Otaslavice between the hillfort, church and stream valley

Otaslavice lies on gentle slopes and in a stream valley at the transition from the Haná Plain to the hills and forests of the Drahanská vrchovina highlands. Above the village lies Obrova noha, a 9.5-hectare prehistoric hillfort site.

Obrova noha was inhabited during the Eneolithic period. The three surviving concentric lines of fortification were built in the Early Bronze Age; settlement traces from the Late La Tène period were identified in the outer bailey. A surviving remnant of a fourth rampart is also present.

The present Church of St Michael was built in the Tudor Gothic Revival style. The nave dates from 1847, while the chancel with its altar dates from 1890. The Church of St Michael was established when the upper castle was founded and is mentioned in 1330 together with the priest Jan.

Hladomorna is a listed remnant of the tower of the lower castle and is one of the oldest structures in Otaslavice. The lower castle was destroyed in 1424 and was never rebuilt. Part of the stone keep with window surrounds or a portal has survived from the lower castle; the coat of arms of the Lords of Kunštát is still visible above it.

The covered passageway Pavláčka leads from the rectory over a bridge spanning a hollow in the terrain to the church. With its 40 steps, it formed part of the grounds of the old church.

The Muzeum řemesel is housed in a rectory probably dating from around 1330. It presents village life through the crafts associated with Otaslavice and displays recreated areas of a bakery, hairdressing salon and mill.

The Muzeum Josefa Františka comprises six large-format panels. Three panels are dedicated to Josef František, a hero of the Battle of Britain. The Muzeum řemesel can be visited during municipal celebrations or by arrangement with the municipal office in Otaslavice.

The Koupací biotop has been a local attraction since 2018 and was created on the site of a former outdoor swimming pool. Next to the Koupací biotop, the Discgolf Park Otaslavice is open to the public. Admission to the Discgolf Park is free. Discs can be borrowed for a deposit at the outdoor pool ticket office; when the outdoor pool is closed, they can be borrowed from the municipal office.

The St Michael's Hody festival, featuring a pilgrimage and fair, usually takes place on the first Sunday in October. The Rodinná trasa runs successively through Myslejovice, Otaslavice and Brodek u Prostějova. The Rodinná trasa is classified as a cycling route of low difficulty. This low-difficulty classification provides a specific indication when planning a cycling trip.

There are bus connections from Otaslavice towards Prostějov and Nezamyslice.
