Discover Ostašov

Ostašov combines cycling routes, varied views and natural attractions with insights into local production and the town’s history. Cycling Routes 3 and 6 pass through the town; the landscape descriptions offer different views. If you’re looking for a hotel for a trip to Ostašov, you can start by considering whether cycling, nature or local experiences will shape your stay.

Cycling in Ostašov

Cycling Route 3 runs from Lipník through Ostašov and Petrůvky. Cycling Route 6 goes from Petrůvky through Ostašov to Klučovská hora and continues to Střítež. This means both route descriptions include Ostašov and Petrůvky; Route 3 also mentions Lipník, while Route 6 continues via Klučovská hora to Střítež. If the places named along the way are most important to your plans, this distinction can help you choose.

One description of Route 6 leads from Ostašov along a field track to Horák Pond. This section adds a specific pond destination to the place names mentioned along the route. The route descriptions date from 2017. Check the current route and signage before setting off; also check current access conditions for the field track.

Views and nature

From the “Lipník side” of Ostašov, there are panoramic views of Lipník and the more distant Moravské Budějovice. From the opposite “Petrov side,” the view takes in wooded hills and Sádek Castle. The two viewpoints therefore offer different scenes: one features named places in the panorama, while the other is dominated by wooded hills and the castle. In very favorable weather, Alpine peaks can also be seen in the distance from Ostašov.

Several ponds lie in the vicinity of Ostašov. Horák Pond is home to numerous species of waterfowl, whose visibility varies by season. A protected area where the Pulsatilla pratensis grows is located nearby, on Klučovský kopec. The site on Klučovský kopec was designated in 1982. The natural attractions differ: Horák is known for waterfowl at the pond, while Klučovský kopec is home to the protected Pulsatilla pratensis.
