Oldřichov: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The chapel of the Holy Apostles Philip and James stands on the village square in Oldřichov. It was built in 1899–1900 to commemorate the great fire of 1874, which destroyed most of the houses in Oldřichov, and was consecrated in 1902.

Culture and Remembrance

In front of the chapel stands a cross from 1901, donated to the municipality by Anna Pumprlová. The war memorial at this site names three citizens who fell in the First World War and three who fell in the Second World War. Two commemorative lime trees stand beside the chapel cross and the war memorial; one was planted in 1938 and the other in 1948.

A statue of Our Lady of Svatý Hostýn from 1935 stands on the road towards Osek. The statue of Saint Joseph, the foster father, was brought to the municipality from Osek around 1960.

Cycling

Cycle Route No. 6240, the Amber Trail, runs through Oldřichov. A rest area for cyclists has been established opposite the municipal office.

Behind Oldřichov, Cycle Route No. 6239 runs along the Bečva, connecting Přerov and Lipník nad Bečvou. The Bečva Cycle Route is 65 km long and runs mostly along a cycle path closed to motor traffic. The 26 km section between Přerov and Hranice is almost entirely suitable for inline skating.

Nature

Behind Oldřichov lies the Libuška wetland, the longest oxbow lake of the Bečva in the Moravian Gate. It includes floodplain forests and pools. Near Libuška there is a nesting site for around fifty sand martins and a kingfisher.

In the immediate vicinity of Libuška lies a flooded sand pit with stands of reeds, rushes and sedges, making it suitable for waterfowl. In the middle of a 200 m wide oxbow pool lies a bird island of ornithological interest. The Libuška site is considered an important bird biocentre.
