Malá Štáhle: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The chapel of Malá Štáhle was built in 1759, is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, and houses a rare stained-glass window depicting the Stations of the Cross.

Culture and History

Malá Štáhle was founded around 1540 by Josef Pňovský of Sovinec. The traces of slate mining also tell the story of the region: piles of slate fragments in Malá Štáhle bear witness to the numerous former slate quarries. An educational trail following the traces of slate mining near Malá Štáhle presents the history and remains of local slate mining.

About half a kilometre from present-day Malá Štáhle, Wallhübel was located on the left bank of the Moravice. The site is not signposted and is difficult to identify in the terrain. Wallhübel may have served as a defensive structure guarding a ford across the Moravice, which lay on a presumed historic route between Silesia and Moravia.

Nature and Trails

The floodplain of the meandering Moravice also encompasses the cadastral area of Malá Štáhle. It is a breeding and refuge area for birds along an important Central European migration route.

One route runs through hilly terrain and offers beautiful views as far as the area above Dolní Moravice. In the vicinity of Velká Stáhle, there is also a newly established inline skating track with a shared path for cyclists and pedestrians.
