Landscape and Surroundings

Racková lies in a valley below a forest of the same name. The town is also situated at the transition between the Hostýnské vrchy and the Vizovické vrchy, offering views of the surrounding landscape. If the landscape matters to your travel plans, both the location and the views are specific points of interest.

Another local point of interest lies nearby: between Racková and Žeranovice, in the Hrádek area, there is a well-preserved remnant of a fortified medieval manor that is clearly visible in the terrain. Hrádek is a distinct historical point of interest, while the valley, forest, and views define Racková’s landscape.

Traditions and Events

Hanácké právo is a festival revived in Racková that takes place approximately every ten years. If you would like to plan your trip around this festival, check the specific date, as the interval is only approximate.

During Starý hanácký právo, a procession through the town, stopping at individual houses, is part of the proceedings. There, humorous misdeeds by residents are recounted; the accusations avoid personal attacks or insults. In this way, the custom combines a route through the town with humorous presentations at individual houses. On April 11, 2022, the Council of the Zlín Region added Starý hanácký právo to the regional list of intangible elements of traditional folk culture.

The traditional Vodění medvěda is one of Racková’s cultural events. In addition, the Racková Volunteer Firefighters’ Association holds an annual fire sport competition. By comparison, Hanácké právo takes place approximately every ten years.
