Discover Vratimov

Vratimov offers a varied mix of forest, exercise, water and local attractions. The town is particularly suitable if you want to combine active experiences with more leisurely exploration: in Důlňák, paths lead through a large deciduous forest, while cycling and biking facilities offer different forms of physical activity. In addition, there is a swimming pool and two monuments of local significance.

Forest and paths in Důlňák

Důlňák is a forest covering approximately 125 hectares in the Podbeskydská pahorkatina area. It consists mainly of deciduous trees, especially oaks and beeches. The Důlňák fitness trails begin and end at the forest entrance from K Hájence Street, near house no. 155. This specific starting point makes it easier to find your way if you want to plan your time in the forest with a clear start and destination. This gives you two clearly distinct forms of activity for your day: trails in the forest and technically oriented riding on the sports facilities.

Cycling, pump track and bike park

For cycling, the Vratimov–Sviadnov section forms part of the Ostrava–Beskydy cycle path. The route is reserved exclusively for non-motorised traffic. Vratimov's pump track has a main track approximately 140 m long and a smaller pump track of about 40 m for beginners and younger children. The facility is open to the public free of charge. The different sizes and the smaller course's focus on beginners and younger children allow for a graduated choice within the cycling theme.

A pump track is a closed cycling course with rollers and banked turns. These features make it possible to maintain and increase speed. Another option is the Vratimov skatepark and bike park: the 548 m² concrete park has sports obstacles for skateboards, scooters and bicycles and is freely accessible within the enclosed sports complex. The concrete park's obstacles are designed for skateboards, scooters and bicycles.

Water and more relaxing hours

Koupaliště Vratimov has a heated stainless-steel pool measuring 42 × 17 m, with two swimming lanes, water massage and other water attractions. There is also a two-level children's paddling pool. The swimming pool complex also includes three snack stands with seating terraces; at least one snack stand is always open during the swimming pool's operating hours. This allows you to combine swimming lanes, water attractions and a two-level children's area in a single visit to the pool.

Local culture and notable places

The Church of Saint John the Baptist in Vratimov is a monument of local significance. In Vratimov–Horní Datyně, the Datyňský hraniční dub stands as a commemorative tree on a triangular lawn bordered by local roads. Horní Datyně is also home to the Chapel of Saint Anthony, likewise a monument of local significance. When searching for a hotel in Vratimov, you can therefore decide what to focus on during your trip: forest and exercise, cycling, water activities or local culture.
