Traplice offers several specific points of interest for a stay: historic buildings, a wine tradition, and a shared cycling and walking path. The village lies in the Chřiby Mountains and in the flat valley of the Jankovický potok. This brings together its landscape setting and the valley’s distinctive shape. A deed of donation to Velehrad Monastery first mentions Traplice in 1228.

Building Culture from Different Centuries

In the centre of Traplice stands a two-storey stone bell tower with a pyramidal roof, dating from the second half of the 18th century. Near the chapel is a five-metre-high stone cross from 1820. It stands on a stepped pedestal with volute-shaped side wings. The Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary was consecrated on 5 September 2009 by Archbishop of Olomouc Mons. Jan Graubner. The tower, cross, and chapel thus represent different periods and architectural forms in the village landscape.

Another architectural feature is the earthen building behind house no. 20. Its features include an upstairs chamber, a living room with a tiled stove, a wooden beam ceiling, a smoke kitchen, and a through-barn. The description thus covers different aspects of the building: its construction, rooms, and architectural elements. Those interested in rural architecture will find a different focus here from the stone buildings in the centre and near the chapel.

Walking and Activities

A shared cycling and walking path runs between Traplice and Sušice. The route was completed on 25 June 2021. When planning locally, it is worth checking the current condition of the surface. No distance or walking time is given: the path is described as a connection for cyclists and pedestrians, with no specific time estimates provided.

Another activity in Traplice is a bowling alley with two fully automatic lanes. The cycling and walking path and the bowling alley offer different ways to spend your stay: getting outdoors or planning a game of bowls. This adds a leisure option to the architectural and local history, without requiring you to focus your visit on a single theme.

Wine Tradition and Changing Festival Dates

At the traditional Traplice wine exhibition, visitors can sample around 350 wines from the Uherské Hradiště region. It takes place annually in early March. Traplice also holds the traditional Slovácko festival, Hody s právem; its dates vary from year to year. The two events therefore differ in their scheduling: early March is the recurring time for the wine exhibition, while the date of Hody may change each year. If you would like to plan your trip around a festival, check its announcement for the relevant year.

The village’s history, its different architectural styles, and its wine events offer different ways to shape a stay in Traplice. The path between Traplice and Sušice also provides an option for cyclists and pedestrians. You can therefore first consider whether you would like to focus your trip on architecture, wine, or outdoor activity; when planning around an event, the specific date for that year is what matters.
