Hotels in Popovice: Nativity Art, Customs and Protected Nature

Popovice is a place for visitors who do not want to reduce nature and established culture to a single theme. Leisure, ecclesiastical heritage, traditional customs and protected landscapes stand side by side here. This makes it possible to discover different sides of the town: activity and socialising, religious history, regional traditions, and nature and species conservation.

Activities and leisure

Amfík Bukovina is a leisure and sports complex for relaxation and socialising in natural surroundings. The site has a multifunctional sports court for ball games, a pétanque court, an outdoor workout area and a children's playground.

The surroundings of Amfík Bukovina offer opportunities for hiking and cycling. In addition to the facilities at the complex, activity in the immediate area is therefore also one of the explicitly mentioned aspects of this place.

Culture

The movable nativity scene Pohyblivý betlém in the Church of Panny Marie Růžencové in Popovice was created by Antonín Potomák, who was born in Popovice, and completed in 1950. The Pohyblivý betlém presents a ten-minute nativity scene accompanied by a carillon.

The Church of Panny Marie is considered a dominant landmark of Popovice. The Gothic bell in the church tower dates from 1508 and is the second-oldest surviving bell in the Uherské Hradiště area.

The annual cultural events include Slovácké hody s právem in Popovice. They take place every year on the first weekend in October. The Saturday programme includes a procession accompanied by music and the formal request for the hodové právo at the municipal office.

The Potomákovo muzeum documents the historical development of the Kunovský folk costume and the variants formerly used. The museum can be visited year-round by prior telephone appointment at 572 574 097.
