Slavkov: Hotels and Accommodation

Slavkovský zámek, the oldest building in Slavkov, is located in Slavkov. The building was created in 1586 by converting the original fortress. The chapel with a Renaissance vault is the only surviving and listed part of Slavkovský zámek.

Culture

The parish church of St. Anne was built between 1657 and 1665 by Václav Sigmund Sedlnický z Choltic. It is a single-nave Baroque church and was originally dedicated to All Saints. Tombstones of the Lords of Slavkov from the second half of the 16th century are embedded in its walls.

A sandstone statue of St. John of Nepomuk dating from 1722 was also moved to the parish church of St. Anne. The front of its pedestal features a relief coat of arms of the donors, the Counts Podstatský z Prusinovic. St. Barbara's Chapel, a Baroque chapel from the early 19th century, also stands on Zámecká Street.

Nature

The Hvozdnice Nature Reserve covers areas in the cadastral territory of Slavkov u Opavy. It is home to species-rich communities of ponds, wetlands and remnants of alluvial forests, which provide a refuge for many bird and amphibian species.

The bedrock emerges at several locations in the nature reserve. Clayey-silty shales contain fossilised remains of invertebrates, particularly the shells of cephalopods and bivalves, as well as plant remains from the Lower Carboniferous.

The Hvozdnice educational trail in Slavkov is 9.5 km long and runs along three ponds with wetlands and pools. It offers a walk through the protected Hvozdnice natural area. It can be reached from at least four directions: from Slavkov, Hertice, Otice and Uhlířov.
