Discover Napajedla
Accommodation in Napajedla
Napajedla brings together historic buildings and a museum with marked trails, a forest park and a tourist waterway. This gives you a range of themes to explore during your stay: you can delve into the architecture and history of the town, or experience the landscape on walks and designated routes. The following points can help you weigh up your interests when looking for a hotel in Napajedla.
Trails and views around Napajedla
The Stezky Napajedelských emirátů form a 70-kilometre network of marked trails. They connect Napajedla with surrounding municipalities and offer beautiful views. The trails are intended for pedestrians and mountain bikers. This gives you a concrete framework for planning: the routes cater both to people who want to get around on foot and to mountain bikers. The Cyrilometodějská Trail route from Jablunkov to Velehrad also passes through Napajedla. This is another way to place the town on a long-distance route, while the 70-kilometre network describes its connections with surrounding municipalities.
Lesopark Kalvárie is on a hill above the town and offers walks with beautiful views. The Lesoparkem Kalvárie nature trail features playful educational elements and animal sounds alongside information about nature. The trail also includes a forest playground with a climbing feature. Individual installations may change over time. The site thus combines nature themes and playful elements, while the walks and views offer another focus for your outing.
BaĹĄa Canal: history and activities on the water
The BaĹĄa Canal is a historic, 52-kilometre waterway. It was built between 1935 and 1938 and connected Otrokovice with Rohatec. Today, the canal serves as a tourist waterway and offers opportunities for boating, water tourism and cycling. Its history and use as a waterway offer two distinct perspectives: the construction period and the connection between the two towns tell the story of historic infrastructure; the activities mentioned show what kinds of leisure interests the canal caters to today. So, if you are weighing up different activities, walking or mountain biking on trails is distinct from the options available around a waterway.
Stud farm, castle and historic architecture
The Napajedla Stud Farm is a uniquely well-preserved example of distinctive agricultural architecture from the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The architecture is associated with organised horse breeding and has no counterpart in the region. The stud farm is also designated a cultural monument. Here, the history of architecture and the history of horse breeding come together; its monument designation is a distinct and clearly identifiable aspect of its cultural background.
Napajedla Castle is a detached, U-shaped, two-winged building in the late French Baroque style. Its historic rooms include a round Hall of Mirrors. The castle is surrounded by a ten-hectare park, laid out mostly in the English style. It contains numerous rare trees and a romantic pond with water lilies. This lets you consider the building’s form and style alongside the design of the park. The late Baroque Church of St. Bartholomew adds a clear historical date to the impression: it was completed in 1712 and consecrated in 1741.
Museum and practical information
The permanent exhibitions at the Napajedla Museum explore the town’s history and the industrial companies that have had a significant influence on life in Napajedla. Another permanent exhibition, “Hřiště hraček,” features toys by Libuše Niklová and Alfréd Klug. The exhibition was conceived by the artist Petr Nikl. The museum thus focuses both on the town’s development and on a specific theme in toy design.
The Napajedla Museum is fully wheelchair-accessible from the courtyard of the New Monastery. It has accessible parking spaces and bicycle racks. Pilgrims in Napajedla can access free drinking water for refilling bottles, toilets, Wi-Fi, a phone-charging facility, a first-aid kit and luggage storage. This information can help you take different needs into account when planning your stay, without losing sight of the town’s cultural and landscape themes.
