Svinošice: Hotels and Accommodation

Svinošice can be discovered through its local history, routes to natural and cultural destinations, and local traditions.

Culture and History

The Chapel of the Holy Family in Svinošice was built at the end of the 19th century. A cast-iron cross on a stone pedestal has stood beside it since 1871. In the upper part of the village on the road to Šebrov, there is a state-protected cultural monument in the form of a wayside shrine.

The war memorial on the village square opposite the chapel, dating from 1921, commemorates the names of all the victims of the First World War from Svinošice. Its pedestal was later supplemented with a marble plaque bearing the names of three victims of the Second World War. A memorial plaque dedicated to the school principal Bohumil Vařílek has stood on the former school building, now the cultural centre, since 1945.

Svinošice was once home to a medieval fortress. It is documented from 1373 to 1437 and disappeared sometime in the second half of the 15th century.

Nature and Hiking Trails

A yellow-marked hiking trail starts in Svinošice and leads to Babí lom. The 15-metre-high Babí lom lookout tower stands there; it is freely accessible and can be reached from Svinošice via the yellow hiking trail, a distance of 4.3 kilometres. The nearby Babí lom forest educational trail is just under 2 kilometres long and has a total of 10 information panels.

In the eastern part of Svinošice lies the recently reconstructed Luhy locality, with a rest area and a fire pit. From the rest area in Luhy, you can reach the Šebrovka waterfall.

South of Svinošice lie the protected Spálená skála area and the Babí lom nature reserve, with a rocky ridge of siliceous conglomerates covered by natural forest.

The ruins of Nový hrad can also be reached from Svinošice: first follow the yellow hiking trail to the U Jelínka crossroads, then take the red hiking trail for a distance of 10.6 kilometres. At Lelkovadlo, a wooden sculpture, hikers can take a break at a rest area with benches and a covered shelter. About 500 metres from Lelkovadlo begins the educational trail of Lesy města Brna, which explains the journey of a tree from seed to wood products.
