Mohylník (Luhačovice) Mowel burial ground
Mohilník is an archaeological site in the forest on the hill Obora northwest of Luhačovice, in the district of Zlín. It is a medieval hill burial ground from the 9th century, which is a protected cultural monument of the Czech Republic. This site is significant thanks to preserved traces of both skeletal and heat burial and findings that provide information about early medieval society.
The location dates back to the 9th century, the early Middle Ages of Europe. At this time Slavic cultures and their interactions with neighbouring peoples were developed.
The burial ground is situated on the surface of an irregular octagonal. Mothels have a circular or oval plan. The dead were stored either directly in the terrain level or in deep grave pits. The orientation of the body was most often such that the head was facing west and feet toward east; Less often then head to the north and feet to the south. Over some funerals, there were extensive burn sites or traces of sloping stakes.
The Mohylnik discovered the Jakub Balhar teacher. In 1921-1922 Inocenc Ladislav Červinka explored 40 might at the expense of the State Archaeological Institute. The number of mothels in the site was revised over time: originally 60 were counted, then 54 were adjusted to 49 and 49 mothels were found in 2020.
Among the most important findings are the grave of a warrior with his head to the north and feet to the south. At this funeral, a clay vessel was found with corrugated wool, an iron axe, a knife, spurs, clips and buckles, an iron sickle and a wooden bucket forging. Other mounds showed poorer findings such as ceramics, knives, buckets or darts; some were empty.
This archaeological monument is located on the hill Obora at a height of 386 metres above sea level and is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. It is a place that allows you to look into ancient funeral traditions and the structure of early medieval society. Visiting it will give you an understanding of the historical development of the region.

Seasonal recommendations
In the spring, the surroundings awaken to life, and the young green makes the place fresh. The light is fine and the air is clean, which helps the perception of the landscape. I recommend moisture-resistant shoes because the terrain can be wet after melting snow. It's best to leave early in the morning when nature is most alive.
Summer season brings thick shade of foliage and intense colors of surrounding nature. The atmosphere is warm, but the sun can be hot. It is advisable to choose light, breathable clothes and not forget the protection of the head. The ideal time for walking is late afternoon, when temperatures drop slightly.
In the autumn, the colour of the decayed leaves and the frequent mists that give the place a mysterious touch. The light is golden and milder. It is practical to dress in more layers so that one can react to the variable weather. The visit in the afternoon offers the most beautiful views of the surrounding hills.
In winter, the landscape is exposed and rocky, which allows better observation of the relief of the terrain without foliage. The atmosphere is calm and quiet, especially in cold weather. It is necessary to have warm and waterproof clothes and quality shoes. For short days, it is best to plan a trip to morning or noon.
