Hodonín U Kunštátu – Experience Nature, Culture and Water

Nature, History and Varied Days

Hodonín U Kunštátu combines nature, history and a variety of activities into a destination that accommodates diverse day plans. Floodplain forest, wildlife, museums, galleries, spa treatments and boat trips each provide their own focus.

Floodplain Forest and Wildlife in Hodonín

Hodonín Zoo is located on the edge of the Dúbrava floodplain forest in the northwestern part of Hodonín. It currently keeps around 400 animals from approximately 100 species. The enclosures of the big cats are among the special attractions for visitors – a specific destination for anyone who wants to include wildlife in their stay.

The Hodonínská Dúbrava forest lies between Hodonín, Dubňany and Mutěnice. In its most valuable part, a national nature monument was designated in 2014 on an area of 683.18 hectares. In addition, the newly opened Dům přírody Hodonínské Dúbravy visitor centre is located on the northern outskirts of Hodonín in the Bažantnice area, near Hodonín Zoo, the Hodonínská Dúbrava national nature monument and the sports hall.

Culture Between the Chateau, Gallery and Regional History

The permanent T. G. Masaryk exhibition is located in the Baroque chateau of the Masarykovo muzeum in Hodonín. It traces Masaryk’s life from childhood through his studies, his work in Vienna, his scientific and political activities from 1882 to 1918, his presidency and family life up to his death in 1937, as well as his legacy.

The Galerie výtvarného umění in Hodonín presents modern and contemporary art to the public. Its programme systematically includes exhibitions, publications, as well as accompanying and educational programmes. This allows a stay in Hodonín to be complemented by a cultural focus that goes beyond individual exhibition visits.

The Muzeum ropy provides information about the formation and accumulation of crude oil and natural gas, extraction methods, and the effects of exploration and extraction. It also addresses the region’s industrial and independent past.

Spa Treatments and Boat Trips

Lázně Hodonín offer targeted therapeutic and rehabilitation treatments as well as relaxation. Přístaviště U Jezu in Hodonín provides a different focus, with boat trips on the Morava River and the Baťa Canal. This gives you clear guidance when choosing accommodation based on your travel interests: you can assign different priorities to cultural days, relaxation and water experiences.

Views and Knowledge of Nature

The Hodonín Town Hall Tower is a 40-metre-high observation tower that visitors reach by climbing 150 steps. The ascent complements the attractions at ground level with a clearly defined viewpoint.

The exhibition at Dům přírody Hodonínské Dúbravy describes unique fragments of oak forests in the surroundings of Hodonín and introduces visitors to the local fauna and flora. In this way, the natural area offers not only a landscape but also an explanatory and observational dimension.
