Discover Lazce: Family Experiences and History

Lazce combines a variety of experiences for children with a history dating back to the Middle Ages. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Lazce can therefore plan their stay in very different ways: with an adventure programme, a cycle tour through Litovelské Pomoraví or a tour exploring the town’s historical traces.

Adventures for Children and Active Days

A special attraction is the Lanové centrum PROUD Olomouc – Lazce. It offers children’s adventure programmes with themed games, animation activities and climbing on rope obstacles. As part of these programmes, children can try high-rope obstacles and a large adrenaline swing. Younger visitors can also enjoy a play area for children aged three and over. This makes it possible to incorporate different interests into a trip with children without having to fit all activities into the same daily schedule.

Lazce also provides a specific starting point for a cycle tour within the route described. The approximately 31.8-kilometre leisure route through Litovelské Pomoraví leads from Horní náměstí via Lazce and also passes through Lazce on the return journey. If you want to make cycling a focus of its own, you should take this approximate distance into account when planning your day. Sports equipment can also be rented at Demlova ZŠ.

Historical Traces in Lazce

The first surviving written mention of Lazce dates back to 1298. In the same year, King Wenceslaus II donated Lazce Island to the Poor Clare convent at Předhradí. The history of the locality later took a decisive turn: the original settlement was demolished in 1746 to make way for the construction of Olomouc’s fortifications.

Further details bring this past to life. A mill stood on Mlýnský potok in the medieval settlement. In Letná, an area of Lazce, Olomouc’s first football pitch was built in 1914. Such individual points of interest are suitable for travellers who want to understand a place’s development through more than just its current activities.

The ASO Park Between the Past and Renewal

The ASO Park site was formerly a municipal shooting range and was used over the long term as a venue for excursions and various folk festivals. On 10 February 2026, the City of Olomouc announced that the renewal of the ASO Park had begun. At the same time, visitors were asked not to enter the area affected by the work. This time-sensitive information is relevant to travel planning if the park is to be an important part of your stay.

When choosing accommodation in Lazce, you can therefore first decide on your preferred travel focus: adventures with children, cycling or local history. “Holiday apartment” is a particularly suitable search term if you want to organise your stay independently around these interests. For other places in the same overview, you can also view Svésedlice, Medlov U Uničova, Haňovice, Mutkov, Tovéř, Libavá, Křelov-Břuchotín and Vilémov.
