Květná: Glassmaking and nature trails

Květná combines a long glassmaking tradition with opportunities to spend time outdoors. The Sklárna Květná 1794 glassworks and its museum focus on glassmaking; the Naučná stezka Květná nature trail offers a different focus. This makes the destination appealing to travelers interested in the history of glass, as well as walkers and experienced cyclists.

Glassmaking tradition in Květná

The roots of the Sklárna Květná 1794 glassworks date back to 1794. It is one of the oldest continuously operating glassworks in Moravia. This gives its history two perspectives: the year points to its origins, while its continuous operation reflects the long-standing continuation of the glassmaking tradition. The glassworks states that its products are made entirely by hand. This brings historical context and artisanal production together as different ways of approaching the subject of glass. If you are particularly interested in the craft, you can consider its development over time and its production methods as two distinct aspects of the subject.

Museum and tours

The Sklárna Květná 1794 museum documents the development of glassmaking from its beginnings to the present day. Visitors can observe traditional glassmaking techniques there. The historical overview and the techniques on display complement each other: one spans the passage of time, while the other draws attention to the craft. You can therefore tailor your museum visit to whether you are more interested in the development of glassmaking or in traditional techniques.

Advance reservations are required for guided tours of the museum in Czech. As this requirement may change, check before your visit.

Nature trail and spring

The Naučná stezka Květná nature trail is suitable for walkers and experienced cyclists. Some sections pass through forest and meadows. When choosing how to get around, the distinction is clear: walkers are explicitly described as suitable, while cycling is recommended for experienced riders. The route description thus combines a specific landscape with different ways to use the trail.

Pramen U Cicůrku is a mountain spring in the Květná district of the municipality of Strání. If you would like to drink the water there, check its quality on site. For planning time in nature, the spring and the nature trail differ in form: the spring is a named natural site, while the trail is an activity along a route. You can choose between a specific natural site and getting active along the way.
