Culture and History
The village is home to the Church of St Bartholomew, a filial church belonging to the Krouna parish. Its grounds comprise the church and a cemetery. The church was built in 1349, originally made of wood, and rebuilt after a fire. In a historical ecclesiastical record, Otradov was referred to as “Grunaw inferior”.
Otradov’s cultural monuments include Blažkův mlýn and a nearby barn. The historic mill has been a protected cultural monument since 1958 and retains almost all of its equipment, including the preserved remains of the waterwheel and millrace. Traditional half-timbered farmhouses with characteristic elements of the local folk architecture have been preserved on the slope along the stream in Otradov.

The red-marked hiking trail leads to Otradov and then follows the Krounka River for more than 10 km. Údolí Krounky (Šilinkův důl) is a moderately difficult hiking route. A cycling route is also marked in Otradov.
