A wooden bell tower dating from the early 19th century and the 443-metre-high Hůrka hill give Hrabůvka two distinctive landmarks. The village itself lies at an altitude of 305 to 345 metres above sea level, below the hill. When planning your stay, you can focus on local history and the landscape—or include walks and leisure activities in the surrounding area.

Landscape between Hůrka and the Uhřínovský Stream

The northern part of Hrabůvka belongs to the Oderské vrchy subregion of the Nízký Jeseník Mountains, more specifically the Boškovská vrchovina. The southern part lies in the Bečevská brána subregion of the Moravian Gate, more specifically the Jezernická pahorkatina. This means that two named geomorphological classifications meet within the cadastral area. The Uhřínovský Stream flows through the entire area. So the village’s setting is defined not only by its elevation, but also by the contrast between its northern and southern parts.

Bell Tower, Local History and Kunzov

One of Hrabůvka’s sights is the wooden bell tower near house number 5. It was built in the early 19th century. There is also a statue of Saint Florian in the village centre. Together, these two local landmarks offer a specific reason to explore the village itself as well as the surrounding landscape.

The earliest written record of the settlement dates from 1371, when the place was referred to as “William Habruowkam.” Near Hrabůvka, on the boundary with the cadastral area of Radíkov, stands the privately owned Neo-Gothic chateau of Kunzov. It adds a nearby architectural landmark to the area’s local history, while its private status remains important to note.

Walks and Leisure in the Surrounding Area

Walks in the woods around Hrabůvka offer beautiful, far-reaching views. Visitors can also gather wild berries and mushrooms. If you enjoy spending time outdoors during your stay, these woodland walks are a distinct option alongside the sights in the village.

Nearby Olšovec offers swimming in an outdoor pool located in a flooded quarry. Conditions at the bathing site may change, so check them before visiting. You can also include the Svačinka sports facility: relaxation and recreational sports are available there by arrangement with the operator. Keep this requirement in mind when planning your visit.

Transport History and Planning Your Visit

The village’s history also includes a narrow-gauge railway, built in 1910. It connected the Hrabůvka quarry with Drahotuše railway station. The track gauge was 600 millimetres and the line was around three kilometres long. In 1972, operations ceased and the railway was dismantled. It is therefore a historical topic, not a transport connection in use today.

Within one kilometre of Hrabůvka, visitors can find a shop and a small restaurant with an adjoining garden. Individual businesses may change, so check in advance what is currently available. The other activities have different conditions: conditions at the outdoor pool may change, and using the Svačinka facility requires prior arrangement. This can help you choose between local history, woodland walks and leisure activities in the surrounding area.
