Hotels in Starý Hrozenkov: Folklore, Nature and Hiking Trails

Starý Hrozenkov combines folklore and sacred buildings with educational trails, a nature area and a long-distance cycling route. Several facets of the Moravian Kopanice come together here: traditional music and customs, insights into life in the past and present, geological features, and the landscape around the town.

Culture

The Kopaničárské slavnosti takes place in Starý Hrozenkov every year as a traditional folklore festival featuring music, dance, cymbal music and other folk traditions. Also every year, in mid-June, Starý Hrozenkov hosts a brass music festival with participants from Moravia and Slovakia.

The pilgrimage celebration of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary takes place every year on 8 September in the parish church in Starý Hrozenkov and is associated with Hody and harvest thanksgiving celebrations. At the beginning of September, the Hody and harvest thanksgiving celebrations include a procession in traditional costumes through the village, as well as an exhibition of historic agricultural machinery and tools used by ancestors in their work in past centuries. The Hrozenkovské hody are also associated with the presentation of traditional products made by the Kopaničáři and products from local organic farmers.

The traditional costume of Starý Hrozenkov is characterized by cross-stitch embroidery and is considered one of the most interesting folk costumes in the Slovácko region. The town's buildings also contribute to its cultural character: the parish Church of the Virgin Mary in Starý Hrozenkov is a late Baroque cultural monument dating from 1774. The chapel by the pond in Starý Hrozenkov dates from the 17th century.

Nature

Starý Hrozenkov lies in the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area and Biosphere Reserve. Within this landscape is Hrozenkovský lom, also called lom Skala. It is a natural area and the only place in the White Carpathians where columnar jointing of basalt can be observed.

The Okolo Hrozenka educational trail is a 20-kilometre, moderately difficult hiking route. Along eight information panels, it provides information about life and culture in the Moravian Kopanice in the past and present. In this way, the trail connects the landscape with accessible topics from everyday life and regional history without separating the natural setting from its cultural context.

The Moravské Kopanice educational trail leads through the landscape around Žítková and Starý Hrozenkov. At 14 stops, it presents historical and natural sights as well as particularly valuable plants and animals. The educational trail begins in the village square of Starý Hrozenkov. The Beskydsko-karpatská magistrála long-distance cycling route also passes through Starý Hrozenkov.
