Kulirov: Cycling Route, Nature and Village History

Landscape and Water

The gently rolling Drahanská vrchovina forms the landscape setting for Kulirov. The village lies about 14 km northwest of Vyškov; the municipality is located on the boundary between the Moravský kras and Drahanská vrchovina bioregions. The Kulířovský potok flows through the built-up area, where three small ponds are located. This brings together a wider landscape region and specific water features within the built-up area. A bus turning loop lies at the eastern edge of the built-up area. If you are planning to travel by bus, check the timetable for your travel date.

The Studnické louky Nature Reserve is located near Studnice, at the place called Pod Fasůvkou in the direction of Kulirov. Wet meadows shape the habitat there; protected plants include the broad-leaved marsh orchid. For nature enthusiasts, this landscape feature adds a specific habitat to the description of the village.

Cycling Route and Regional Destinations

For cyclists, marked route 5029 provides a clear point of reference: it passes through Kulirov and continues towards Studnice. Check the current route before setting out.

For directions to the caves, a marked cycling route runs through Kulirov via Rozstání, Baldovec and Holštejn, continuing to the Sloupsko-šošůvské Caves. Route 5029 focuses on the direction of Studnice; the connection to the caves specifies both intermediate places and a destination. These details therefore answer different questions about orientation: where a route continues and which places lie along the way to a specific destination. Check current conditions before setting out as well.

Chapel, Wayside Shrines and Traditions

The Chapel of St. Anne stands on Kulirov’s village green. A festive Mass is celebrated there on 26 July for Hody. If you would like to plan your stay around this festival, check the latest event date in advance.

Kulirov’s oldest wayside shrines stand in the fields along the road towards Panský mlýn and were built in 1635. A statue of Saint John of Nepomuk has stood by the upper pond since 1880. Together with the chapel, these cultural landmarks can be associated with three distinct locations: the village green, the fields along the road, and the upper pond.

Local traditions also mark different points in the calendar. The traditional Hasičský bál takes place throughout the rooms of the cultural centre. A Nohejbal tournament for pairs is traditionally held at the end of the year; the Josefský table tennis tournament takes place in March. If you would like to plan your trip around one of these events, check the specific event date in advance.

You can choose between two different ways to shape your trip: the cycling route and landscape offer guidance on paths and nature, while the chapel, wayside shrines, statue and Hody date lead to local history and traditions. The landscape features are tied to specific locations, while the festival and tournament details are linked to dates or times of year. You can choose when to travel based on whether a route, a cultural theme or a particular traditional event matters most to you.
