Zádverice: Church History, Educational Trail and Marked Routes

After a fire, the Evangelical church in Zádveřice was rebuilt in its present form between 1860 and 1869. A permanent exhibition in the vicarage in Zádveřice documents emigration from Zádveřice and the surrounding area to America in the 19th and 20th centuries.

A holiday apartment in Zádverice can be explored in more detail on the respective listing page using travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions.

Culture and History

The tower of the Evangelical church in Zádveřice houses three bells that are still in use and are probably among the oldest bells in the entire Evangelical Church. In Zádveřické paseky, House No. 124, together with part of its farm buildings, is listed as a cultural monument. A barn in Zádveřice is also included among the area's immovable monuments. The cultural heritage therefore ranges from religious architectural history and bells to rural farm buildings and a documented history of emigration.

The church, vicarage, House No. 124 and barn each represent different preserved aspects of the locality. The church history is complemented by the bells that are still in use, while the exhibition in the vicarage offers a broader historical perspective on emigration from Zádveřice and the surrounding area to America.

Nature and Educational Trail

The Chodníček za sirnými studánkami is an approximately 2-kilometre-long, marked educational trail that follows a one-way route and provides access to five mineral springs along the Horský potok. The trail has two stations and two entry points. You can start at the Zádveřice, paseky bus stop or at a car park on the road to Luhačovice. Three of the five springs are covered; visitors can rest on new wooden benches at three springs.

For planning your day, the approximate length, one-way route and entry points can be considered as separate features alongside one another. The stations, as well as the distribution of the covered springs and new wooden benches, are also specific details that help classify this educational trail.

Getting Around

A marked hiking route runs through Raková along the connection from Vizovice via Slušovice to Jasenná. Marked regional cycle route No. 471 runs through Zádveřice along the Otrokovice–Zlín–Vizovice connection. Zádveřice railway stop is located on regional railway line No. 331 between Otrokovice, Zlín and Vizovice.

For the educational trail, the length, one-way route, stations, entry points and facilities at the springs are specified. The hiking route through Raková, cycle route No. 471 through Zádveřice and railway line No. 331 are each described through their named connections and locations. This places different modes of transport and route types side by side.

A new pump track was built in Zádveřice-Raková. The Zádveřice pump track is located at Zádveřice 43, next to the football stadium and the new multifunctional sports field.

The routes and facilities are thus spread across several clearly named points: the educational trail along the Horský potok, the regional connections via Raková and Zádveřice, and the pump track in Zádveřice-Raková. For your own planning, these different location details and route characteristics can be considered separately.
