Trpín: Cross-country skiing, landscape and culture

In winter, the terrain around Trpín is suitable for cross-country skiing. Hiking trails run through Trpín; there is a tourist rest area along cycle route 5085, which passes through the village. Different types of activities can be planned separately as part of your daily itinerary.

Landscape

The landscape around Trpín rises from the eastern depression with the valley of the Křetínka stream up to 699 m at Panský vrch. The landscape around Trpín is typical of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands and includes forests, meadows, ponds and streams.

The various types of terrain and route options cannot be reduced to a single mode of travel. You can decide in advance whether to focus on cross-country skiing, hiking or cycling.

Terrain, routes, landscape and historic sites stand alongside one another as distinct areas of focus. You can assign different weights to these topics instead of combining them into a single daily itinerary.

For a stay in Trpín, accommodation listings present various details side by side: travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions. Each concerns a different part of the planning process. Considering these points separately makes it easier to compare your own scheduling and contractual requirements clearly with the details of an offer. This keeps dates, room arrangements and conditions readable as independent decision criteria.

Culture and history

The present-day Kostel sv. Václava church was consecrated in 1689 and finally completed in 1720. The church contains an organ built in 1840 by František Svítil from Nové Město na Moravě. Next to the church stands a Baroque bell tower built using half-timbered construction.

Majdalenka is the surviving presbytery of a former religious site; the surrounding walls of the former nave have also been preserved. Since the 17th century, pilgrimages with markets have been held at Majdalenka in July. Concerts of sacred music are held annually in the Kostel sv. Václava church.

Above Trpín, the Boží muka wayside shrine was erected between 1730 and 1750 along the historic route. Remains of defensive trenches are still visible on the edge of Horní les, on the road to Hartmanice. The medieval Trstenická stezka route ran approximately along the alignment of today’s Bystré–Trpín road and continued via Ústup to Kunštát.

The local history also includes the Rychta, which has always been an hereditary magistrate’s estate and still bears house number 1, as well as the neighboring Hostejnice, also called Hostenice. It served as a resting and overnight stop for horses, while carters stopped at the inn.

At the site of U Šanců, also known as Švédské šance, a monument was erected in the 20th century and given the nickname U Kamena. The felling of the maypole was one of the interesting local events in Trpín.
