Ketkovice: Hotels and Accommodation

The wooded western part of the Ketkovice area lies in the Údolí Oslavy a Chvojnice Nature Park. The valley of the Oslava and Chvojnice is a canyon-like tourist and recreational area shaped by meandering rivers. The Údolí Oslavy a Chvojnice Nature Reserve, which also extends into Ketkovice, is home to the only recent site of the Adriatic lizard orchid in the Czech Republic, as well as a relatively large population of the large-flowered pasque flower at the edge of its Czech distribution range. The Panorama viewpoint offers a view of the Oslava meander known as Čertův jazyk.

A red-marked hiking trail leads from the Vysoké Popovice railway stop to Ketkovice and Levnov Castle. From Oslavany railway station, a green-marked hiking trail leads via Čučice to Ketkovický mlýn. Designated cycling routes also pass through the village: the Templářská 5199 cycle route runs through Ketkovice and is part of a 39-kilometre circular route. The Hornická cycle route also runs through Ketkovice and is 50 kilometres long.

The remains of Levnov Castle lie on a rocky promontory with a significant elevation above the Oslava River. Levnov Castle was deliberately destroyed around 1440. Ketkovický, Vydrův mlýn was probably built at the same time as Levnov Castle, after 1300.

The Cyril and Methodius Pilgrimage takes place every July in Ketkovice; it includes a Mass at the Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius. The St Catherine’s Pilgrimage takes place every November.

The Church of Saint Catherine in Ketkovice was built in 1780 on the site of an older church dating from the 13th century. It is an east-facing single-nave building with a pentagonal presbytery and is listed as a cultural monument.
