Historic church art, a Stations of the Cross on Kostelní vrch, an educational trail and the local airfield offer different possibilities for planning your trip.

Church and monuments with clear traces of different eras

The history of the church in Hodkovice nad Mohelkou is documented as far back as 1352. The foundation stone for the present-day church was laid on November 22, 1717. Below the church are life-size statues of Saint Peter and Saint Paul dating from 1754. This allows several periods and forms of religious art to be traced in one place, without reducing the dates to a mere list.

On the town square, you will come across the Mariánské sousoší, which dates from 1710. The stone plague column in Hodkovice nad Mohelkou also dates from 1678. Those interested in regional history can incorporate these details into their exploration of the town and consciously focus their stay on smaller, specific discoveries.

The Stations of the Cross on Kostelní vrch

The Stations of the Cross on Kostelní vrch are a particular highlight. Their history began with the laying of the foundation stone for the first chapel on August 1, 1818. By 1820, the Stations of the Cross already comprised five chapels and a summit chapel. This development also makes the site interesting for travelers who prefer to discover historical connections along the way rather than during a purely sightseeing-oriented visit.

The yellow-marked hiking trail leads to the Stations of the Cross and continues to the local airfield. This gives you a clear choice for planning your day between a cultural route and a destination with a completely different character. Tandem skydives and skydiving training sessions take place regularly at the airfield. This allows you to compare a peaceful stretch with historic stops and a sports-oriented activity, without turning them into one uniform experience.

Educational trail and food options in town

The “Zastav se, poutníče” educational trail begins at T. G. Masaryk Square in Hodkovice nad Mohelkou. It complements the Stations of the Cross and the monuments with another way to discover the town step by step. If you are traveling with children or need to accommodate different interests within your group, you can structure the day around such clearly defined stops and choose between brief sightseeing highlights and a walking route.

For a meal or convenient provisions, KáDéčko in the center of Hodkovice nad Mohelkou offers food for takeaway or delivery. When looking for a hotel or other accommodation, it is therefore worth deciding on your preferred daily rhythm in advance: Would you mainly like to discover the historic landmarks on the town square and at the church, plan in the Stations of the Cross and the educational trail, or include the airfield as a special item on your itinerary?
