Discover Pohořelice

Pohořelice brings together a town history documented in writing since 1222, heritage-protected architecture, the Jewish cemetery, Army Dirt Park and the seasonal harvest of Vrkoč pond. These topics offer different points of interest: historical context, places of remembrance, riding facilities or a specific autumn event. If you are looking for a hotel in Pohořelice, first consider whether your travel dates depend on the pond harvest or whether you are choosing the town for its history or Army Dirt Park regardless of the event. This will help you compare your travel dates with the seasonal event and decide what to focus on during your stay.

Town and Architectural History

The existence of the town is documented in writing as early as 1222. Hotel Pfann adds a much later architectural layer to this early reference: the heritage-protected building is in the town centre, and its construction dates back to the late Renaissance of the 16th and 17th centuries. These are two distinct points of reference for a historical perspective—the town’s existence in written records and the architectural history of a specific building. This makes it possible to distinguish the early reference to Pohořelice from the later architectural history of Hotel Pfann.

Jewish Cemetery

The Jewish cemetery offers another historical point of reference. There are 1,148 surviving gravestones; in 1964, the cemetery was added to the state register of cultural monuments. The register entry was updated in February 2026. The number of gravestones and the year of registration describe different aspects: the surviving collection and the date of its heritage designation. This site thus brings together a specific figure for the surviving gravestones and a stated heritage-protection designation.

Riding Facilities at Army Dirt Park

Army Dirt Park focuses on active recreation. Its riding facilities include a pump track, dirt tracks and a skatepark. The three facilities offer different activities within the same park. If you are interested in these riding facilities, you can make them a specific reason for your trip. As facilities and operating rules may change, it is advisable to check the current conditions before visiting.

Autumn Harvest at Vrkoč Pond

The traditional harvest of Vrkoč pond is associated with Pohořelice and takes place in late October; the exact dates vary. The event includes demonstrations of pond harvesting, fresh fish for sale and on-site refreshments. The dates announced for 2026 are October 30 and 31 and November 1. On these days, visitors can watch the fishermen at work. As dates and vendors may vary from year to year, it is worth checking the latest event information before your trip. This will help you plan your visit around the announced autumn dates.

Regional Road Connection

Pohořelice lies on the route between Brno and Vienna; the expressway network also connects these cities with Znojmo. This regional road connection provides a point of reference for planning your journey.
