Vnorovy: Cycling Route, River Landscape and History

Vnorovy offers several starting points for planning a stay: a long cycling route, fishing opportunities on the Morava and its old river channels, as well as historic buildings and local customs. If you are looking for a hotel in Vnorovy, you can first consider which of these interests you would like to shape your visit.

Waterways and Cycling

Vnorovy lies on the left bank of the Morava, which touches the northern edge of the municipality. In the south, the Velička flows through the cadastral area. Its western part is crisscrossed by a dense network of waterways. These include the Morava, the meanders of the old Morava, the Baťa navigation canal and irrigation canals. The river, old channels and canals therefore represent different aspects of the local waterscape.

The cycling route along the Baťa Canal is more than 80 kilometres long and passes through Vnorovy on the stretch between Veselí nad Moravou and Strážnice. These towns provide a specific framework for planning your route; Vnorovy lies along the way. As conditions on the route may change, it is a good idea to check them before setting out.

The Baťa Canal boating season is another practical consideration when planning your trip: it runs every year from May to October. Exact dates may vary, so check the latest information about the season before travelling.

Fishing and Summer Recreation

Fishing is possible on the Morava in Vnorovy. Fishing is also possible on the old channels of the Morava; the stated water area covers approximately 100 hectares. This figure refers to the water area and is approximate.

Vnorovy is located in one of the warmest climate zones in the Czech Republic and is well suited to summer recreation by the water and fishing. If you want to focus your stay on these activities, they offer two related but distinct ways to plan your trip: the river and the water areas of the old channels.

Churches and Historic Monuments

The first written mention of the parish church in Vnorovy dates from 1378. The Church of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary was built in 1909. It is a Neo-Gothic building with Art Nouveau elements. The two dates refer to different historical details: the first mention of the parish church and the year the named church was built.

Other dates mark different milestones: the Trinity group dates from 1745, and the statue of Saint John of Nepomuk from 1747. The Chapel of the Virgin Mary was built in 1898. In Lidéřovice, the statue of Saint Florian dates from 1749. Each date refers to the specific building or monument named, bringing the range of historical periods to life.

Customs and Crafts

Traditional customs of the Slovácko region are still observed in Vnorovy, including Easter, Christmas and feast-day customs. Local craft traditions include decorating Easter eggs, braiding Easter whips, known as korbáče, and making figures from corn straw.

These customs offer a different perspective on cultural life alongside the buildings: the historical sites’ varied dates are complemented by traditional celebrations and distinctive forms of handicraft. You can explore Vnorovy according to your interests, whether through its waterscape, cycling route, history or local traditions.
