Prlov combines its setting in a basin along the Prlovský potok stream with nature and history themes and a public cultural programme. This offers different focal points for planning your trip: the Naučná stezka Prlovským lesem nature trail, protected natural areas and events in the village. Which of these matters most to you can help you decide when to travel and what to look for in a holiday apartment.

Woodland Scenery and Natural Areas

Prlov lies in the northeastern part of the Vizovická vrchovina uplands, in a basin along the Prlovský potok stream. Forests cover about 40 percent of Prlov’s 712-hectare area. Its location by the stream and in the basin describes the landscape; the forest figure adds the proportion of the municipality’s area that is wooded.

The Přírodní památka Prlov natural monument comprises three separate areas. They lie approximately 190 metres west, 480 metres northeast and 1.2 kilometres east of the village centre. These approximate distances help you place the three areas geographically. Their features include flower-rich meadows with rare orchids and other specially protected plants.

Another natural attraction near Prlov is the state-protected Neratovský rybník pond. It is notable for its diversity of waterbirds and for the presence of invertebrates, including dragonflies, and amphibians. The meadow flora of the protected areas and the wildlife around the pond offer different ways to experience nature.

The Nature Trail Connects Nature and History

The Naučná stezka Prlovským lesem nature trail runs through the northern part of Prlov and is 4.9 kilometres long, or around five kilometres. It introduces the historical and natural sights of the municipality of Prlov and its surroundings. The route passes the Chapel of Saint Hubert; the trail also includes a forest ropes course, a replica partisan bunker and a memorial connected with the tragedy of Prlov. If you would like to explore nature and local history together, the trail brings both themes together.

Local History and Remembrance
