Hacky: Hotels and Accommodation

Hačky is located on a plateau in the northeastern part of the Drahanská vrchovina Highlands.

Landscape

Hačky is protected to the north by Březina Forest and the 562 m-high Na skalách mountain. From Hačky, there are expansive views across the landscape towards Velký Kosíř. The “U dvou studánek 2” spring can be reached on foot via a footpath.

Cycling

The annual traditional “otvírání silnic” marks the start of the cycling season; Hačky is the destination of the first group ride after winter. The “Za větrnými mlýny okolo Konice” cycle route also passes through Hačky. One of its three windmill stops is the Hačky windmill.

Culture

The composer Antonín Žváček, who was born in Hačky, composed around 500 works, mainly polkas and waltzes. Kanafase and Barchete were also woven in Hačky.

The former wooden windmill of Hačky burned down to its foundations in 1914; a new windmill was built on the same site in 1923. The windmill of Hačky has a rotor with a diameter of 7 m and consists of six wooden blades. The windmill is privately owned and is not open to the public for tours.

The Chapel of the Virgin Mary was built in the centre of Hačky in 1927. Above the entrance to the chapel is a fresco depicting Saints Cyril and Methodius.
