Pohořelice offers sweeping views across the valleys of the Morava and Dřevnice rivers. At the same time, buildings from different centuries tell the story of the town’s past. When planning a trip, you can focus on the landscape, trails or architecture—and tailor your holiday apartment search to your interests.

Trails and sweeping views

The Stezky napajedelských emirátů (Trails of the Napajedla Emirate) connect Pohořelice with neighbouring communities and are intended for hikers and mountain bikers. Most of the routes follow farm tracks and footpaths, as well as quiet trails free of road traffic. This identifies both the intended user groups and the types of routes that predominate. For planning your outings, this gives you a practical guide if you want to explore Pohořelice on foot or by mountain bike. The links with neighbouring communities also make the trail network interesting for travellers who do not want to limit their plans to a single place.

The landscape includes far-reaching views across the valleys of the Morava and Dřevnice rivers. Another named viewpoint is Vyhlídkové místo u křížku (the viewpoint by the little cross): from there, the view extends to Žlutava, Otrokovice and the White Carpathians. Sweeping valley views and specific destinations in the landscape thus offer different scenic attractions. If views and scenery are a priority on your trip, you can make them a focus alongside the trails and architectural history.

Chapels, churches and a château

The Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes was built in 1882 in the Neo-Gothic style, based on a design by architect Gustav Meretta. The year, the style and the architect’s name provide three different points of reference for learning about the building: when it was built, its architectural classification and its design. The Church of St John of Nepomuk takes you back to an earlier period. It was built in 1739–1740 and is a Baroque church. Its façade features statues of Saint Procopius and Saint Augustine. Pohořelice Château dates from the second half of the 18th century and is connected to the neighbouring church by a passageway. The relationship between the two buildings is itself part of the town’s architectural history.

The Church of St Giles is also Baroque; it was built in 1761–1762. It commemorates the former village of Podhradí and a fortress that once stood there but no longer exists. Distinct from this is another historical point of reference: the visible remains of the medieval Leopoldov fortress. Together, these places offer different ways of exploring the past: the construction date and design of a church, the memory of a vanished settlement and the surviving traces of a medieval fortress. The dates of the churches and chapel also help place these buildings in their historical context.

A distinctive feature in the château park

Pohořelice Château Park was laid out in the English style and is home to numerous rare trees. This adds a distinct landscape and garden element to the sweeping views and historic buildings. If you are weighing up nature and culture, you can include the park as another point of interest in your personal travel plans. Your choice need not be limited to a single interest: trails, scenic views and architectural history offer different ways to experience a stay in Pohořelice. Use these themes as a guide when searching for a holiday apartment that suits your travel plans.
