Dolní Nětčice: Chapel, film culture and cycle route 6137

If you are planning a trip to Dolní Nětčice and looking for a hotel, you can explore the place through three themes: religious and local history, film culture and cycling. The chapel and various memorials provide specific dates; the film museum is dedicated to the development of photography and film. Cycle route 6137 passes through the centre and leads from Helfštýn to Bystřice pod Hostýnem. When choosing your destination, you can therefore decide whether you are particularly interested in cultural history, film or a cycling route.

Chapel and memorials

The Chapel of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary stands in the centre of the village. It dates from 1902, and Mass is celebrated in the chapel. Its location and year of construction provide a specific reference point for local religious history, while its continued use for worship describes another aspect of the building.

At the lower end of the municipality is the memorial to those who fell in the First World War. It was erected in 1921 and renovated in 1956. The two dates refer to different events: 1921 marks its erection, and 1956 its renovation. Another historical memorial is the Kříž u Gadasovýho cross, dating from 1898. It stands on the right-hand side of the road from Dolní Nětčice to Rakov.

A statue of the Virgin Mary has stood in the park next to the chapel since July 1969. Another date of significance comes around each year in early May: in Dolní Nětčice, people then commemorate the tragic events of the war in 1945. This places permanent memorials with their construction dates alongside an annual event. If you are interested in local memorial culture, you can include both forms in your exploration of the place.

The local customs also include Vodění medvěda, a Shrovetide tradition organised in the municipality by the SDH Dolní Nětčice Volunteer Fire Brigade. Alongside the chapel and memorial, this custom represents a different form of cultural history: the focus here is a tradition organised by a local organisation, rather than a building with a single year of construction.

Film history at the municipal office

The Dolní Nětčice Film Museum is located in the municipal office building. Its exhibition of cameras and film cameras illustrates the history of the development of photography and film. On site, you can watch films on touchscreens and have recordings displayed using a large-screen projection. The museum’s themes therefore include both technical equipment and film screenings. If you plan to visit the film museum, check visiting options in advance.

Cycle route and landscape

Cycle route 6137 passes through the centre of Dolní Nětčice and leads from Helfštýn Castle to Bystřice pod Hostýnem. In the forest above the village, it connects to the Jantarová stezka. For navigation, this gives you several different points of reference: the route through the village, its two named endpoints and its connection to another trail in the forest.

The Dolnonětčický stream also shapes the description of the area: it flows through the entire municipality and rises below Maleník Hill. Its course through the municipality and its source below the hill provide two different points of reference for the landscape around Dolní Nětčice.
