Lazníčky between rolling hills and local history

Lazníčky is located in the Tršická pahorkatina between Olomouc and Lipník nad Bečvou, north of Přerov. The village lies at the foot of the Nízký Jeseník and the Oderské vrchy. Its surroundings combine several named landscape features with historical traces from the Middle Ages and from the history of education and architecture. This offers different perspectives for planning your trip: the rolling landscape, the village’s history and routes on foot or by bike.

Rolling Hills and Watercourses

The landscape of the Tršická pahorkatina is characterized by rounded hills, plateaus, slopes and valleys. Rural settlements, fields, hop gardens and forests alternate among these landforms. The surroundings thus bring together fields and hop gardens with wooded areas and valleys, without being limited to a single type of landscape. If you take your surroundings into account when choosing a destination, this mix offers a clear sense of the region’s rural character.

A stream also features in the geographical description of Lazníčky. It rises north of the village centre, flows south through the village and empties into the Říka; from there, its course continues to the Bečva. Its source, direction of flow and the names of the two rivers place the watercourse in its landscape context. The map therefore reveals a local feature distinct from the description of the hills, slopes and valleys.

History of the Settlement, School and Chapel

The settlement from which Lazníčky later developed is documented in writing from 1365. Three years after compulsory schooling was introduced in 1775, Lazníčky had a school for pupils from Lazníky, Výkleky, Zakřov, Svrčov and Lazníčky. The school thus served children from several villages, reaching beyond Lazníčky itself.

In 1885, up to 250 children attended the school in Lazníčky. The Chapel of the Beheading of St John the Baptist (Stětí sv. Jana Křtitele) also dates from that year. Both details draw attention to different aspects of the village’s history: the scale of school attendance at the time and a specific building. Together with the settlement’s early mention, they form a timeline from its medieval history to educational and architectural traces from the 19th century.

Walking and Cycling Routes

A green-marked hiking trail runs through Lazníčky along the Přerov–Tršice–Lazníčky–Veselíčko section. The sequence of villages shows how this section fits in with the other places named along the route. Signage and trail conditions may change, so check the route before setting out.

Cycle Route 6058 connects Tršice, Lazníčky, Výkleky, Veselíčko and Hranice na Moravě. The sequence of places provides a geographical framework for planning a cycling trip. Trail conditions and signage may change, so it is advisable to check the current route before you set off. The hiking trail is described as a green-marked section through Lazníčky, while the cycle route connects several places as far as Hranice na Moravě. This lets you compare the two options by mode of transport and by the respective places named along each route.

Cycling trips also offer different points of interest: one includes a visit to the Žalov monument, while another includes swimming in the Výkleky quarry. Conditions along the route and access details for the monument may change. Access to the water and safety conditions at the quarry may also change. If you plan these activities, check the relevant conditions in advance. Visiting the monument and swimming are distinct excursion options that you can consider separately when planning your trip.
