Vavřinec: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Vavřinec combines prominent viewpoints, paths through the municipality and cultural and historical sites with the landscape of the Moravian Karst. The Podvrší observation tower is particularly striking: it stands at the highest point of the municipality of Vavřinec, on the 590 m-high Podvrší hill. Its viewing platform is 32 m above the base of the tower and offers panoramic views of the nearby and more distant surroundings.
