Hotels in Boršice – Mammoth Trail, Wine and History

In Boršice, the “In the Footsteps of Mammoth Hunters” educational trail follows an approximately 1-kilometre route exploring a vivid aspect of the village’s history. Information panels, life-size wooden sculptures of animals and mammoth hunters, animal tracks, a shamanic post and covered seating areas are among the stations. The educational trail is intended for hikers, families with children, seniors, residents and visitors to the municipality of Boršice, as well as school trips.

Culture

St. Wenceslas Church in Boršice has been dedicated to Saint Wenceslas, the patron saint of the Czech lands, since at least the 16th century. It underwent extensive reconstruction in 1791. Inside, the church has three altars; the main altar features a painting of Saint Wenceslas by Ignác Raab.

The historic Sovín water mill, also called Horní, is likewise one of the village’s listed cultural monuments. It is still equipped with its original milling machinery. The locality of Chrástka in Boršice provides another link to early history: a camp of mammoth hunters dating from around 30,000 BC was discovered there. Tusks and bones from several mammoths, bones of other animals and several thousand stone artefacts were also uncovered in Chrástka.

Wine and Festivals

The annual cycle in Boršice also includes recurring events. The Slovácké hody s právem festival takes place every year on the third Sunday in October. As part of this celebration, a procession of the costumed Chasa passes through the municipality of Boršice on Sunday.

Every year on Easter Sunday, Boršice hosts a wine presentation featuring approximately 1,000 wine samples. After paying a one-time admission fee, visitors can taste wines of their choice using a glass decorated with the event logo. The two dates have different focuses: the October Sunday is associated with the Chasa procession, while the wine presentation is the main event on Easter Sunday.

Cycling Routes

The “St. Methodius Cycle Path” connects Boršice via Zlechov with the main cycling routes in the Uherské Hradiště area. The section within the cadastral area of Boršice is 1,640 metres long and begins at the last houses near Dolní mlýn. This covers both the connection via Zlechov and the precisely named section within the cadastral area of Boršice.

The cycle path follows an old road that Saint Methodius may have regularly travelled in the 9th century. This historical attribution retains its cautious qualification regarding the period and stands alongside the current name and route of the “St. Methodius Cycle Path”.
