Modrá: Archaeological Open-Air Museum, Živá voda and Chřiby

The Modrá Archaeological Open-Air Museum depicts a fortified settlement from the time of Great Moravia. The site was created on the basis of actual archaeological finds, some of which were made directly at the location of the open-air museum.

Culture and History

From the palace of the Modrá Archaeological Open-Air Museum, visitors can reach the Klenotnice Velké Moravy exhibition hall. At the Modrá Archaeological Open-Air Museum, visitors can also try out traditional craft techniques. Another historical monument is the early medieval Church of Saint John in Modrá, which is now a national cultural monument of the Czech Republic. Events take place at the Modrá Archaeological Open-Air Museum and in the municipality of Modrá in every season, and over many years they have developed into traditions.

When visiting the Modrá Archaeological Open-Air Museum with a dog, dogs are allowed but must be kept on a leash.

Water and Nature

Živá voda is a botanical and limnological exhibition about life in and around the water, as well as aquatic animals and plants of the Morava River, the adjacent streams and the ponds. The Živá voda complex includes an artificially created natural swimming biotope whose water is filtered naturally with the help of special plants. At the Živá voda Modrá exhibition, visitors can observe carp, pike and beluga sturgeon in a pond through a glass tunnel.

Paths and Landscape

The 5 km-long Fauna and Flora of the Chřiby Educational Trail runs through Modrá and is suitable for pedestrians and cyclists. Its route leads from the Convent Pond near the pilgrimage basilica in Velehrad through Modrá and the valley of the Modranský potok into the Chřiby Mountains. In the valley of the Modranský potok there is a cascade of six ponds with numerous rare and protected animals, especially amphibians.

The Stezka praturů can be reached from the Živá voda grounds via a footbridge that runs up to four metres above the ground. The Stezka praturů has twelve thematic stations. There, visitors can observe aurochs and learn interesting facts about their history and their return to the Moravian pastures after 2,000 years. Above the northern edge of Modrá there is also the Židoviny lookout tower, a small wooden observation tower.

Regional Traditions

At the Centrum historie a tradic Modrá, visitors can taste regional fruit brandies and wine. They can also learn about the fruit distillation process and the history of viticulture there.
