Two clearly distinct themes speak in favour of Květná: the Sklárna Květná 1794 glassworks and its museum, and natural attractions such as the Naučná stezka Květná and the Pramen U Cicůrku spring. When looking for a holiday apartment, these options can help you assess the village based on your own interests: glassmaking tradition, time outdoors or both.

A glassmaking tradition from 1794 to the present day

The roots of the Sklárna Květná 1794 glassworks go back to 1794. It is one of Moravia’s oldest continuously operating glassworks. So its year of origin is not the only notable aspect of its history: its uninterrupted operation is also part of its significance. According to the glassworks, Sklárna Květná 1794 products are made entirely by hand. The glassmaking tradition therefore encompasses both a long history and handcrafted production methods.

The Sklárna Květná 1794 Museum documents the development of glassmaking from its beginnings to the present day. Visitors can observe traditional glassmaking techniques there. The two perspectives complement each other: the museum spans a period of time, while the techniques offer insight into the craft methods. Advance reservations are required for guided tours of the museum in Czech. Confirm the reservation arrangements before your visit.

Educational trail, spring and outdoor swimming pool

The Naučná stezka Květná is suitable for walkers and experienced cyclists. This distinction is important when choosing an activity: walkers are welcome in general, while cycling is specifically recommended for experienced riders. The educational trail passes partly through forest and across meadows. Its landscape therefore includes both wooded and open sections.

Another natural attraction is Pramen U Cicůrku, a mountain spring in the Květná district of the municipality of Strání. If you would like to drink the water, check its quality on site. The spring and the educational trail offer different experiences: one centres on a single natural feature, while the other is an activity through forest and meadow landscapes.

The Strání–Květná outdoor swimming pool is located in Květná on Ořechová Street. Weather permitting, it is open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. from 1 July to 31 August. These opening hours are seasonal; check the current times before your visit. The pool therefore needs to be planned differently from the educational trail or the glassworks: both the time of year and the weather matter.

This gives you a clear guide when choosing a destination: the glassworks and museum appeal to travellers interested in glass history and craftsmanship, while the educational trail, mountain spring and seasonal outdoor pool add nature and leisure activities to your stay. Your own priorities among these themes can also guide your search for a holiday apartment in Květná.
