Mostkovice: Reservoir, Cycling Route and Local History

Three specific interests are at the forefront of a stay in Mostkovice: recreation by the water, cycling and local history. Swimming and water sports are possible at the Plumlovská přehrada; the Cyklostezka Plumlov–Mostkovice runs from Mostkovice to Plumlov, and the parish church of Nanebevzetí Panny Marie is a historic landmark in the village. If you are looking for a hotel in Mostkovice, you can use these highlights to decide what kind of trip you want.

Plumlovská přehrada: history and water activities

The Plumlovská přehrada is located in the cadastral area of Mostkovice. Construction began in 1912, and it was first filled with water in 1933. The start of construction and the first filling mark two distinct stages in its development. Swimming and water sports are possible at the reservoir. If you are planning to swim, check the seasonal water conditions in advance. The reservoir therefore offers both a clearly dated construction history and opportunities for active recreation. The years mark the start of construction and the first filling; swimming, by contrast, depends on conditions in the current season.

Cycling route around the reservoir

The Cyklostezka Plumlov–Mostkovice runs around the Plumlovská přehrada from Mostkovice to Plumlov. The route also includes a bridge, whose construction was supported by the Olomoucký kraj with 2,500,000 Kč. The cycle path provides a specific route, while swimming and water sports are activities at the reservoir. If you plan to use the route, check local conditions before setting off. This makes it possible to consider the cycle path as a separate highlight, distinct from recreation on the water.

Parish church and local history

The church of Nanebevzetí Panny Marie is the parish church of Mostkovice. Its origins are dated to the mid-12th century, and it is considered one of the oldest cultural monuments in the region. Its role as a parish church and its place in the region’s history are two distinct aspects of the same church. Chronologically, its origins date to well before the reservoir’s 20th-century construction. Thus, Mostkovice brings together a medieval religious landmark and the history of a later water engineering project. For travellers who want to explore local history as well as swimming or cycling, the church offers a distinct cultural and historical highlight.

An event connection from 2026

At the 2026 edition of “Hodové setkání,” visitors could sample “Hanácké koláč,” which women bakers from Mostkovice had entered in the competition. The programme also included a guided tour of the church of Nanebevzetí Panny Marie.

Different highlights for your stay

To choose a focus for your trip, it helps to distinguish between the route and the location: the Cyklostezka runs from Mostkovice to Plumlov, while swimming and water sports take place at the Plumlovská přehrada. Seasonal water conditions also matter when swimming. The church, in turn, offers a historical connection.
