The confluence of the Morava and Bečva rivers is one of Troubky’s natural attractions. Floodplain forests, cycling routes and cultural monuments offer more reasons to spend time in the area. Troubky reveals itself both as a river landscape and through its history: statues, memorials and folklore tell stories of different eras and traditions.

River Landscape and Nature

The Troubky weir offers interesting views of the landscape and includes a small hydropower plant. The Zástudánčí National Nature Reserve is also one of the natural attractions in the area around Troubky. It is remote and difficult to access. This seclusion makes it one of the most important quiet zones for disturbance-sensitive bird species. Access restrictions may apply in certain areas. The reserve is also home to a small population of Kessler’s gudgeon. Its importance therefore lies not only in its landscape, but also in the special habitats it preserves.

Cycling Routes with Different Routes

Several routes are connected with Troubky, but in different ways. The Bečva Cycling Trail crosses the cadastral area; the Moravian Trail runs through its southern part. A local cycling route leads through the floodplain forests towards Chropyně or Lobodice. This distinction is useful for navigation: one route covers the cadastral area as a whole, the other its southern part, while the local route points towards two towns. Surfaces and signage may change, so check both before your ride.

Statues, Memorials and Local History

The local cemetery is home to the statue of St Amand, a listed cultural monument and a High Baroque work from the mid-18th century, attributed to B. Fritsch. It commemorates the averting of a plague epidemic and was moved to the cemetery in the early 20th century. The park in front of the school contains the also-listed statue of St Florian, a fine Baroque work dating from around 1750. After being restored, it was brought to Troubky from Dřevohostice in 1970.

The memorial to six American airmen in the cemetery commemorates an aerial battle over the municipality on 17 December 1944. Beside the church stands a memorial to those killed in the First World War. Dating from 1922, it bears the names and photographs of 57 local residents who fell in the war. Another memorial can be found in the park by the cultural centre: it commemorates the 1997 floods.

The history of the Church of St Margaret the Virgin and Martyr (“Kostel sv. panny a mučednice Markéty”) also goes back a long way. By 1672 at the latest, it existed as a small church with one altar and two bells. Construction of a new church began in 1870, and it was solemnly consecrated on 7 July 1872. The different dates divide local history into several periods, from the first mention of the small church to its later replacement.

Folklore and Planning Your Visit

The Hanák folklore ensemble keeps the folk traditions of Hanna alive with Hanák songs and dances, and performs at regional and international folklore festivals. In Troubky, Hanák holds the “Předvánoční posezení u cimbálu” and the “Folklorní hodové slavnosti” every year. The ensemble also organises a “Masopustní průvod” each year. If you would like to plan your trip around an event, check the dates for the relevant edition in advance.

There is a restaurant in the Troubky cultural centre. Check opening details before visiting. This practical stop can complement your travel plans around the area’s natural and cultural attractions.
