Hřivínův Újezd between the Chapel and the Vizovice Highlands

Hřivínův Újezd lies in a valley of the Vizovice Highlands. In the village and its surroundings, the landscape setting, sacred architectural history, folk architecture and regional destinations can be considered side by side. You can consider these focal points separately when planning: links to nature, local culture and destinations in the surrounding area are presented as distinct topics.

Landscape and routes

No marked hiking trails pass through Hřivínův Újezd. A paved road connects the village with marked cycling route 5176 in Kelníky; this connection continues via Doudravy to the marked cycling network in the surroundings of Uherské Hradiště. When comparing hiking and cycling routes, you can consider the two details separately in your own planning.

Culture

The Chapel of St. Cyril and Methodius was built from 1895 to 1896 and consecrated on September 12, 1897, by Fr. František Chudáček. In 1996, it received a sacristy; two bells hang in the tower, dedicated to Saints Cyril and Methodius and to Saint Wenceslas. The protected wooden cross in Hřivínův Újezd dates from 1877 and features carved decorations. The chamber at house no. 11 is evidence of 19th-century folk architecture.

Traditions

A July pilgrimage at the Chapel of St. Cyril and Methodius is documented for 2012; the chapel was regularly thoroughly cleaned and decorated for the pilgrimage and at Christmas. In 2013, the Martinské hody harvest festival was celebrated in traditional costume for the third time. The Skřivánek children's folklore ensemble performed songs, dances and sayings from the Luhačovské Zálesí region. You can view these two examples as distinct cultural perspectives: the pilgrimage tradition at the chapel and folklore with a regional connection.
