Discover Olbramice

Olbramice lies in the foothills of the Vítkovská pahorkatina and at the edge of the Oderské vrchy Nature Park. The landscape, local history and two cycling routes give the town a range of themes. If you are looking for a hotel in Olbramice, you can decide whether to focus your stay more on cycling, architectural history or the surrounding landscape.

Landscape and location

The references to the Vítkovská pahorkatina and the Oderské vrchy Nature Park describe different geographical connections: Olbramice lies in the foothills of the hilly region and at the edge of the nature park. The highest point in Olbramice is Vrchpolí, at 376 metres. This provides both a regional context and a specific location and elevation as points of reference.

Church and memorial sites

The Church of St Bartholomew has Gothic origins and was remodelled in the Baroque style around 1750. Its architectural history therefore includes an earlier origin and a later alteration. If you are interested in architecture, this sequence offers a way to trace changes in church architecture over time, without assigning the church to just one period.

A memorial linden tree stands by the church, with a trunk circumference of more than 668 centimetres. This measurement refers to the circumference of the trunk. The church and the linden tree thus offer two distinct local points of interest: architectural history and a notable natural feature.

Another memorial is a cross east of Olbramice, in the direction of Klimkovice. It was erected after the First World War in memory of Alois, the son lost in the First World War. Together with the memorial linden tree, it is one of the places where remembrance is made visible in the landscape.

Cycling routes and how they differ

Cycling route No. 6011 runs from Bartošovice via Studénka, Velké Albrechtice, Bílovec, Olbramice and Klimkovice to Polanka n. O. Route No. 6191 runs from Bravantice rozc. via Olbramice and Zbyslavice to the rozc. U Patra junction. The listed sequences of places help distinguish the two routes by their courses.

The condition of Route No. 6191 is also important: several sections are difficult to ride, so this route is suitable only for mountain bikes. Check current route information before setting out. You should also check the surface conditions before cycling Route No. 6011. This allows you to take both the route descriptions and the necessary preparations into account when planning.

Local history and events

The first written record of Olbramice dates from 1377. This provides a specific historical reference point for the town’s history. In addition to this early record, the church and the cross reflect different later periods; the cross commemorates an event from the period after the First World War.

Traditional events in Olbramice include the Olbramice Beer Festival. The “Den obce” event takes place at the end of August. If an event is important to your travel plans, check the dates for the relevant year. The two events offer different reasons to include Olbramice in your travel plans, while the landscape, architectural history and cycling routes can shape your choice of activities regardless.
