Holiday apartment in Horní Němčí: Nature and Culture

In Horní Němčí, natural and cultural landscapes come together.

Nature

The landscape includes several protected areas within the cadastral area of Horní Němčí. The “Drahy” nature reserve covers 15.0797 hectares of highly varied pastures and meadows. The “Bahulské Jámy” natural monument protects 14.0908 hectares of flower-rich meadows in the White Carpathians. “Uvezené” protects a 14.39-hectare oak-hornbeam forest. The “Za lesem” natural monument also includes part of the Lesná pastures with a wetland depression.

Culture

The Church of St Peter and Paul dominates the village centre; it is a cultural monument. Local tradition also includes the festival tradition known as “hody”, which is celebrated in the last week of June. The “Horněmčanský kroj” belongs to the tradition of the “kroj nivnický” and is distinguished by its particular variety. The opening of the well-known spring in springtime has also long been a tradition in Horní Němčí. Thus, the village’s culture brings together ecclesiastical heritage, festival customs, traditional dress and an annual spring custom.

History

A distinctive building in the centre is the Myslivna, also called the “hájenka”; it is one of the dominant buildings in Horní Němčí. The present building was newly constructed in 1854 as a single-storey house and was remodelled into its current form between 1921 and 1925. To the west of Horní Němčí lies the “Hřádek” hill, which is approximately 3 metres high and 17 metres wide. The central mound, as well as parts of the ditch and rampart of a motte-and-bailey castle built in the 13th century, have also been preserved.

When comparing holiday apartments in Horní Němčí, you can view and compare the individual offers. Before booking, you can check the exact location, type of accommodation, occupancy, included services, price components, and booking and cancellation conditions. Even for accommodation whose specific features are not yet known, the comparison therefore remains limited to verifiable offer details. What matters is what is stated on the individual page; features, prices or conditions should not be assumed. You can also check the period for which the information applies, which people are included in the occupancy, and whether any additional costs or differing conditions are listed separately.
