Discover Brumovice: Nature, Cycling Routes and History

Brumovice can be explored through several specific themes: the Hořina Nature Reserve, two cycling routes, the Pocheň recreation area and historic buildings.

Hořina Natural Area

The Hořina Nature Reserve extends across the cadastral areas of Brumovice u Opavy and Velké Heraltice. It protects wet meadows with an original population of the Carpathian crocus (Crocus heuffelianus).

If you are interested in protected landscapes or plants, you can consider Hořina as a dedicated nature focus for your trip. Wet meadows and the Carpathian crocus distinguish this natural area from cycling and the historic buildings also associated with Brumovice.
