This part of Moravia in the Czech Republic offers an incredibly diverse mix of experiences that will satisfy history lovers, admirers of modern architecture, and families with young children alike. You&#8217;ll find everything here, from deep caves to flat cycle paths tracing lazily flowing rivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last time Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I tested the Olomouc Advent markets, we were completely enchanted by that <strong>genuine festive calm without the usual rush<\/strong>. The rest of the region, though, invites exploring during the warmer months, when the baroque gardens light up in full colour and the gates of majestic castles swing open. If you&#8217;re looking for a destination where you won&#8217;t be bored for a single moment, head out to discover the secrets of Han\u00e1 and Wallachia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this comprehensive guide we&#8217;ll take a look together at the <strong>fifteen most beautiful places in Central Moravia<\/strong> that truly deserve your attention. I&#8217;ll show you where to find the best accommodation, how to plan a programme with kids, and which local treats you definitely shouldn&#8217;t miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>  <strong>Historic gem of the region:<\/strong> Olomouc hides the largest baroque sculptural group in Central Europe and a unique astronomical clock in the spirit of socialist realism.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Castle splendour:<\/strong> The Archbishop&#8217;s Ch\u00e2teau in Krom\u011b\u0159\u00ed\u017e boasts the country&#8217;s second most valuable picture gallery and gorgeous gardens on the UNESCO list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Architectural marvel:<\/strong> Zl\u00edn will amaze you with Ba\u0165a functionalism and the famous skyscraper with a director&#8217;s office built right inside the lift.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Fairy-tale castles:<\/strong> Bouzov Castle is familiar from many beloved Czech fairy tales, while Helf\u0161t\u00fdn draws visitors with its modern glass roofing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Natural beauty:<\/strong> Litovelsk\u00e9 Pomorav\u00ed offers flat cycle paths and the town of Litovel rightfully carries the nickname the Venice of Han\u00e1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Family fun:<\/strong> Kids will love the huge zoo at Svat\u00fd Kope\u010dek or the interactive Fortress of Knowledge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Central Moravia is beautiful all year round, but <strong>you&#8217;ll enjoy it most from late spring to early autumn<\/strong>. During this time all the castles and ch\u00e2teaux are open in full operation, the ch\u00e2teau gardens in Krom\u011b\u0159\u00ed\u017e glow in every colour, and the weather practically begs you to take long bike rides along the Morava River. The summer months bring the warmest weather, but you&#8217;ll have to expect larger crowds of tourists at the most famous spots. If you long for more peace on a summer weekend, avoid the crowded gardens in Krom\u011b\u0159\u00ed\u017e and head instead to the quiet forests of the Ch\u0159iby hills or the picturesque Litovelsk\u00e9 Pomorav\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">September is an absolutely <strong>ideal time to visit Slov\u00e1cko<\/strong>, because the whole region comes alive with grand wine festivals and folklore celebrations. Uhersk\u00e9 Hradi\u0161t\u011b hosts the renowned Slov\u00e1cko Wine Festival, when the streets fill with people in colourful traditional costumes and everyone tastes bur\u010d\u00e1k (young fermenting wine). At the end of August, Helf\u0161t\u00fdn Castle comes alive with a huge event called Hefaiston, an international gathering of artistic blacksmiths from all over Europe. Fans of heavy music should meanwhile mark the summer months in Vizovice on their calendars, home to the big international Masters of Rock festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If, on the other hand, you long for a romantic winter atmosphere, head to Olomouc in December for the <strong>famous Advent markets<\/strong>, which many travellers consider the loveliest in the whole country. To explore the best of the region I recommend setting aside at least a long weekend. Ideally, plan for <strong>a full five to seven days<\/strong>, so you can visit the architectural gems and natural wonders without needless rushing. The towns of Olomouc, Krom\u011b\u0159\u00ed\u017e and Zl\u00edn form a handy triangle on the map that can be comfortably driven around in just a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_in_South_Moravia_and_the_Central_region\"><\/span>Where to stay in South Moravia and the Central region<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The choice of accommodation in Central Moravia is genuinely varied and depends mainly on which part of the region you primarily want to explore. Olomouc, Krom\u011b\u0159\u00ed\u017e and Zl\u00edn form a <strong>handy imaginary triangle<\/strong> that can be comfortably driven around in three to four days.

The heart of the city is the Upper Square, dominated by the <strong>Holy Trinity Column<\/strong>, the largest baroque sculptural group in Central Europe, listed by UNESCO since 2000. Inside this majestic monument there&#8217;s even a small chapel, which makes it a genuine world-class rarity. Just a short walk away stands the town hall with its unique heliocentric astronomical clock, which took its current form in the 1950s in the style of socialist realism \u2014 so instead of the traditional saints, figures of workers and scientists rotate on it. The chimes play every day at exactly noon, so it&#8217;s worth planning your stroll through the centre for that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you explore the city you&#8217;ll come across <strong>six baroque fountains<\/strong>, including for example the Caesar, Hercules, Mercury and Jupiter fountains. The local councillors once had them built rather than replacing them with a single large reservoir after the water supply was constructed, creating an utterly unique set of works of art. You definitely shouldn&#8217;t overlook the Cathedral of St Wenceslas either, which boasts the tallest church tower in Moravia, reaching an impressive height of one hundred metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking for shelter from bad weather, head to the interactive Fortress of Knowledge museum, housed in a former military warehouse and run by the local university. For lunch or a snack, try one of the local pubs serving specialities made from <strong>genuine Olomouc cheese (tvar\u016f\u017eky)<\/strong>. This cheese with protected designation of origin is completely vegetarian, and local cooks can conjure up excellent savoury pies and meat-free soups that will warm you up nicely in cooler weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Interested in this city in more detail? <strong>Read our article<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/things-to-do-olomouc-czech-republic\/\">What to see in Olomouc: the complete guide<\/a>, where you&#8217;ll find plenty more inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Kromeriz\"><\/span>2.

The ch\u00e2teau interiors are incredibly richly decorated, and this is exactly where <strong>Milo\u0161 Forman&#8217;s famous film Amadeus<\/strong> was shot, along with the acclaimed film The Unbearable Lightness of Being. The greatest jewel, however, is the ch\u00e2teau picture gallery, which holds the second most valuable art collection in the whole country after Prague&#8217;s National Gallery.

Back then it acquired its typical romantic look with many turrets, battlements and drawbridges, making it one of the most photogenic places in the country. It&#8217;s no wonder, then, that filmmakers absolutely fell in love with it and choose it for shoots very often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its courtyards and grand chambers hosted the shooting of <strong>legendary fairy tales such as Arabela<\/strong>, The Tale of Princess Jasn\u011bnka and the Flying Cobbler, and the popular Italian fantasy series Fantaghir\u00f2. During the interior tour you&#8217;ll see beautifully carved furniture and rich collections of historic weapons that are sure to captivate not only adults but also little explorers.

The entire city, built from its characteristic red brick, was commissioned by the famous Ba\u0165a company, which created a fascinating urban concept combining industry with living in greenery. A walk through the city centre and its sprawling parks is like a journey back in time to the era of the greatest industrial boom of the First Republic, when a small town grew into an enormous global shoe-making empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest draw is the legendary <strong>Ba\u0165a skyscraper, also known as Building 21<\/strong>, which in its day was the very tallest structure in all of Czechoslovakia. Its greatest curiosity and absolute technological marvel is the movable director&#8217;s office set right inside a spacious lift. This office was even fitted with its own air conditioning and a washbasin, which for the time represented unheard-of luxury and a showcase of technical progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today you can <strong>go up to the roof of the skyscraper<\/strong>, from where a stunning view opens up over the precisely arranged colonies of typical Ba\u0165a houses and the sprawling factory complex. If you&#8217;re interested in the history of shoe-making in greater depth, be sure to also visit the cultural centre <strong>14|15 Ba\u0165a Institute<\/strong>, created by a generous conversion of two old factory buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Want to know how to <strong>plan a route<\/strong> around the best architectural gems?

This gifted architect masterfully combined Art Nouveau with traditional elements of Wallachian folk architecture. The most photographed building is undoubtedly the colourful Jurkovi\u010d House, which looks as though it fell out of an illustration in some old book, and to this day serves as a popular luxury spa hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides sipping the spring waters and admiring the architecture, you can also enjoy pleasant <strong>walks through the spa parks<\/strong>, which are full of carefully tended flower beds.

The whole complex is dominated by the gorgeous Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Saints Cyril and Methodius, which amazes with its richly decorated interiors and majestic towers. The place is closely linked to the arrival of the Slavic missionaries, and every July thousands of pilgrims come here for the grand traditional celebrations full of emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just a short walk from Velehrad is the <strong>fascinating Modr\u00e1 Archaeological Open-Air Museum<\/strong>, which offers a perfect reconstruction of a Great Moravian fortified settlement. You can walk among the reed-thatched huts, watch ancient craftsmen at work, and see with your own eyes what everyday life was like for our ancestors in the ninth century. It&#8217;s a fantastic experience especially for families with children, as the site feels immensely lively and authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both of these places are easy to combine into one packed <strong>full-day trip<\/strong>, as both lie just a few minutes&#8217; walk from each other. While the basilica offers space for quiet contemplation and admiring grand historic architecture, the open-air museum instantly pulls you \u2014 and especially your children \u2014 into the action. You can easily <strong>check the archaeological site&#8217;s entrance fee and the basilica&#8217;s opening hours<\/strong> on their websites before your trip, as prices sometimes change with the current tourist season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: In Modr\u00e1, definitely don&#8217;t miss the nearby and very popular <strong>Living Water exhibition<\/strong>, where you walk through a unique <strong>glass tunnel right beneath the surface<\/strong> of a pond full of giant beluga sturgeon and carp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Buchlov_and_Buchlovice\"><\/span>9.

The medieval Buchlov Castle rises proudly on a high wooded ridge of the Ch\u0159iby mountains and, even from afar, looks like an impregnable stone fortress from the days of ancient knights. From its mighty walls and lookout towers you get fantastic panoramic views over the whole surrounding landscape, especially in autumn, when the surrounding deciduous forests turn incredible shades of red and gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A completely different experience is offered by the <strong>baroque Buchlovice ch\u00e2teau<\/strong>, which lies just a few kilometres lower down in the picturesque foothills. This ch\u00e2teau was built in the style of Italian country villas and is surrounded by a gorgeous English park full of rare trees and freely roaming peacocks that lend the whole place a stately atmosphere. So in a single day you can experience both the harsh medieval reality and the polished elegance of a ch\u00e2teau. You&#8217;ll best find the exact information about the tour routes of both landmarks on their official websites, where you can also secure tickets in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: The route between the rugged castle and the romantic ch\u00e2teau leads through the beautiful <strong>wooded nature of the Ch\u0159iby hills<\/strong> and offers plenty of stops for <strong>short hikes<\/strong> or an afternoon picnic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"stredni morave\" lang=\"en\" --><!-- LKM_GYG_CARD end -->\n\n\n\n\n<div

It&#8217;s unique above all in that you have to pass through an incredible seven gates in succession before you reach the very heart of the castle on the highest courtyard. A walk through the whole complex is quite a decent sporting feat, but it rewards you with the sight of precise medieval building craft that protected the important trade route through the Moravian Gate for centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020 the dilapidated ruin of the castle palace underwent a fascinating and very bold reconstruction, during which it gained a <strong>modern glass roof and an ingenious system of steel walkways<\/strong>. This architectural solution sensitively links the historic masonry with modern design and has rightfully won a number of prestigious international awards, so before your visit be sure to check the details on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helfstyn.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Helf\u0161t\u00fdn Castle website<\/a>. Every year at the end of August the castle comes alive with a huge event called Hefaiston, an international gathering of artistic blacksmiths from all over Europe, whose stunning works adorn many of the castle courtyards and form a permanent exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: From the highest castle tower there&#8217;s an absolutely <strong>superb 360\u00b0 view<\/strong> over the whole vast <strong>Moravian Gate area<\/strong>, and on a clear day you can see incredibly far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Litovel_and_Litovelske_Pomoravi\"><\/span>11.

The water romantically runs right beneath the main square here, lines the ancient walls, and lends the whole little town a very unusual and incredibly calm atmosphere that you&#8217;ll fall in love with at first sight. Sitting in one of the local caf\u00e9s with a view of the lazily flowing water is the best way to recharge in this town before heading out to explore again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right beyond the town gates begins the <strong>Litovelsk\u00e9 Pomorav\u00ed<\/strong> Protected Landscape Area, a true paradise for all lovers of pristine nature and active relaxation. You&#8217;ll find vast floodplain forests here, oxbow lakes full of rare water birds, and wetlands that in appearance resemble a small jungle wilderness in the middle of civilisation. The whole area is absolutely ideal for easy cycling, as it&#8217;s completely flat with plenty of perfectly maintained cycle paths. If you&#8217;re looking to escape the tourist crowds, this is exactly the right direction for your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: In Litovel you can <strong>rent a boat or paddleboard<\/strong> in the summer months and see the town from a completely different perspective, right from the water surface of one of the river branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Svaty_Kopecek\"><\/span>12.

Its main attraction is the <strong>monumental baroque pilgrimage Basilica of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary<\/strong>, reached from the city by a long historic avenue, which amazes with its richly decorated interiors and gorgeous frescoes.

Svat\u00fd Kope\u010dek can be reached very comfortably by regular public transport straight from the centre of Olomouc, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about the tricky parking that can be quite a problem on holiday weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Right in the <strong>zoo grounds<\/strong> there&#8217;s a tall <strong>steel lookout tower<\/strong>, from which, on a nice sunny day, you have the entire flat Han\u00e1 region laid out below you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Svaty_Hostyn\"><\/span>13.

On the very summit of the wooded hill above the town of Byst\u0159ice pod Host\u00fdnem stands the beautiful Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. A long monumental staircase leads up to the basilica from the foot of the hill, lined with little stalls where traditional gingerbread, holy pictures and all sorts of souvenirs have been sold for generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special and very detailed attention is also deserved by the <strong>original Way of the Cross from the early twentieth century<\/strong>, designed by the famous Slovak architect Du\u0161an Jurkovi\u010d. This path with colourful mosaics fits beautifully into the surrounding forest landscape and makes a magical spot for a quiet walk. There&#8217;s no entrance fee here, but bear in mind that you can&#8217;t drive up the hill in an ordinary car without a special permit, so you&#8217;ll have to use the regular bus service from Byst\u0159ice. At the top there&#8217;s also a modern wind turbine with a lookout tower, which creates an incredibly interesting contrast between deep history and the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: A short walk below the summit you&#8217;ll find a <strong>healing spring called the Water Chapel<\/strong>, where people from all around come to fill their bottles with the cool and supposedly miraculous water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Holesov\"><\/span>14.

The biggest landmark is the <strong>early baroque ch\u00e2teau with a gorgeous sprawling park<\/strong>, whose water channels form, from a bird&#8217;s-eye view, a unique layout in the shape of Neptune&#8217;s trident. The ch\u00e2teau park is freely accessible to the general public and makes an absolutely perfect spot for an afternoon picnic beneath the crowns of centuries-old trees, or for a romantic walk at sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A genuine world-class rarity, though, is the <strong>unassuming \u0160ach Synagogue<\/strong>, which rightfully ranks among the very best-preserved and most important Jewish monuments in the whole Czech Republic. Its inconspicuous exterior hides richly decorated wooden ceilings and ancient texts, and you&#8217;ll find the current guided tour options on the town&#8217;s information portals. Inseparable from the synagogue is the nearby mysterious Jewish cemetery with the tomb of the famous Rabbi \u0160ach, to which pilgrims from all over the world travel every year. Hole\u0161ov is simply an ideal stop if you want to avoid the biggest crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Definitely <strong>take the synagogue tour with a local guide<\/strong>, as the stories connected with the local Jewish community are immensely fascinating and full of emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Vizovice\"><\/span>15.

The main tourist draw here is the <strong>famous Rudolf Jel\u00ednek distillery<\/strong>, where you can go on a very popular tour and follow, with a guide, the whole fascinating process of making genuine Moravian slivovitz (plum brandy). At the end of the tour there&#8217;s of course the much-anticipated tasting, after which you can buy special editions of the spirits in the company shop that you certainly won&#8217;t find in ordinary supermarkets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The town also boasts a beautiful <strong>baroque Vizovice ch\u00e2teau<\/strong>, which offers richly furnished interiors with extensive collections of period paintings and rare porcelain. It&#8217;s always best to check the ch\u00e2teau&#8217;s opening hours and the exact distillery tour times on their official websites, as the capacity often fills up quickly. In the summer months Vizovice also transforms into the capital of heavy music, as it hosts the huge international Masters of Rock festival. The area around the town is threaded with hiking trails that reliably lead you up to the ridges of the Vizovice Hills with stunning views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: If you&#8217;re heading <strong>to Vizovice in summer<\/strong> for the festival, secure your <strong>accommodation well in advance<\/strong>, as the whole wider area tends to be booked out months ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Central_Moravia_with_kids_the_best_family_tips\"><\/span>Central Moravia with kids: the best family tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travelling with children requires a slightly different approach and more careful planning, so that no one is bored for a single moment and everyone enjoys the holiday in complete comfort.

A family ticket for two adults and two children costs a favourable \u20ac21 or so (520 K\u010d), but <strong>watch out for the parking fee<\/strong>.

The <strong>Javo\u0159\u00ed\u010dko Caves<\/strong>, with their absolutely fantastic dripstone decoration, feel to children like a journey into a real fairy-tale realm full of petrified giants and quirky shapes. But be sure to bring a warm hoodie for everyone, including yourself, because even in the hottest August summer it stays quite chilly here, and the tour of the whole complex takes just under an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a proper dose of history in the fresh air, head to the <strong>Modr\u00e1 Archaeological Open-Air Museum near Velehrad<\/strong>, which is sure to pull children into the action and not let go. It&#8217;s no boring museum with dusty display cases, but a living and very authentic recreation of a Great Moravian settlement. Here children can see the dark semi-sunken dwellings first-hand, try archery under supervision, or enthusiastically pet the freely roaming farm animals that give the whole site just the right historic atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_it_rains_the_Fortress_of_Knowledge_and_the_Bata_Institute\"><\/span>When it rains: the Fortress of Knowledge and the Ba\u0165a Institute<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a77cbaa0b11b&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a77cbaa0b11b\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zl-institut.jpg\" alt=\"The 14|15 Ba\u0165a Institute building in Zl\u00edn\" class=\"wp-image-241202\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zl-institut.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zl-institut-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zl-institut-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zl-institut-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zl-institut-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zl-institut-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zl-institut-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/zl-institut-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly you can&#8217;t order the weather on holiday, so it&#8217;s always good to have a solid plan B for rainy days.

Absolutely ideal in this respect is the <strong>Ch\u00e2teau Garden in Krom\u011b\u0159\u00ed\u017e<\/strong>, which is perfectly flat with very wide, firm sandy paths. You can wander here for hours in the pleasant shade of mature trees, watch the wild peacocks while your child sleeps peacefully, and on top of that, entry to this sprawling part of the gardens is completely free all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Great and very safe pushchair routes are also offered by the <strong>Smetana Gardens in Olomouc<\/strong>, where you&#8217;ll find endlessly long asphalt avenues, plenty of benches to rest on, and beautifully maintained flower beds. If you prefer wilder nature to city parks on your walks, set off on the smooth cycle path running along the Morava River in the Litovelsk\u00e9 Pomorav\u00ed Protected Landscape Area. This terrain is absolutely safe and comfortable for smooth pushchair travel, and the whole way you breathe wonderfully clean forest air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_eat_in_Central_Moravia\"><\/span>Where to eat in Central Moravia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The food scene in Central Moravia is incredibly varied, blending honest historic traditions with modern culinary trends. The absolute most famous local product is of course the <strong>famous Olomouc cheese (tvar\u016f\u017eky)<\/strong>, the only original Czech cheese with protected designation of origin, and one that&#8217;s also completely vegetarian. It&#8217;s characterised by a strongly pungent flavour and a very unmistakable, distinctive aroma that may put some people off at first \u2014 but once you taste it, you&#8217;ll probably become a fan. It&#8217;s made in the nearby town of Lo\u0161tice, where, besides the factory itself, you&#8217;ll also find a great cheese museum and local restaurants that prepare excellent meat-free soups, savoury pies and incredibly original sweet desserts from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Han\u00e1 region is also famous far and wide for its sweets, so on your travels you simply must taste the <strong>traditional Han\u00e1 pastries (kol\u00e1\u010de)<\/strong>, which are generously filled with soft quark and topped with a sweet crumble. In Wallachia, meanwhile, every good bakery will have huge round frg\u00e1ly cakes with pear, poppy-seed or plum-jam fillings, which reliably satisfy a sweet tooth after a long, demanding trip. The regional cuisine also offers a range of heartier meat dishes that will please lovers of the classics; in Han\u00e1 a typical speciality is the rich Han\u00e1 sv\u00ed\u010dkov\u00e1 (marinated beef in cream sauce), while Slov\u00e1cko is famous for its honest Slov\u00e1cko sausages, which waft from every stall at the autumn festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you wander through sunny Slov\u00e1cko, it would be a huge mistake not to taste the <strong>excellent Moravia wines<\/strong>, which are an inseparable part of the local culture and folklore. The passionate local winemakers grow wonderful varieties of both white and red wine, and an evening spent in a cool wine cellar with a glass in hand is the best possible way to end a day of sightseeing. If you prefer something stronger to warm up in cooler weather, then in Wallachia every lover of honest, quality fruit slivovitz will get their fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_tips_transport_festivals_and_reservations\"><\/span>Practical tips: transport, festivals and reservations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>  <strong>Excellent rail access:<\/strong> Olomouc lies right on the main railway corridor, so it&#8217;s very well connected across the country and easy to reach by fast train.

Olomouc also lies directly on the main railway corridor from Prague.
