Discover Voděrady

Voděrady can be characterized by its wooded heights, a Baroque cemetery church, and local traditions. These features offer different points of interest. When planning your trip, you can weigh geographical features and time-specific events separately.

Wooded heights and cycling route

At the western edge of the municipality, the first wooded hills of the Českomoravská vrchovina form the landscape setting. More specifically, this upland area belongs to the Kunštátská vysočina; the 512-meter-high Chlum is part of this landscape. Cycling route 5143 offers a second geographical reference, running through the southern tip of the municipality. The wooded heights in the west and a cycling connection in the south are thus two distinct geographical features. If you include the route in your trip planning, its course through the southern part of the area is the specific point of reference.

Festivals and dates in Voděrady

Kácení máje is a long-standing tradition in Voděrady and takes place every year. The festival features competitions for children, and they can also try out firefighting equipment. The exact date may vary, as may the program. Check both in advance if you want to plan your trip around the festival.

The traditional burning of the witches takes place at the Pod Lesem site. Participants can roast Špekáčky sausages at two fires there. The date and program for this event may also vary. If you include the festival in your plans, check the specific event details before traveling.

The Children’s Day event on May 29, 2026, at the Pod Lesem site featured competitions, an obstacle course, and hands-on activities. Kácení máje takes place annually; Children’s Day is associated with this specific date. These different time frames are useful if you are planning a stay around a particular event date.

Church and literary memorial

The Baroque cemetery Church of the Holy Spirit and the final resting place of poet František Halas give the cemetery two cultural points of interest: one architectural and one literary. If you are also considering cultural sites alongside the landscape and festivals when planning your trip, this offers a specific focus. The church is an example of Baroque architecture; the grave connects the site with Halas.

Sports and seasonal refreshments

Voděrady’s sports complex is on the edge of the village, below the forest. In summer, there is a seasonal restaurant right in the complex. If you are planning to stop for refreshments, bear in mind that it operates seasonally and check in advance whether it will be open during your visit.

There are two ways to arrange a time to use the tennis court: you can enter your booking in the schedule in advance, or reserve a fixed playing time by arrangement with the groundskeeper. As booking procedures can change, it is a good idea to check the current process. The restaurant is therefore subject to seasonal availability, while tennis requires an advance entry or arrangement. Both tips will help you distinguish between the different planning requirements for sports and refreshments.
