Hraničné Petrovice: Hotels and Accommodations

Hraničné Petrovice is located in the Jívovská vrchovina highlands in the southwestern Nízký Jeseník at an elevation of approximately 580 m, in a hilly landscape with broad, rounded watersheds and deeply incised stream valleys.

Nature

The municipality of Hraničné Petrovice lies within the Údolí Bystřice Nature Park. The area around the village is characterized by agriculture and forestry: it consists predominantly of coniferous forests, fields, meadows, and pastures where cattle are kept extensively.

The important Domašovské louky landscape feature extends into the municipality and consists of wet foothill meadows with protected and endangered plant species. Legally protected bird species also occur in the Hraničné Petrovice area, including the black stork, stock dove, sparrowhawk, montagu’s harrier, goshawk, raven, and eagle owl.

Culture and Historical Traces

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul stands at the highest point of Hraničné Petrovice, at an elevation of 590 m, on the road between Šternberk and Domašov nad Bystřicí. The single-nave building has a five-sided presbytery and a 40 m-high tower on the west side.

The Pietà group was created in 1870 on the old road toward the former village of Hraničné; it bears the German devotional inscription “Schmerzens Mutter bitt für uns”. A field path leads from the village past the Pietà. Along this path stretches the more than 250 m-long Petrovická alej, which was planted on April 23, 2016, exclusively with native and traditional woody plants.
