Mořkov: Hiking Trails, Cycling Route and Events

Mořkov combines marked hiking trails, a cycling route through the town, sights open to visitors and events at different times of year. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Mořkov, these destinations and dates can help you decide what to focus on during your trip: a hike, a cycling tour, an event or a visit to the chapel and memorial. Recreational horse riding on the edge of town adds another option to consider when planning.

Hiking Trails and Cycling Route

A yellow-marked hiking trail leads from Mořkov to the saddle below Krátká. A green-marked route runs via Huštýn to Zašová. The destinations provide clear reference points when choosing a route: Krátká marks the trail to the saddle, while Zašová is reached via Huštýn. Trail markings may change, so check them before setting out.

Huštýn includes a valuable geomorphological frost cliff formed of Godula strata, along with an adjoining natural woodland featuring rare and endangered plant and animal species. The green route passes through Huštýn and continues to Zašová. Huštýn is therefore notable both as part of a marked hiking route and for its geological and natural features.

The Valašsko cycling route also runs through Mořkov, connecting with other routes. This offers a different approach to planning than the hiking trails with their specific destinations: the focus here is on connections to other cycling routes. Mořkov is accessible via state road II/483 and the Ostrava–Kojetín railway line, which runs along the southern edge of the town. If you are travelling by train, check the timetable for your travel date in advance, as transport services may change.

Chapel, Memorial and Church Altar

In Mořkov, you can visit the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows and the Red Army Memorial. The main altar of the Church of St. George dates from 1667. This precise date gives the church altar its own historical significance alongside the two visitor attractions. If you are interested in particular buildings and memorial sites, the chapel, memorial and church furnishing each offer a different point of interest.

Events at Different Times of Year

The Pochod Okolo Mořkova takes place every year in early May. Refreshments are available at the event, including Mořkov cakes, goulash, smoked sausage, cabbage soup, kettle-cooked meat soup and sweets. The selection may vary from one edition to the next. The Pochod thus combines a recurring event date with a specific range of food that may change each time.

Another seasonal event is the Mořkovská pouť, traditionally held in April. The O mořkovský koláč event also takes place in Mořkov in autumn. The events mentioned therefore fall in April, early May and autumn. If an event is a key factor in your trip, check the exact dates in advance. This lets you plan your trip for the right time without confusing the different seasonal dates.

Recreational Horse Riding and Getting There

The U Juráška riding club on the edge of Mořkov offers recreational horse riding, horse hire and rides. If you want to include this in your plans, check availability and booking details before travelling, as both may change. Along with its marked hiking trails, cycling route and seasonal events, Mořkov offers a range of specific activities around which you can plan your stay.
