Tasov: Nature, Trails and Culture

A stay in Tasov can be tailored to different interests. The municipality is located in the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area; rare animals and plants, including orchids, can be observed in the flower-rich meadows. Several cycling routes pass through Tasov, while the chapel, mill, artists and traditional cultural events give the village its own historical and cultural focus. When planning your trip, consider whether you would like to focus mainly on the landscape and trails, the history of the village, or a cultural event.

Landscape and Water

Rare animals and plants, including orchids, can be observed in Tasov’s flower-rich meadows. The meadows give the natural side of the village a specific botanical connection; orchids are among the plants explicitly mentioned. Together with its location in the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area, this is a distinctive theme for anyone interested in landscape and nature when choosing a destination.

The Tasovský rybníček offers another facet. Anglers use it for fishing, and it is fed by the Velička stream. Tasov therefore offers different connections with nature side by side: flower-rich meadows with their rare species, and a body of water associated with fishing in descriptions of local leisure activities.

Trails through Tasov and Regional Orientation

Several cycling routes pass through Tasov. A blue-marked hiking trail from Veselí nad Moravou to Velká nad Veličkou also runs through the village. Its two endpoints provide a clear geographical reference and a practical guide if you would like to include the route in your travel plans.

Another named route is the Strážnická vinařská stezka. It runs from Ostrožská Lhota via Louka, Lipov and Tasov to Strážnice. If you plan to follow this route during your stay, check the current trail markings on site. This keeps your route planning tied to the specific course of the trail and the relevant signposting.

The village’s older trail history is also part of its character: a historic route through Tasov was known as “Porta Tasi” on old maps. This name adds a historical perspective to the variety of cycling and hiking trails described today. The routes differ in character: the hiking route names Veselí nad Moravou and Velká nad Veličkou as its endpoints, while the Strážnická vinařská stezka includes several places along the way.

Cultural History and Traditions

The Chapel of Saint Wenceslas was built in 1928. A much earlier historical connection is the Tasovský mlýn: it was mentioned in the 13th century as property of the Lords of Žerotín. The dates represent different periods—the year the chapel was built, on the one hand, and the medieval mention of the mill’s ownership, on the other.

Two artists’ biographies are also connected with Tasov. The Slovácko painter Antoš Frolka lived and worked in Tasov; the folk artist Rozka Falešníková was born there. The connections are different: for Frolka, they relate to his life and work; for Falešníková, to her birthplace. Both names add personal connections to the municipality alongside its architectural and ownership history.

Václavské hody is a traditional cultural event in Tasov. If you would like to plan your stay around this event, check the date in advance. The Topolový hájek complex is also located nearby, and various cultural and social events are held on its grounds. These two references offer different cultural connections: a traditional event in Tasov and an event venue in the surrounding area.

Plan a Stay That Suits You

When looking for a hotel in Tasov, your reason for travelling can be a useful starting point: nature and trails, local history or a cultural event each offer a different focus. If you plan to follow a particular route, take its described course into account; for Václavské hody, include the event date in your plans. This way, you can choose Tasov based on the theme that matters most to you during your stay.
