Discover Brumov-Bylnice: Castle, Culture and Activities

Brumov-Bylnice offers several distinct points of interest for a stay: the ruins of Hrad Brumov, cultural monuments and historical landmarks, as well as trails and sports facilities. You can consider the town according to the focus of your trip—for example, cultural history, outdoor activities or sports. These themes can help you decide whether Brumov-Bylnice fits your travel plans.

Castle and views of the town and valley

Hrad Brumov is the ruin of a royal castle dating from the early 13th century and a prominent landmark of Brumov-Bylnice. The walls offer views of the historic town centre and the mountains along the valley of Vlárský průsmyk. From the castle, you can take in both the historic centre and the mountain landscape.

The castle also has a permanent indoor exhibition in partially preserved rooms both below and above ground. The site thus combines the ruins with an exhibition in its preserved areas. If you are interested in the history of the place, you can consider the walls and their views, as well as the indoor exhibition, as distinct aspects of Hrad Brumov.

Cultural monuments and historical landmarks

The Jewish cemetery in Brumov-Bylnice is one of the significant cultural monuments in the Zlín Region and is open year-round. Check the latest access information before your visit. From Hrad Brumov, you can reach the cemetery on foot or by bicycle via a green-marked hiking trail; the route is about two kilometres long. This connection offers a practical way to include both the castle and the cemetery in your day’s plans.

Another historical destination is the workers’ settlement in Sidonie. It consists of wooden terraced houses and documents the living standards of glassworkers at Staré huť, later Sidonie, from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A surviving communal outdoor bread oven is the settlement’s defining feature. The terraced houses and the oven illustrate two distinct characteristics of this historic residential area.

The Brumov-Bylnice Museum has its own highlights: it features a Valašská jizbička and an exhibition of historic irons. These exhibits complement the historic buildings and outdoor sites with further specific themes.

Trails, green spaces and sports facilities

The Lesopark in Brumov-Bylnice is a green space for relaxing and picnicking. Its facilities include play equipment and barbecue areas along the Bevlava cycling route.

The outdoor and indoor pools differ in their design, while the running track, tennis courts and winter stadium broaden the range of facilities.
