Vepříkov: Chapel, Museum and Educational Trail

If you are looking for a hotel in Vepříkov, you can get a sense of the destination through its cultural and historical attractions and active pursuits. These include the chapel in the town centre, the Stodola krásných krámů Museum, the short Naučná stezka Vepříkovem educational trail and the traditional Tour de Vepříkov cycling event. The different themes offer different points of focus: everyday history, religious occasions, remembrance, local history and physical activity.

Culture and Local History

The Stodola krásných krámů Museum explores how people used to live, the objects and tools they used, and the crafts and other occupations practised in the region. The exhibition connects domestic life with the region’s working world. If you are interested in how people lived and worked in the past, this offers a tangible way to explore everyday history. Visits are available Monday to Sunday by telephone appointment; arrange your visit by phone.

The chapel in Vepříkov was built in 1936 and stands in the town centre. Services are held there for the pilgrimage and the church consecration festival. The World War I memorial commemorates 20 residents of Vepříkov who lost their lives in the First World War. The museum focuses on everyday life and occupations, the chapel on services held for specific occasions, and the memorial on remembering local residents. This allows you to explore the town’s cultural and historical themes according to your interests.

Educational Trail and Cycling Event

The Naučná stezka Vepříkovem is less than two kilometres long and introduces the history, present-day life and sights of Vepříkov. It therefore brings together more than a single historical site. If you would like to explore local history beyond one building, the educational trail offers a broader thematic look at the town. Its range of topics explicitly includes present-day life and local sights, too.

The Tour de Vepříkov has a sporting focus: it is a traditional cycling event in Vepříkov. In 2022, it was held for the 13th time. Unlike the educational trail, it offers a choice between two different activities: a route of less than two kilometres or a cycling event with a specifically dated 13th edition. If you want to plan your trip around the Tour, check the event date.

Events and Local Cuisine

In March 2022, local firefighters held the Vepřové hody in Vepříkov at the local inn. Dishes served included Prdelačka, Prejt and Kroupy, pork slaughter goulash, Ovar and grilled liver. A report from 2024 mentions a pond crossing organised by local hunters at the Vepříkovská lávka. The two examples differ in character: food takes centre stage at the Vepřové hody, while the pond crossing is an activity on the water.
