Tichov on the Tichovský Potok – Culture, Nature and Hotels

Tichov lies in a valley along the Tichovský potok, on the southern edge of the Vizovické vrchy, at an elevation of 430 to 495 metres above sea level. The stream, elevation and edge of the Vizovické vrchy provide the spatial setting for a place where historical traces, local activities and the tradition of fruit distilling are closely interconnected.

Culture and History

An important historical landmark is the Christ the King Chapel in Tichov. Construction began in 1947; it was consecrated at the local festival in 1948. The chapel in Tichov is under the spiritual administration of the Valašské Klobouky parish; Masses are held there regularly twice a week.

The settlement's history is also associated with specific traces. Historically, Tichov was an agriculturally oriented settlement with a pasekář character. The existence of five shepherds' huts is documented for the 17th and 18th centuries. An extensive cremation burial ground from the Early and Late Bronze Ages of the Lusatian culture was also investigated in the Stráže area.

Activities

A recently reconstructed sports complex is located on the outskirts of Tichov. It includes a football pitch, a children's playground and an outdoor swimming pool. Tichov also offers opportunities for hiking, cycling and winter tourism. This places different forms of exercise and outdoor recreation alongside one another within the described settlement and landscape areas, without requiring any additional facilities for this.

Cuisine

The local tradition includes the fruit distillery in Tichov, built in 1995 in the lower part of the village, Rovni. It includes a room for drying fruit and a cauldron for cooking povidl. The distillery can be visited to experience fruit distilling; visits must be arranged in advance.

An annual tasting of slivovice from the Tichov distillery is a recurring event. People from the surrounding area take part in this tasting. Thus, in addition to the architectural and landscape features, processing and a regional event also form part of Tichov's character.

Surroundings

Klášťov is located in the vicinity of Tichov. It is the highest point of the ridge of the Vizovické vrchy in the eastern part of the ridge. The summit is home to the Čertův kámen rock and the remains of an extensive Celtic hillfort.

Ploština is also located in the vicinity of Tichov. It has a recently reconstructed memorial and a museum. Both places add named historical and landscape points to Tichov's spatial context, without attributing their features to the village itself.

The stated occupancy, included services and individual price components are equally important. Before booking, the applicable booking and cancellation conditions can also be compared. This keeps the information about a stay comprehensible without assuming features that must first be specified in the specific offer.
