Němčice combines the landscape of Haná with a gentle southwestern slope of the foothills of the Carpathians. The village also has historical memorials and a multipurpose sports facility with different seasonal uses. When planning your trip, you can distinguish between the landscape and local history, the facility’s changing uses, and a cycling route that lists Němčice as a stage point. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can decide in advance which of these themes you want to shape your stay.

Landscape and local history

Two details define the area’s geographic setting: Němčice lies in the landscape of Haná and also on a gentle southwestern slope of the foothills of the Carpathians. The village is located on the road between Břest and Kostelec u Holešova. The landscape and the road provide distinct points of reference.

The first written mention of Němčice dates to 1261. The village is also home to a memorial chapel and a bell tower dating from the 19th century. The stone reconciliation cross stands on the north side of Němčice, to the left of the road from the village square to Stará Ves, near an orchard. These historical points of reference differ in how they are dated and located: the written mention gives an exact year, the chapel and bell tower are dated to a century, and the reconciliation cross is associated with a specific place within Němčice.

The village’s cultural history also includes community associations: the local reading society “Svatopluk” historically put on amateur plays and was later renamed “Odbor národní jednoty.” These past performances add another perspective on local cultural life alongside the built memorials.

Seasonal activities and cycling route

Use of the multipurpose sports facility varies by season: in summer, it is used for tennis and ball games. In winter, its concrete surface is transformed into a natural ice rink. The facility is also used for cultural purposes. This seasonal change can help you choose when to visit: tennis and ball games are summer activities, while the natural ice rink is for winter; cultural use is another aspect of the facility.

For cyclists, the 46-kilometre circular route “Rovinou okolo Kroměříže” passes through Němčice as its fourth stage point. If you include this tour in your travel plans, check the route details before setting off. The route’s length and the village’s position in the stage sequence provide two concrete points of reference for comparing the circular route with your planned stay.

Hody also offer a clearly dated point of reference: in 2025, decorating Němčice for Hody was one of the local volunteer fire brigade’s most important seasonal activities. If Hody are relevant to your trip, check the dates in advance.

Plan a stay that suits you

When choosing a holiday apartment, it helps to first consider the purpose of your stay. Those interested in local history can explore the memorials and the history of the reading society as distinct points of interest. For a season-focused trip, the sports facility’s changing uses are relevant; for a cycling trip, the circular route is a specific point of reference. Check route details or Hody dates to match your travel dates if one of these themes will shape your stay.
