Vysoké Pole: Klášťov, Culture and Hotels

The remains of the prehistoric and early medieval Klášťov hillfort lie within the municipality of Vysoké Pole at an elevation of 753 metres. Klášťov is also the highest peak of the Vizovice Highlands in the Zlín Region.

History

Klášťov is a prehistoric and early medieval fortified settlement and the highest hillfort site of its kind in Moravia. The hillfort area was first built approximately between 900 and 750 BC, during the transition from the Late Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age. Iron deposits as well as agricultural and craft tools were discovered at Klášťov. These finds are connected with the interpretation of the site as a cult centre of the ancient Slavs.

Culture

The pilgrimage chapel of the Virgin Mary, known as “Vysocká”, was built near a spring in 1748. The present-day pilgrimage chapel of the Virgin Mary, known as “Vysocká”, was consecrated on 5 June 1876. From Valašské Klobouky railway station, the chapel can be reached via Mirošov, Drnovice and Vysoké Pole along a 12-kilometre walking route; the station is on line 283.

Trails and Landscape

The “Kočárková Trail” comprises two routes. They run along paved paths and can also be used with prams. Both start in the centre of Vysoké Pole, where a car can be parked. One route leads to the national cultural monument at the site of the burned-down settlement of Ploština, while the other leads to the chapel of the Virgin Mary, known as “Vysocká”, at the spring whose water is described as having healing properties.

The “Over Klášťov to the Ploština Memorial” route also starts in the centre of Vysoké Pole and offers views of the White Carpathians. The Vysoké Pole lookout tower can be reached on foot directly from Vysoké Pole. The 15-metre-high structure consists of larch beams on a concrete base.

It is also possible to compare occupancy, included services and individual price components there. Before booking, it is also worth checking the conditions for changes and cancellations. This keeps the differences between the offers comprehensible, without inferring more from individual prices or lists of services than is actually stated. A careful review of these fields helps you read the terms of different hotels transparently and assess the details that apply in each case directly within the offer. Travellers can additionally pay attention to the type of accommodation listed, the number of people covered by the occupancy, and which price components are explicitly specified. The rules concerning changes and cancellations should also be checked directly on the relevant offer page so that the basis for comparison remains clear when conditions differ.
