Moldava: Hotels and Accommodation

Moldava extends across the summit areas of the Ore Mountains, the plains of Nové Město and the valley of the Mulda source. The landscape in the Moldava area includes marshes and formerly managed species-rich meadows, where numerous rare and declining plants continue to grow.

The mosaic landscape of marshes, meadows and young replacement plantings in the high elevations of the Ore Mountains provides the highly endangered black grouse with a habitat in which it breeds. The Východní Krušné hory Special Protection Area protects the black grouse population and its habitat and also extends across the cadastral area of Moldava.

Culture

Moldava is home to the Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, a single-nave rectangular building with a distinctive prismatic tower covered with shingles and pseudo-Baroque furnishings. The church was rebuilt in 1687 and extended in 1851. Services are held there regularly on Sundays.

The cemetery in Moldava, like the church, is protected as a monument. It contains mainly interesting wooden crosses and gravestones from the 19th century. The Louka u Litvínova–Moldava v Krušných horách railway section has also been a cultural monument of the Czech Republic since July 1998.

Landscape

Buky na Bouřňáku is located on the western slope of Bouřňák, 400 metres southeast of Nové Město near Moldava. The area is a remnant of an old beech stand with flag-shaped crowns. The beech trees have been shaped into interesting forms by climatic influences.

Hiking and Sports

The Naučná sklářská stezka educational trail is 18 kilometres long and runs as a circular route around Moldava and Nové Město, passing former medieval glassworks. Information panels in Czech and German, as well as dedicated tourist trail markings, accompany the route. The trail begins in upper Moldava at the monument to František Koubek near the petrol station.

Sport Centrum Bouřňák includes a ski area with six downhill slopes of varying difficulty. Several kilometres of cross-country ski trails also run through the Sport Centrum Bouřňák area. Sport Centrum Bouřňák, located in the cadastral areas of Mikulov and Moldava, includes marked hiking and cycling routes that lead through forests and meadows.
