Holiday apartment in Rokytnice: Nature in the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area

Rokytnice lies in the valley of the Rokytenka stream. The location of the village combines protected landscapes, open spaces, seasonal activities and regional events.

Nature

The planning area of Rokytnice is part of the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area. At the same time, Rokytnice lies on the boundary between the ethnographic regions of South Wallachia and Slovácko. The planning area also includes the European Natura 2000 sites Valentová and Na Koncoch. Thus, the village area combines membership in a large-scale protected landscape with specifically named natural areas.

Valentová comprises alluvial forests along streams, flower-rich beech forests and mesophilic hay meadows, as well as numerous other wet habitats. Na Koncoch is characterised by flower-rich beech forests, meadows, pastures, spring areas and alluvial forests along streams. The two areas therefore represent different combinations of forests, open spaces and wet habitats.

Jasla is an extensive meadow on the boundary between the cadastral areas of Rokytnice and Kochavec. A hunting lodge stands on Jasla, from which Svatý Hostýn, approximately 60 kilometres away, can be seen in good visibility. The meadow, the hunting lodge and the approximate distant view all belong to the same named landscape area.

On the Move and in Winter

The local countryside around Rokytnice is visited by tourists and cyclists. Cycling tour variant A runs from Pitín via Rokytnice to Štítná nad Vláří. The route therefore names both the starting point and Rokytnice, as well as the destination. Cross-country skiing is practised in the local landscape in winter.

Connections

Bus route 193 connects Slavičín, Šanov and Bojkovice and serves the Rokytnice, Obecní dům stop. The connection names three places and a specific stop within Rokytnice.

Culture

The Czech-Slovak gathering at Peňažné takes place at the state border every year on the penultimate Saturday in August together with the partner municipality of Horná Súča. In Rokytnice, a traditional Fašank procession celebration took place in February. Thus, in addition to nature and activities, the local character also includes an annual event near the border and a traditional celebration that took place in February.

When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday house in Rokytnice, it is worth taking a calm look at the individual offers. Before booking, compare the exact location, type of accommodation and possible occupancy. Also check which services are included, whether additional price components apply and which deadlines or cancellation rules are in effect. The wording regarding occupancy should also be unambiguous. Take the time to compare the points that are important for your trip directly with one another and choose accommodation according to your own priorities. To do so, look at several offers at your leisure and compare the conditions stated there. The decisive factors are the specific location of each offer, the type of accommodation, occupancy, included services, additional costs, and booking and cancellation deadlines.
