Kobeřice Ve Slezsku – Culture, Nature and Cycle Paths

Kobeřice Ve Slezsku belongs to the Hlučínsko cultural region and lies in the Hlučínská pahorkatina uplands in the valley of the Bílý potok, also called the Oldřišovský potok. Travellers who want to consider different aspects of a trip side by side will find clearly distinguishable themes in culture, nature and cycle paths.

Culture

The Kostel Nanebevzetí Panny Marie church is Neo-Gothic and was built in 1895–1896 on the site of an older wooden church. Its 52-metre-high tower forms part of a three-nave layout in the shape of a Latin cross. The church also has a Stations of the Cross with 14 stations in Gothic frames, made by the C. Buhla workshop from Breslau.

In Mlýnská Street stands a group of 13 timber-framed granaries from the 18th and 19th centuries, recognised as examples of folk architecture. The oldest wooden granary dates from 1777.

In the western part of the Kobeřice parish area stands the Kaple svatého Urbana chapel beneath a centuries-old, broadly spreading lime tree. The Nejsvětější Trojice chapel lies between Kobeřice and Rohov. Čujkův mlýn is designated in Kobeřice as a technical monument and mill complex.

Landscape and Nature

The Kobeřické motýlí stráně are warm-loving dry grasslands on a slope of the gypsum quarry near Kobeřice. Protected and endangered species occur there; the area is also home to up to 32 species of diurnal butterflies. Visitors should not enter the fenced areas while sheep are grazing.

Nature-related themes can be weighted differently depending on the desired type of trip; landscape observation, culture and cycling are available as separate focal points.

Cycle Paths

The 16-kilometre cycle path 6054 leads from Velké Hoštice via Chlebičov, Oldřišov and Služovice, past St. Urban to Kobeřice, and onward to Střední Dvůr and Albertovec. The 14-kilometre cycle route 552 runs from Opava to Racibórz via Kobeřice to the Strahovice/Krzanowice border crossing and follows routes away from roads for motor vehicles.

The different route lengths help organise a cycling day according to the desired extent; the sequence of places and route layout also provide points of comparison for your own planning.

Festival Culture

The Koberský odpust is an annual three-day weekend festival held around 15 August, the feast day of the patron saint of the Kostel Nanebevzetí Panny Marie church. The festival includes a funfair, market stalls, an extensive cultural programme and screenings at the open-air cinema.
