Krasov: Hotels and Accommodation

Krasov combines signposted trails and protected nature with historic architecture and memorial culture.

Nature and Trails

The Krasovský kotel Nature Reserve lies north of Krasov and serves to preserve a species-rich meadow ecosystem with endangered and declining plant species, in particular Gladiolus imbricatus.

A green-marked hiking trail passes through Krasov. In the nature reserve, it runs from Krasov along green markings to the Pod Lysou trail junction, then northwest along yellow markings via the Krasovský kotel trail junction and past the summit of Kozí vrch. The Krnovská padesátka is a 50-kilometre long-distance hiking route.

Culture and History

The Baroque subsidiary Church of St Catherine in Krasov dates from 1677 and features rich stucco decoration. It is an immovable cultural monument and was extensively reconstructed between 1867 and 1878.

In the 1930s, another church was built in Krasov, which is considered a Czech Brethren church. Beneath the church in Krasov stands a war memorial to the victims of the First World War. It was attributed to the academic sculptor Josef Obeth (1874–1961).
