Pravčice

Directions Website

A village on the plain of eastern Haná, about 14 km east of Kroměříž by road and close to Hulín. It is first recorded in 1261, when King Ottokar II of Bohemia gave it to Bruno, Bishop of Olomouc. The Rusava stream flows through the village, and on its edge there are remnants of floodplain forest and the Hliník pond.

The Church of St Florian was built by the villagers from collections in 1924–1925, and in front of it stands a memorial to the victims of both world wars. On the southern edge of the village is a private museum of agricultural machinery; visits must be arranged in advance. Pravčice is known for the horse-riding competitions of the local club and the Shrovetide party with a "bear" procession.
