A painting behind the main altar, a blue-marked hiking trail on the southern edge of the village and several specific sports give Topolany a range of starting points for planning a trip. Local offerings span art and history, physical activity and community gatherings. When planning a stay, it is therefore worth considering whether you are more interested in local art and history, physical activity or a dated event.
Church Art and Local History
The painting of Saint Nicholas behind the main altar of St. Nicholas Church in Topolany was created by Viennese painter Felix Leichert. For those interested in religious painting, the combination of a saintly subject and a named artist offers a specific local point of interest. Services are held in the church regularly on Sundays and once on a weekday. As service schedules can change, check the current times before visiting.
The parents of Klement Gottwald are buried in the cemetery in Topolany. This offers a different perspective on local history from the attribution to the painter in the church: here, the focus is on a family connection to a specific person. If you want to understand local history through specific individuals, you can consider these two references as separate topics.
Sports and Cultural Gatherings
You can play tennis, badminton, volleyball, basketball and nohejbal at the multi-purpose sports ground. The selection ranges from tennis and badminton to other named sports, giving sports enthusiasts a specific focus for their stay. The local community centre can be used for cultural events and similar gatherings. It adds a different type of event to the sporting activities: while specific games are the focus at the sports ground, the centre hosts cultural events and gatherings.
Past Dates and Announcements
Among the past, precisely dated examples is the young firefighters’ competition in the fire attack event: its 13th edition took place in Topolany on 20 June 2026. The Halloween trail was announced for 2 November 2024 as a traditional autumn experience trail. It was to feature lights, lanterns, illuminated figures and a spooky challenge. A Christmas market was announced for 7 December 2024 as a regular part of the Advent season. Visitors were to be able to buy handicrafts, traditional Christmas ornaments, decorations and regional specialities; children’s workshops were also planned.
These examples differ both in date and character, ranging from a firefighters’ competition to an autumn trail and a market featuring handicrafts, regional products and activities for children. As all the dates mentioned are in the past, check current event dates if an event is to determine when you travel.
Hiking on the Southern Edge of the Village
A blue-marked hiking trail runs along the southern edge of Topolany. It leads from Vyškov towards the Orlovická vrchovina and the ruins of Orlov Castle. The tourist information page for the route was last updated in 2007. Check the current route and the status of the trail markings before setting off. This is particularly important if you are planning to make the route a fixed part of your day.
