Cotkytle: Nature, Local History and Events

The V dole nature reserve is located in the valley of the Hraniční potok in the Herbortice district of the municipality of Cotkytle.

For your planning, natural sites, historic buildings, event dates and routes can be viewed separately according to interest, date and mode of travel.

Nature

The Selský potok natural monument is also located in the Herbortice district of the municipality of Cotkytle. The two protected sites therefore belong to different protection categories.

Churches and Crosses

The parish church of Nanebevstoupení Páně in Cotkytle is first mentioned in 1350. In 1726, it was completely rebuilt and dedicated to Saint John of Nepomuk.

The crosses in and around Cotkytle include a stone cross by the church, erected in 1797; another stone cross in Cotkytle dating from the turn of 1856 and 1857; and an iron cross on a stone pedestal erected near Cotkytle in 1883.

Events

COTKYTLéto, a family music mini-festival, was held for the second time in 2024; local and regional artists performed at this edition, which also featured a children's programme.

Sraz rodáků a přátel obce was an annual gathering of former residents and friends of the municipality in Cotkytle. At the 2024 gathering, the NOA band played music for listening and dancing throughout the day and evening.

Poslední leč is a recurring hunting event in Cotkytle. The 2024 programme included hunting specialities, dancing to music by the Méďa Band and a raffle.

The pilgrimage programme in Cotkytle on 14 and 15 May 2022 included an evening of dancing, refreshments at the cultural centre and children's attractions.

Routes and Cycling Tours

The Pochod Viliama Havrdy was held for the first time in 2023 and for the second time in 2024 as an organised march between Cotkytle and the chapel in Janoušov. The route of the first edition in 2023 was 8 km long and offered refreshment options.

With the exception of one year during Covid, TJ Cotkytle organises an annual cycling tour to a fishery in the Polish border region.

For your selection, the formats can be distinguished by fixed date, recurring occasion, route and meeting point. The explicitly stated 8 km walking route thus contrasts with a cycling tour with its own meeting point and destination.

If you are comparing accommodation for a skiing holiday in Cotkytle, you can first check travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions side by side on the respective offer pages. You can then compare the options further based on these specific details and your preferred period.
