Prerau: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Přerov showcases its history in an originally Gothic castle that was converted into a Renaissance castle around the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries under Karel starší ze Žerotína.

Culture and history

Since the early 1930s, the Muzeum Komenského has used the castle in Přerov for museum purposes. The observation tower “Vyhlídková věž s vedutami Přerova z let 1593–1940” is 43 metres high; 72 steps lead to its steel viewing gallery.

At the Památník Jednoty bratrské, an exhibition featuring texts and drawings of archaeological finds is open to the public. The original alley there allows visitors to walk along the places where Jan Amos Komenský and Jan Blahoslav once walked.

Since the second half of the 19th century, Předmostí u Přerova has become part of the history of world archaeology through extensive finds of remains of Paleolithic humans and the so-called mammoth fauna.

Nature

Michalov Park has been protected as a cultural monument in Přerov since 1992. The park has three playgrounds. The Ornitologická stanice ORNIS is located on the right bank of the Bečva near Michalov Park and the Žebračka National Nature Reserve.

Cycling and walking paths

A 26-kilometre section of the Cyklostezka Bečva runs from Hranice via Lipník nad Bečvou to Přerov. The regional, low-difficulty section of the Cyklostezka Bečva along the Bečva is intended for cyclists and pedestrians; inline skating is possible provided that the path surface permits it.

The Cyklostezka Bečva is easily accessible by train on the Valašské Meziříčí–Velké Karlovice, Valašské Meziříčí–Rožnov pod Radhoštěm and Valašské Meziříčí–Přerov sections. Bicycles may be taken as accompanied baggage or stored during transport.
