Between the Drahanská vrchovina and the Moravian Karst

Krasová lies at the transition between the Drahanská vrchovina and the Moravian Karst. Part of the cadastral area of Krasová lies within the Moravian Karst Protected Landscape Area; as part of Natura 2000, the Moravian Karst is classified as a site of Community importance. The area around Krasová also includes several mountains: Bučí, Stádla, Skatulec and Jedla. The protected-area status concerns only part of the cadastral area of Krasová, while the four mountains are located in the surrounding area.

Hiking and cycling around Krasová

A red-marked hiking trail leads through the Krasovské údolí valley to the Balcarka Cave and to Ostrov u Macochy. In the opposite direction, the marked hiking trail leads to Jedovnice. When planning a day on foot, this choice of direction can determine the focus of your hiking day. Two intersecting cycling routes also run through Krasová, so cycling can likewise become an essential part of exploring the region. For cyclists, the two intersecting routes offer a separate route option alongside the hiking trail.

Local history and a festive occasion

The first written record of Krasová dates from 1717; at that time, the settlement was founded as Rogendorf. In 1946, the settlement was renamed from Regendorf to Krasová. The Tradiční krasovské hody festival commemorates this renaming. It takes place on the first Sunday in August and is a three-day festival associated with the celebration of the Czech version of the municipality's name. The fixed Sunday in August and the three-day duration give the festival a clear timeframe for planning a stay.
