Holiday apartment in Vlčková – Bzová Nature Monument and hiking trails

Vlčková is located in the Hostýnské vrchy Nature Park and features a harmonious cultural landscape of enhanced landscape value. Marked hiking trails lead around the village to the protected Bzová natural area. There are rest areas and springs along the tourist trails; the marked hiking trails around Vlčková are suitable for hiking.

Nature

Ondřejovsko features rocky slopes with beech, sycamore and elm trees, as well as a pronounced primeval-forest character. The Ondřejovsko ridge and its wider surroundings are an important breeding and refuge area for numerous bird species. Alongside the trails, distinctive natural areas are therefore also central, without the landscape being limited to a single protected area.

The Bzová Nature Monument is located in the cadastral area of Vlčková. It protects a beech primeval forest with sycamore and fir trees. Rare species found in the Bzová Nature Monument include Italian arum, stock dove, middle spotted woodpecker, goshawk and sparrowhawk. The plant and bird species mentioned are therefore just as much part of the character of this natural area as the rocky slopes of Ondřejovsko.

Culture

The Chapel of St Martin in Vlčková was built in 1900 in honour of Saint Martin. The historic chapel in Vlčková was completely restored in the 19th century and continues to serve religious purposes to this day. Another local tradition is the children's event “Dětský den s hledáním pokladu” (“Children's Day with a Treasure Hunt”): by 2026, the local gardeners' organisation had held this event twelve times around the Gardeners' House in Vlčková.

Trails and surroundings

The circular trail “Hostýnskými vrchy IV (Okolo Vlčkové)” begins in the centre of Vlčková opposite the chapel and leads through the surrounding area. In the wider regional surroundings of Vlčková, the Přední skály rock formation on Ondřejovsko can be reached from the Okluka signpost via a green-marked hiking trail in less than half an hour.

The ruins of the 13th-century Lukov Castle are also located in the immediate vicinity of Vlčková; they can be reached on foot via a hiking trail. Thus, the named trails lead both through the village and to natural and cultural destinations in the different surrounding areas.
