Březůvky: Kapřín Reservoir and Chapel

Březůvky has cultural and landscape features that are clearly distinct from one another. The local history includes architecture and customs; alongside these are water, a spring, wetlands, and a specific local connection between the bus stop and the reservoir. Each of these features has its own name and character.

Culture and History

The timber-framed barn in Březůvky is a monument of exceptional historical, material, and architectural significance for the municipality of Březůvky and the entire Luhačovické Zálesí region. In the past, it was customary in Březůvky for masked figures dressed as pea straw, straw ropes, and inverted fur coats to climb a tree in the village square, preach satirically, and publicly embarrass some people for fun. Those affected had to buy their way out of the accusations at the local inn.

Construction of the Chapel of Saint Agnes of Bohemia began in 1998. The completed chapel was solemnly consecrated at the end of August 2002 by Bishop Mgr. Hrdlička. It is Březůvky’s most prominent landmark and is visible from the western edge of the municipality.

Water

Kapřín Reservoir is approximately 200 metres long and almost 100 metres wide. Swimming is possible there for recreation and is free of charge; sport fishing is also possible.

Nature

Uhliska comprises preserved, partially waterlogged floodplain meadows in the meanders of the Černý potok, along with adjacent natural and artificially created wetlands. The area provides a habitat for endangered amphibian species and is also home to the noble crayfish. The Studánka Lukáščena spring is located about 1 kilometre from Březůvky. Both residents of the surrounding villages and tourists and drivers frequently stop at the nearby spring to fill water containers.

Geographical Location

The Březůvky, Na Hutích bus stop is located approximately 100 metres above the end of the small Kapřín Reservoir.
