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.

Welcome to the mighty place in Luhačovice, a unique archaeological site hidden on the hill of Obora. Under your feet, there is a history set in the soil, where every piece of dust resembles the past, full of secrets and stories. The mounds you see around you are in the form of circles or ovals and they are located so that the heads are facing west or north. This first impression welcomed you as a witness to the medieval funeral ritual.

Let's dive into the history of this place, which is based at the beginning of the 9th century. Mohylník in Luhačovice served as a burial ground for the inhabitants of this region, who used both the skeletal and the heat of burial. This practice provides us with valuable information about the cultural and social life of the then inhabitants. Between 1921 and 1922 the archaeologist Inocenc Ladislav Červinka immersed himself in these mothels to discover their hidden secrets. His work revealed more than just the basic structure; There are also personalities and objects that tell us today about the lives of the past.

Look up at the hilly landscape around the mound. Note their orientation and form - this carefully located archaeological monument is protected as a cultural heritage of the Czech Republic. The mounds you see are not only buried; It's also a testament to the ways of life and the rituals of the people who once inhabited this landscape. Although their creators are not known, their work reminds us of the durability of the human spirit.

Among the key personalities associated with this place is Jakub Balhar, whose work has helped to clarify the history and importance of the hill. The most striking of archaeological findings is the grave of a warrior with objects such as an axe, knife and spurs. These artifacts tell us about the lives of those who were buried here - their tasks, their fears, and even their mortal struggles.

Now pay attention to one of the attractions of this place: trace findings of skeletal and heat burial. These two methods that appear in the mounds are fascinating testimonies of cultural change and adaptation of the time. The Mohylnik offers us a unique view of how people adapted to new conditions and rituals.

Let's take a closer look at this historical monument. Every mound is like a chapter in the book that awaits us on this hill. Imagine the lives and stories of the people whose remains lie here. Mohylník in Luhačovice is not only a monument to the past; It's also a place where history and the present converge.

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.
