Stupava – Nature, Culture and Holiday Apartment

A prominent landmark of Stupava is the ski and leisure area, which has been in existence since 2001. Stupava lies in a valley along the Stupavka stream and in the heart of the Chřiby. Winter sports, nature, hiking, cycling and culture are presented here as distinct themes. This combination of a winter sports area, valley setting and regional landscape gives the town several clearly distinguishable facets.

Winter, Hiking and Cycling

Stupava is a good starting point for hikes and cycling tours. In the vicinity of Stupava, a green-marked hiking trail leads to Cimburk Castle Ruins, originally a Gothic castle dating from 1327. Alongside winter sports, this provides a historical destination in the town’s immediate surroundings. The cycling offering “Nejkrásnější cyklotrasy Slovácka” presents the Chřiby, the White Carpathians and the Lednice-Valtice Area as three noteworthy cycling regions of the Slovácko region. These cycling areas broaden the perspective from the immediate surroundings to the wider regional area.

The hiking trail, castle ruins and the three aforementioned cycling regions each provide distinct points of interest alongside winter sports. The different types of activity can therefore be considered separate themes without having to combine them into a single travel itinerary.

Landscape and Nature

The area around Stupava is characterized by densely wooded slopes and extensive forests. The Stará Hráz Nature Reserve covers 7.8 hectares and lies approximately 1.5 kilometers southeast of Stupava in the Kyjovka valley. It includes hornbeam-oak forests and ash-alder floodplain forests on the right side of the valley and in the floodplain of the meandering Stupava stream (Kyjovka); these forest communities are characteristic of the Chřiby. The protected area thus reveals both the wooded slopes and the water-shaped floodplain of the valley.

The valley, surrounding area and nature reserve offer different spatial perspectives on the landscape in Stupava. Naming the forest communities precisely makes the description of nature more tangible than a mere collective term.

Holiday Apartment in Stupava

A holiday apartment in Stupava can be considered as an accommodation option based on travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions. These details complement the local themes and help you assess the desired type of accommodation independently of winter sports, nature, hiking, cycling and culture.

Culture and History

The Chřiby Glassmakers’ Museum in Stupava reopened in 2025 with a new exhibition. The exhibition “Po stopách chřibských sklářů” is located in Stupava’s cultural center. Local glass production in the glassworks ended after the floods of 1905. The two exhibition references make the history of glass visible both through its present-day presentation and its historical conclusion. The church in Stupava was completed in 1859.
