Ublo: Hotels, Hiking Trails and Local History

Landscape

Ublo lies in the hills of the Vizovická vrchovina. The surrounding area includes forests, meadows and pastures. This landscape provides the spatial setting for paths running through the cadastral area and over the surrounding hills.

History and Culture

The first written record of the settlement of Ublo dates from 1450 and documents the local bailiff’s estate. A later chapter in the village’s history is connected with Baťa’s railway: construction work on the Vizovice–Ublo section began in July 1934. The UBlanka Tunnel is a concrete remnant of the railway left unfinished by Baťa.

Historical traces can also be found in the village itself. A monument to those who fell in the First World War stands in the centre of Ublo. The preserved wooden houses in Ublo are part of the region’s folk architecture. In addition, the new bell tower with a new bell has once again become part of Ublo’s local landscape; the bell in Ublo’s bell tower bears the year 1784.

Local culture also includes Ubelské divadlo, which continues the local tradition of amateur theatre. Another historical connection is a bronze socketed axe, found in the Valušné field in Ublo or the nearby area, which is kept in the museum in Olomouc.

Hiking and Routes

Baťa’s unfinished railway is also incorporated into hiking trails. A hiking route along Baťa’s unfinished railway reaches Ublo; there, the UBlanka Tunnel is planned as the first stop. On the Baťa railway line, the trail in Ublo runs above the Ublanka Tunnel and then turns back into a grass-covered railway embankment.

The hiking trail from Vizovice through Ublo is approximately 14 km long, has a steeper climb at Suchý vrch, and then runs mainly through the forest along the contour lines. A hiking trail leads from Vizovice through Ublo and runs below Suchý vrch parallel to the yellow hiking trail marking. A yellow-marked hiking trail passes through the cadastral area of Ublo.

Further marked routes complement this network of paths: The route from Vartovna follows green- and yellow-marked hiking trails towards Ublo and the U Hruška viewpoint. On the return leg of the “Kapka mezi dvěma zámky” route, hikers encounter the railway body of the unfinished railway again in Ublo and climb via Jasenná to Vartovna.

The included services and individual price components can likewise be compared. Before booking, the applicable booking and cancellation conditions should also be clearly visible.
