Discover Poteč: Nature, Pilgrimage and Holiday Apartment

Poteč combines landscape protection, scenic highlands, pilgrimage and local culture. Half of the municipality of Poteč lies within the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area. For you as a family looking for a holiday apartment in Poteč, this opens up several ways to shape your stay: the landscape and far-reaching views can be just as central as a festive occasion, a pilgrimage site or activities at the multi-purpose sports field. This allows you to choose your accommodation according to the pace of holiday that suits your travel group.

Natural surroundings and far-reaching views

Ploštiny is particularly striking. The area is especially valuable in landscape terms and offers beautiful views, especially of Slovakia. At 739 m, Ploštiny is the highest peak of the White Carpathians in Poteč. If, during your stay, you place greater emphasis on landscape and open spaces than on a packed sightseeing programme, the natural surroundings can clearly define the focus of your trip. In a holiday apartment in Poteč, you can combine this focus with your personal holiday rhythm.

Pilgrimage to Dělanovec

Dělanovec is a small pilgrimage destination in the hills above Poteč. The Chapel of Panny Marie Královny and a spring stand at Dělanovec. Dělanovec is also a waypoint on the southern route of Via Czechia. A pilgrimage spring lies 300 m to the northeast; a Chapel of Panny Marie stands there. Anyone wishing to combine their stay with a spiritual or cultural theme can include Dělanovec in their daily itinerary. The site thus complements Poteč’s natural side with a religious connection.

Festivals, art and former livelihoods

There is also a notable cultural occasion during the year. The Potečské hody are held regularly on 28 September and begin with a festive Mass at the local chapel. Paintings by the painter Bohumír Lindauer hang in a chapel in Poteč. Former livelihoods in Poteč included, in particular, agriculture and field cultivation, as well as the home production of shingles and felt soles for valašské slipper makers. Fruit growing was also widespread: this included drying apples and plums and, later, distilling spirits.
