Stříbrnice combines a specific church history with a landscape shaped by its natural features. Two distinct areas of interest are available to help you plan your trip: the Chapel and Church of St. Procopius, and Stříbrnické Paseky with its trails and the Čertovo sedlo rock formation. If you are looking for accommodation, you can assess the village based on whether you want to explore architectural history, spend time outdoors or combine both.

Chapel and Church of St. Procopius

The High Baroque Chapel of St. Procopius was built in 1749–1750. Its history also includes a bell cast in Brno in 1692, which is still in use today. The chapel was fully restored in 2009. This means that different periods converge in one building: its origins in the 18th century, the even older bell and the later restoration.

The Church of St. Procopius presents a different architectural style. It was consecrated on 11 November 1908 and is designed in the Neo-Romanesque style. A detail at the portal is decorated with an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus etched in glass. The height is also specified: the main tower is 33.30 metres tall. The chapel and church thus offer two distinct points of reference for exploring architectural history, without confusing their respective features.

Stříbrnické Paseky: Landscape and Nature

Stříbrnické Paseky is significant for its landscape and natural features. It was declared a nature park in 1993. This should be distinguished from the present-day description of its landscape character: the paseka settlement has been preserved there to this day. Those interested in the relationship between settlement patterns and landscape will find a distinct point of interest here, alongside the buildings of St. Procopius.

The paseky are dry and warm. Layers of wind-blown loess and sand support many warmth-loving plants and animals. This combination of soil and climate explains why the area is also of natural interest. The Čertovo sedlo rock formation is also located in the forest of Stříbrnické Paseky, providing another named natural landmark to help you orient yourself in the landscape.

Explore on Foot or by Bicycle

From Stříbrnice, a walking and cycling outing through Stříbrnické Paseky leads to the nearby Smrďavka recreation area. Lázně Leopoldov is part of this area. This is an excursion destination connected to the landscape; plan your route on foot or by bicycle depending on your preferred activity.

The Velkomoravská poutní cesta cycle route also passes through the paseky. A route description published in 2016 gives its length as four kilometres and describes it as following the original pilgrimage route to Velehrad exactly. This route therefore offers a different point of reference from the excursion towards Smrďavka: here, the focus is on the route of a named pilgrimage trail. Check current route conditions before setting out.

The Čertovo sedlo rock formation lies in the forest of the paseky and adds a specific natural monument to the landscape’s points of interest. When planning, you can distinguish between the different destinations according to whether you are looking for a route towards Smrďavka, want to follow the named cycle route or wish to explore the paseky as a natural area. These route details do not provide a specific visit duration or walking time; plan according to current conditions on site.
