. A stone wayside shrine from the 16th century is one of the late Gothic pre-Reformation small outdoor monuments. In the center of Dyjákovice, around the Church of St. Michael, an area has also been designated where archaeological finds have been confirmed or are reasonably suspected.

The Thaya and the pilgrimage

The Thaya flows through Dyjákovice; it also feeds the irrigation canal to Hevlín. The river and canal add a geographical connection to the village to the cycling and cultural themes described above.

Dyjákovice holds a pilgrimage in honor of the holy Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. It is scheduled for a Sunday around September 29. Check the exact date before your trip.
