Rokytnice: Nature in the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area

Rokytnice lies in the valley of the Rokytenka stream and within the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area. At the same time, the village is on the boundary between the ethnographic regions of South Wallachia and Slovácko. This gives you two points of reference for planning your trip: a protected landscape and a cultural border region. The planning area of Rokytnice also lies within the protected landscape area; it also includes the European Natura 2000 sites of Valentová and Na Koncoch. If you are looking for hotels in Rokytnice, you can connect this context with the nature and cycling themes relevant to planning your trip.

Natural Areas and Landscape Features

Valentová includes riparian forests along streams, flower-rich beech forests, mesic tall oat-grass meadows, and numerous other wetland habitats. Na Koncoch is also characterized by flower-rich beech forests and riparian forests along streams, as well as meadows, pastures, and spring areas. The two areas therefore share beech forests and streamside woodland. Valentová also includes tall oat-grass meadows and other wetland habitats, while Na Koncoch also features meadows, pastures, and spring areas. These landscape features provide a concrete way to distinguish the two natural areas.

Jasla offers a different setting: this extensive meadow lies on the boundary between the cadastral areas of Rokytnice and Kochavec. A hunting lodge stands in the meadow, and in good visibility you can see Svatý Hostýn, about 60 kilometers away. This makes Jasla an open meadow landscape, unlike the forest and stream habitats of the two Natura 2000 sites; the distant view from the lodge depends on good visibility.

Cycling and Winter in Rokytnice

Tourists and cyclists visit the countryside around Rokytnice. In winter, cross-country skiing takes place in the local landscape. These two activities appeal to different travel interests: cycling in the nature around Rokytnice and cross-country skiing in the winter landscape.

One specific cycling route is Route A. It runs from Pitín through Rokytnice to Štítná nad Vláří. In this sequence, Rokytnice lies between the other two named places. This gives you a way to explore the cycling options both through the local countryside and on a route with a specific itinerary.

Border Region and Bus Connection

The Czech-Slovak gathering at Peňažné takes place at the state border together with the partner municipality of Horná Súča every year on the second-to-last Saturday in August. This annual event connects Rokytnice with a recurring occasion in the border region.
