Visiting Roznov





About an hour away from Ostrava ; in the direction of the south (if I remember correctly) is a village that goes by the name of Rožnov - where visitors will find a preserved wooden village (Living Museum)  where the tradition are kept and local people in authentic outfits will be performing traditional dancing, and are selling their products or crafts in a very warm and pleasant manner.

When you're there don't forget to drink a glass of hot medovina!

Wooden church of Sainte Catherine


Photo of the wooden church of Sainte Catherine in Ostrava (Moravia)

According to a local legend, The Sainte Catherine's church was originally in Frydek-Mistek, but the inhabitants of Hrabová decided to buy it, dismantled it, and then transported all parts to Hrabova and build it again there.

The church was destroyed by a fire in 2002 (presumably caused by a lightning bolt), and rebuild in 2004.
