Modřice: Cultural History, Cycling Route and Natural Area

Modřice offers several specific points of interest for planning a trip: the Brněnská vinařská stezka, the Naučná stezka přírodním parkem Bobrava nature trail and buildings with clear historical references. You can plan your stay around an interest in cycling, the Bobrava natural area or architectural history.

Cycling Route and Nature Trail

In Modřice, the Brněnská vinařská stezka runs along Tyršova Street, through the CTP site and onward to the Bobrava. These local waypoints provide a concrete reference for cyclists. As the route may change, check its current course before setting out so your plans match it.

The Naučná stezka přírodním parkem Bobrava nature trail also passes through the cadastral area of Modřice in the Bobrava Valley. The two routes differ in how you might plan around them: on the Brněnská vinařská stezka, the focus is on local points along the route; on the nature trail, it is on its location in the Bobrava Valley. If you are choosing between the two, you can decide based on whether you would like to include a cycling route or the valley area.

Natural Area with Protection Requirements

Modřické rameno is a site of European importance, designated CZ 0620010. Only activities that do not adversely affect this important ecosystem are permitted in its surroundings. This requirement is relevant when planning nature-related activities: the key is to ensure they are compatible with protecting the ecosystem.

Cultural History Across Different Periods

The Church of sv. Gottharda has a Romanesque core dating from around the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries. The dedication inscription on the Boží muka wayside shrine bears the year 1604. Its south-facing niche contains a relief of the Crucifixion, with Mary Magdalene kneeling at the foot of the cross. The wayside shrine thus brings together a specific dedication date and a precisely described scene.

The Chapel of sv. Václava adds a 20th-century memorial to these historical points of reference. The Neo-Baroque chapel was built in 1917–1918 in memory of the citizens of Modřice who fell in the First World War. Inside is a relief of Saint Wenceslas from 1945 by Heřman and Karel Kotrba. The construction date, memorial purpose and date of the relief are thus connected historically: the relief was created after the chapel.

The dates refer to different things: 1604 belongs to the dedication inscription, around the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries to the church’s Romanesque core, 1917–1918 to the chapel’s construction and 1945 to the relief. This distinction helps keep the respective architectural and artistic references clear.
