Haná

Our Haná is as painted

The fertile area, mainly along the Morava River, is a charming region called Haná since the 16th century. The Haná is characterised by golden, rolling fields of grain that stretch into the distance and from which green forests and hills rise. The town of Olomouc is the centre of Haná and the entire Olomouc Region.

Ancestral heritage

Thanks to its fertility, Haná has always been a rich region, and this has been reflected in folk traditions and folklore. You can find out more about the life of the Haná people at the Haná Museum in Příkaze or "live" at the Haná Year in Velké Bystřice.You can admire the fortel of our ancestors when visiting the Museum of Historical Carriages or the Museum of Handicrafts in Konice. The fairytale castle Bouzov attracts visitors, as well as the picturesque castles of Čechy pod Kosířem, Náměšt' na Hané, Konice, Plumlov and Tovačov.

Beautiful nature

The green heart of Haná is the Litovelské Pomoraví, which stretches around the Morava River from Mohelnice to Olomouc. Here the river meanders and spills into numerous side branches, creating a unique oasis in the middle of the grain fields.Interesting and especially mysterious places are also found underground - the Javoříčské Caves will amaze you with their spectacular karst decoration and the Mladeč Caves will literally breathe prehistoric times.

Sport

Thanks to its flat profile, the Haná is ideal for family bike trips. You can choose from a number of marked cycle routes, or get inspired in the Activities/cycling section. The natural beauty is best enjoyed on foot - tips can be found in the Nature/Trails and Activities/Walking sections. In the summer heat, you can refresh yourself in the natural swimming pools or enjoy a ride down the Morava River.

Haná full of flavour

If you want to get to know a region, you should also try the local specialities. Taste the unique Olomouc tvarůžky and wash it down with local beer - and it's up to you which of the countless breweries and microbreweries you choose - just to mention Pivovar Litovel, Pivovar Tvarg, Velkorakovský minibrewery or Pivovar Jadrníček. After a day of exploring, everyone deserves a bit of relaxation - pamper yourself at the Slatinice spa, for example.
