Museums

The Muzeum Hrotovicka is an interactive, educational museum aimed primarily at families with children.

The Muzeum mobilních telefonů originated from an idea developed in 2019 to show the public a private collection of old mobile phones. It features suitcase-style mobile phones that were more reminiscent of landline telephones and weighed up to around 5 kg, as well as their later, compact successors.

The Hrotovicko Educational Trail is a circular route with sixteen stations. It is 5 km long and suitable for pedestrians, cyclists, pushchairs, and wheelchair users.

On information panels, the trail provides interesting facts about animals, woody plants, and flowering plants in the forest, as well as about the geomorphological development of the area.
