Rusín: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The Chapel of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary rises on the 314-metre-high Rusínský kopec, the last foothill of the Osoblažská pahorkatina.

Culture

The Church of St Michael in Hrozová was restored between 2010 and 2015. The parish church complex, including the surrounding wall of the adjacent cemetery, is listed in the register of immovable cultural monuments of the Bruntál District. The church can be visited free of charge by prior arrangement.

The Madonna from Hrozová belongs to the relatively rare iconographic type known as the Madonna of the Rosary. It is currently on display in the exhibition building of the Silesian Museum in Opava.

The Hrozovské slavnosti was a traditional annual gathering of current and former residents of Hrozová and their friends, organised by the Královský stolec association.

Landscape

The landscape around Matějovice was shaped by ice cover during the Quaternary ice ages. After the ice retreated, it left behind stony moraines and sand deposits.

Nature

The Matějovice Cave is a natural attraction in a sandstone rock. Its original entrance is buried; the cave is currently accessible through an artificially created entrance.

Cycling and Getting There

Public transport options to Rusín include a bus connection and the Třemešná ve Slezsku–Osoblaha narrow-gauge railway. From one of its stops, you can continue on foot or by bicycle. Cycle Route 3 in the Osoblažsko region passes through Hrozová, Rusín and Matějovice.
