Hradiště Hrádek Hillfort
Hradiště Hrádek is a high fortified location on the top and south slope of the same-name hill in Hostýnsko- in Setín mountain. This archaeological site, protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, was inhabited from eneolithic to medieval.
The oldest history of the place is the evidence of a settlement already in the eneolite. In the Bronze Age, the people of the culture of the Lužické Dumpster Fields built the first fortification. The medieval stage is connected to the construction of the castle, which used the natural configuration of the terrain at the top of the hill Hrádek (517 meters above sea level).
The building form of the manor was preserved in the form of remains of the wall and moat. The area of 75 times 85 meters has a ground plan in the shape of a cut-off top. There are still traces of fortifications at the top of the hill, showing the strategic importance of the site in the past.
The important milestone in the history of the place is 1272, when the territory won Jindřich z Přílep. The property transfer took place by exchange with Bishop Bruno of Schauenburg, whom Jindřich z Přílep transferred for this territory to Nový Shaumburk Castle. The castle's demise at Hrádek is placed in the period of Hussite or Czech-Hungarian wars, when many similar fortified settlements in the region have disappeared.
The location is located in the cadastral area of Lukovecek in the district of Zlín, approximately two kilometres north of the municipality of Přílepy. In sources it is often misstated as Castle near the Attachment. This designation is inaccurate as the object does not lie in the cadastral territory of Přílepy near Holešov.
Today, Hrádek is an important archaeological site, which offers insight into the history of the settlement of the Hostýnskostnskost in Setín Hornatina. The visit allows you to familiarise yourself with the remains of medieval fortification in authentic terrain. For those interested in history and archaeology, this monument represents valuable evidence of the development of noble settlements and prehistoric settlements in Czech countries.

Seasonal recommendations
In the spring, the fort awakens into life. The young greenery and blooming meadows around the ruins create a fresh atmosphere that gives the memory a new touch. I recommend moisture-resistant shoes, because roads can be muddy after melting snow. The best place to visit is in the morning when the air is the cleanest.
The summer season brings a radiant sun and thick shade of leaves, which teilweise covers up the remnants of ancient valleys. The atmosphere is full of energy, but heat can be exhausting. Due to the largest number of visitors in the season, come first thing in the morning. Remember light clothes, hat and plenty of fluids.
Autumn paints the surrounding landscape into golden and brown tones, underlining the melancholy character of ruins. Morning fog gives archeological sites a mysterious and mystical form. Get dressed in layered clothes so you don't get cold. The ideal time for visiting is late afternoon, when the low sun will highlight the relief of the terrain.
In winter, there is quiet and raw peace in the castle. Without the leaves on the trees, the remains of the fortifications are seen most clearly, which allows better orientation in space. Due to low temperatures and early dark, select a warm thermobra and plan for shorter walks. Don't forget the slippery heel if the landscape is covered by frost or snow.
