Stříbrnice: Culture and Nature

For planning your trip, Stříbrnice offers two distinct highlights: the sacred buildings dedicated to St. Procopius and the landscape of the Stříbrnické paseky. If you are looking for a hotel in Stříbrnice, you can use these to help choose your destination: would you mainly like to explore architectural history, or are nature and excursions your priority? Details of both topics offer specific points to consider when making this decision.

Chapel and Church of St. Procopius

The Chapel of St. Procopius was built in 1749–1750 and is High Baroque in style. Its bell was cast in Brno in 1692 and is still in use today; the chapel was fully restored in 2009. The dates mark different periods in its history: the bell is older than the building, and the restoration was a later phase.

The Church of St. Procopius, by contrast, is Neo-Romanesque and was consecrated on November 11, 1908. Its portal is adorned with an image of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus etched in glass. The main tower is 33.30 meters high. The two distinct buildings stand side by side: the chapel’s construction date, bell, and restoration offer points of reference, while the church’s style, consecration, portal, and tower do the same.

Stříbrnické paseky: Landscape and Nature

The Stříbrnické paseky are significant for their landscape and natural features; they were declared a nature park in 1993. The character of the Pasekar settlement has been preserved there to this day. The area is dry and enjoys a warm climate. Deposits of windblown loess and sand support many heat-loving plants and animals. The settlement pattern, soil, and conditions that support these species together shape the landscape character described here.

The rock formation Čertovo sedlo is also located in the forest of the Stříbrnické paseky. It adds a specific named natural feature to the picture of the landscape. While dryness, warmth, and soil conditions describe characteristics of the area, Čertovo sedlo is a single rock formation within the forest.

Walking and Cycling Excursions

A walking and cycling excursion from Stříbrnice passes through the Stříbrnické paseky to the nearby Smrďavka recreational area. The Lázně Leopoldov spa is part of this area. This gives you a named destination for planning an excursion, which you can reach via the Paseky; check current trail conditions before setting out.

A route description published in 2016 takes the Velkomoravská poutní cesta cycle route through the Stříbrnické paseky. It gives the route’s length as four kilometers and describes it as following the original pilgrimage route to Velehrad exactly. The excursion connection to Smrďavka and the pilgrimage route can thus be distinguished: one identifies a recreational area as a destination, while the other specifies its length and connection to the original pilgrimage route. Also check current trail conditions before cycling this route.
