Bystřička: Hotels and accommodations

In Bystřička, the topics range from water and rocks to trails and history.

Water and history

The Bystřička waterworks is a cultural monument of the Czech Republic and was declared a cultural monument in 2003 due to its unique architectural and urban design and technical equipment. The Bystřička Dam is one of the oldest dams in the Czech Republic and is the oldest dam in the catchment area of the Morava River upstream of its confluence with the Dyje.

In the past, Bystřička had a craft tradition of making torches, Křivák knives and household wooden vessels, which were referred to as “valašský porcelán”.

Klenov and its rocks

The rocky summit of Zámčisko on Klenov mountain is home to the remains of a medieval castle. Ceramic finds date the existence of the castle at Zámčisko to the 14th century.

The Klenov massif features large and scenically impressive sandstone and conglomerate rock formations, some of which are interpreted as frost cliffs. The rock formation at Klenov includes a narrow gorge, a small fissure cave, rock ledges and a rock window measuring 165 cm in length and 35 cm in width.

The main beach at the Bystřička Reservoir is partly grassy and partly sandy, with a gently sloping access to the water. Near the main beach at the Bystřička Reservoir, there is a rental service for boats and paddleboards.
