These topics have different focuses and offer you points of reference for getting to know the town. If you are looking for a hotel in Strahovice, these local features can help you weigh up the destination based on your interests. The cycling routes, in particular, can be distinguished by their locations, junctions and directions.

Churches, a chapel and historic granaries

The Kostel sv. Augustina church dates from 1924. The Kaple Panny Marie Schonstattské chapel was built in the Neo-Gothic style using red bricks. The buildings can be classified according to different features: the church’s year of construction is its specific point of reference, while the chapel is defined by its style and building material. Strahovice is also home to two timber-framed granaries, preserved as traditional agricultural buildings from the mid-19th century. They broaden the perspective to include rural agricultural architecture and differ in building type from the religious structures. A pilgrim stone at the municipal office in Strahovice is associated with the destination of Santiago. This means the cultural perspective encompasses not only buildings but also a distinct pilgrimage connection. Year of construction, architectural style, building type and pilgrimage marker offer you different ways to organise the town’s cultural themes.

Erratic boulders and vegetation nearby

Two large erratic boulders are among Strahovice’s attractions. Another natural feature lies near Strahovice: rare ruderal vegetation grows in a sand quarry. These two details point to different features and locations: the erratic boulders are among the attractions in Strahovice, while the vegetation is found in a nearby quarry. If nature is a factor in your travel decision, you can consider these two points of interest separately.

Distinguishing cycling routes by their itineraries

The routes’ different reference points are useful for cyclists. Cycling Route 552 runs from Opava via Chlebičov, Svoboda and Kobeřice to the Strahovice/Krzanowice border crossing. It runs away from roads used by motor vehicles. Route 6055 passes through Strahovice, crosses Route 552 there, and continues towards Chuchelnický les and Albertovec. This gives Route 6055 a specific crossing point in Strahovice, while Route 552 can be identified by its sequence of locations and the border crossing.

The Moravian-Silesian Route runs from the Polish border near Strahovice to Opava along a cycle path. Opava is therefore mentioned in descriptions of both Route 552 and the Moravian-Silesian Route, but in opposite directions: on Route 552, it is the starting point; on the Moravian-Silesian Route, it is the destination. This information can help you compare the routes by their geographical orientation. Conditions and markings may change, so check the latest route information before setting off.

Mini golf as another activity

The mini golf course in Strahovice can also be rented. It is another option alongside the cycling routes described above. As rental arrangements may change, check the current terms in advance.
