Aquaparks Morava

The sea in a Czech water park? At Aqualand Moravia, it certainly is! Approximately 40 kilometres south of Brno, a sea of water attractions and pools awaits you. There is a cinema, restaurants, massages, saunas, and simply perfect conditions for relaxation and rest. Poseidon himself would rate the Pasohlávky water complex on Pálava with ten out of ten sea stars!

Attractions and options for every family member

Children yearn for slides, toboggans, and adrenaline, while parents wish to swim in peace or enjoy a sauna or massage. And what about grandparents? For them, relaxation in hot thermal springs is ideal. Satisfying the entire family is truly not easy. However, Aqualand Moravia is prepared for the young, the old, and everyone in between.

If you choose the Pálava region, Mikulov, Klentnice, or perhaps the immediate surroundings of the Věstonice Reservoir as the location for your family holiday, do be sure to visit this local water park. Just by the way, you will not find more attractions and pools under one roof anywhere else in the Czech Republic.

Pools the size of a family house plot

The foundation of any proper water park is a pool. Of course, there is more than just one. In Aqualand Moravia, you will find fourteen of them. Nicely split half and half – seven outdoor and seven indoor pools. The largest of the outdoor pools is named Riviéra and offers a luxurious 823 m² of water surface. The warmest water can be sampled in two "brotherly" pools. Romulus and Remus lie next to each other, together occupying just over 100 m², and one can bathe here all year round in water at 37 °C.

Also available is Baby Lake with a slide, a water cannon, a water bell, or a waterfall, as well as other pools with beautiful views of Pálava and features such as whirlpools or artificial sea waves.

In the indoor pools, you can enjoy sports swimming in the largest pool in the entire water park (840 m²) as well as pleasant relaxation under a starry sky. If you yearn to release tension, you will certainly make use of the Relax Pool and Whirlpool. Warm 35 °C water and the touch of thousands of bubbles from water or air jets – can anything be better?

Children might disagree, but completely different pools are prepared for them. For instance, Calimero with two tower slides, water pistols, cannons, or tipping buckets. The smallest swimmers and non-swimmers can frolic in the shallow Baby bazének with pleasantly heated water, a water mushroom, or a perfect bear slide.

Lots of attractions, lots of fun

What else can be done at the Moravia water park? You can slide, slip, jump, and spin – hundreds of metres of slides and toboggans are fully at your disposal. Let us go in order and start with the "best" ones. For example, the steepest slide, with the fitting name Kamikadze, is 29 metres long, a full 13 metres high, and ranks among the high-speed attractions; to ride it, you must possess a good dose of courage.

A noticeably calmer ride is offered by Blue Trio. The longest toboggan in the water park. It measures nearly 150 metres, and a trio of brave adventurers can even set off into its depths on a raft. And the word "courage" should also be mentioned regarding the attraction named SuperCrater. This 101-metre-long attraction will take you through various nooks and circuits, and it is said to end at the very centre of the earth!

Wild River is, however, no walk in the park, nor is Yellow Crash. You cannot break down a wall with your head, but you can break a wall of water. Especially if you gather high speed along the way, just like in the enclosed, 94-metre Yellow Crash toboggan. You will also have a unique experience with the attraction named U Wave, a mammoth U-ramp. A swoop down and then back up again, adrenaline, colourful effects – simply fantastic!

Relaxation and wellness like in a spa

Aqualand Moravia also offers dozens of wellness procedures. A sauna should not be missing – in addition to the Finnish classic, you can try a fragrant bio-sauna, an aroma bath, an infra-cabin, or a tepidarium and caldarium, which will pleasantly warm and relax your body. Weekends are reserved for sauna shows and ceremonies by experienced sauna masters.

Would you like a massage? Just ask and choose; children's massages, a Roman wine massage, a Hawaiian massage, an aroma massage, or a detoxifying honey massage are available, offering comprehensive care for every skin type.

Most of the pools and whirlpools in Aqualand Moravia are also supplied by healing water from a 1.3-kilometre-deep borehole near Pasohlávky. It is unique in its content of sulphane, carbon dioxide, fluorides, sulphates, and other substances in amounts beneficial to the body. This mineral water benefits overall immunity, metabolism, and bone structure. It also alleviates skin diseases, fungal infections, and regenerates the musculoskeletal system.

A holiday on Pálava – even for a week!

For the perfect experience at Aqualand Moravia, we recommend setting aside several days in your calendar. The water park has its own accommodation, but you will find many more options in the surrounding villages and towns. Besides Pasohlávky, the closest are Dolní Dunajovice, Klentnice (less than 10 kilometres to the south), Strachotín, or Dolní Věstonice (roughly 15 kilometres to the east).

You can choose from hundreds of beds in guesthouses, hotels, apartments, and private lodgings, but also in cottages, log cabins, and private holiday homes with spacious gardens. Several campsites also operate around the Věstonice Reservoir. As you can see, the infrastructure of the water park and its immediate vicinity is fully prepared for you and your family.

Visit beautiful Pálava, and in addition to natural gems and the bounty of the vineyards, enjoy entertainment and relaxation at Aqualand Moravia. You will see that you will remember this visit fondly for a very long time.

The town of Kuřim lies in the Brno-Country District, in the South Moravian Region. It is an important transport hub from which roads branch out in the direction of Brno, Tišnov, and Svitavy. In addition to housing major manufacturing plants that employ a large number of people from the wide surroundings, an aquapark was also built here, for which visitors also like to head to the town.

The idea to build an aquapark was toyed with by Kuřim's representatives as early as the beginning of the 1970s. It was meant to be a place where not only competitive and training swimming would take place, but it could also serve the public and the movement activities of local schools. Plans began to be implemented in 1972, and in 1977 the swimming pool opened to the public. After 35 years of continuous operation, the town management decided on a complete reconstruction, and therefore the pool was closed and work on its modernization began in 2009. A year later, the completely renovated Aquapark Kuřim already opened its gates.

Visitors can enjoy not only water fun in several indoor pools, on the water slide, or in the saunas. The recreational adventure pool offers a wild river, counter-current, water mushroom, and massage grates. Its maximum depth is 1.2 meters and the water temperature hovers around 30 degrees. Its indoor part is connected with the outdoor pool, where the finish of the water slide is located.

And it is this red, 75-meter-long water slide that is one of the most attractive features of Aquapark Kuřim. It includes a traffic light and a timekeeping system with a record memory. During the ride, lighting strips and various flashing light points alternate.

Not only for fitness swimmers, a 25-meter-long swimming pool is available. It also features a lowering mechanism for visitors with reduced mobility. Morning swimming, which takes place here on selected days in the morning, is popular. So are swimming lessons, which are available throughout the year. Visitors only need to inquire about the current schedule. There are 4 separate lanes in the pool.

For swimming lessons, the school pool is ideal. Its bottom is movable and the depth is adjustable. The pool with a length of 10 meters and a width of 6 meters can be adjusted from a minimum depth of 0.1 meters up to 1.25 meters. It is therefore used mainly for swimming lessons with young children. Part of the school pool includes 2 water spouts, which a lifeguard will start upon request.

For perfect relaxation, a whirlpool bath for 8 people and 2 steam rooms, each with a different aroma, are also part of the water park. And of course, the youngest swimmers were thought of as well. A paddling pool with a slide and water toys are prepared for them. Near the entrance hall, a space for parents with children is prepared, where changing tables can be found, along with a space where visitors can park their strollers. There is also a playroom for children, a microwave oven, and a computer with internet access. In Aquapark Kuřim, visitors can also make use of two heated benches and artificial rattan loungers. And when thirst strikes, visitors can visit the "wet" bar.

During the summer months, visitors can make use of the outdoor swimming pool, which is a separate part of the water park. A 50-meter pool, a family slide, and a children's paddling pool are prepared. On one of the two courts, visitors can play beach volleyball, jump on a trampoline, or beat friends at table tennis. Refreshments are provided by stalls and a restaurant with a summer terrace.

In short, Aquapark Kuřim is a place that is vibrant throughout the year. Therefore, visitors should definitely not miss it during their visit to Kuřim. At the same time, it can be great relaxation after a day full of experiences. The surroundings offer plenty of interesting places where visitors will definitely not be bored. Visitors can hike up to one of the nearby lookout towers, for example, Babí lom near Lelekovic offers a pleasant walk and beautiful views. Or visitors can discover the history of the nearby hrad Veveří. Children will certainly also be greatly delighted by a visit to ZOO Brno.

Finding suitable accommodation near Aquapark Kuřim will be a breeze for visitors. Visitors can explore websites where they will find, among other things, nice chalettes for rent in the Brno region. These are particularly suitable for families with children and groups of friends who appreciate their privacy. Or visitors can choose another type of accommodation. It is entirely up to them. Visitors are wished a pleasant stay.

In addition to the Vodní svět Sareza, also known as Čapkárna, the regional capital of Ostrava offers another place where visitors can experience a wealth of water fun. This is the Vodní areál Jih. As the name suggests, it can be found in the southern part of the city, which is not only a significant university seat and home to the mining and extraction industry but also the cultural centre of the Moravskoslezský kraj region.

What awaits visitors here? The Vodní areál Jih offers a 50-metre swimming pool. It features 6 swimming lanes and a depth ranging from 140 to 180 cm. In the immediate vicinity, sun loungers are placed for sunbathing or relaxation. The relaxation pool, located nearby, is between 100 and 120 cm deep. It includes water and air massage benches, and just like by the swimming pool, sun loungers are placed around it, along with a spacious grassy area.

Adrenaline lovers are usually most drawn to slides and water slides. Visitors will find plenty of them here. One of them is the Kamikadze, and as the name implies, it is clear that overcoming it will require a good deal of courage. It is a 20-metre steep slide, and visitors will be in the splash pool in the blink of an eye. A longer experience can be enjoyed on the open water slides with a length of 86 metres, while the less daring will appreciate the two 16-metre slides.

For families with children, a children's pool and a paddling pool with various water features are prepared, such as a slide, a water cup, a wild river, a water cannon, etc. There is also a playground with a tartan surface featuring plenty of climbing frames, swings, and a climbing wall. Parents may make use of the benches to watch their children play or enjoy refreshments at one of the nearby snack stalls.

Professional staff and lifeguards oversee order and safety throughout the duration of your stay. If visitors wish to engage in sports outside the pools, two beach volleyball courts or two other courts for badminton, foot tennis, or volleyball are available. A local restaurant is also at your disposal without restriction. Do not be mistaken; swimming will certainly build up your appetite.

What other interesting places can be visited in Ostrava? We definitely recommend the ZOO Ostrava, which is the second-largest zoological garden in the Czech Republic, housing around 400 species of animals. Another major attraction for children is the DinoPark Ostrava, although it is not located directly in the city, but in the village of Doubrava, about 15 kilometres away. For those who wish to learn more about the local history of mining, accessible mines are prepared Důl Hlubina or Důl Michal.

Ostrava is long past being just the "black city." If you do not believe it, come and see for yourself. You may choose accommodation near the Vodní areál Jih as your base to be close to the swimming pool. Cosy hotels, guesthouses, and apartments are available. We also recommend cottages and chalets, campsites, or private accommodation, which are located more on the outskirts or in nearby villages. Now, all that is left is to plan everything you wish to see in Ostrava.

The regional capital of Ostrava also has its own water world. It can be found in the former building of the municipal baths. The operation of Vodní svět Sareza commenced on 17 July 2009, following a comprehensive reconstruction of the indoor sports centre. Among other things, this venue also offers saunas, a gym, and water slides. Visitors regularly head here, not only from the Moravskoslezský kraj .

Visitors may enjoy water fun in a 25-metre pool with 6 swimming lanes. The pool is divided into a section for non-swimmers and a section for swimmers. A diving board is located above the swimmers' section. Thanks to barrier-free access and a special JOB wheelchair, swimming is also accessible to disabled visitors. Immediately next to the pool, there is a children's paddling pool with a water mushroom.

Adrenaline enthusiasts will certainly appreciate the 100-metre-long water slide, which is complemented by interesting lighting effects. During the ride, visitors will experience complete darkness, flashing sections of the slide, and a passage through an underwater world. It is, of course, intended not only for children, but adults will also enjoy plenty of fun here. Another interesting experience is offered by Vodní svět Sareza through its water cave. It consists of various nooks and water attractions, such as a hydromassage area for 6 persons or an area with air loungers and geysers. Thanks to ubiquitous cameras, a lifeguard oversees safety here as well.

The local wellness centre will also be a true relaxation paradise. Several types of saunas are prepared – Finnish, steam, and Celtic. A relaxation room, a Kneipp path, and therapeutic baths are also part of the wellness centre at Vodní svět Sareza. Iodine-bromine or peat treatments assist in the treatment of joints, the spine, and blood vessels.

If you wish to work out a little before water relaxation, visit the local fitness centre. Top-class equipment for cardio training, stretching, or strength training will help you improve your physical fitness. Afterwards, you can reward yourself with a protein drink at the bar or purchase nutritional supplements or functional clothing. Those who wish to prepare responsibly for the summer and prevent the first rays of the sun from burning them red will certainly appreciate the two types of solariums.

Aquabistro, located on the first floor, serves for refreshments. It offers a breakfast menu, ice lollies, a wide range of coffees and cocktails, and, outside the summer season, tasty soups are prepared as well. At Aquabistro, it is possible to watch sports broadcasts or use the WiFi connection. A small corner for children is also part of the bistro. As you are on a higher floor, you have Vodní svět Sareza at your fingertips. You can observe the indoor area and, during the summer, also the exterior, where the outdoor swimming pool is located.

The outdoor area includes a swimming pool, a relaxation pool, a slide, and a children's section, where a slide with a gargoyle, a toadstool-shaped shower, and a water-spraying rhinoceros are located. A nearby grassy area offers plenty of space for sunbathing and relaxation. You can also keep an eye on children running off to play in the sandpit or on the wooden castle, which are also part of the outdoor area of Vodní svět Sareza.

Fun is definitely guaranteed here for the whole day. However, if you would like to use Vodní svět Sareza only as a stop for rest after an actively spent day, we have several tips for interesting attractions in Ostrava for you. For families with children, the biggest attraction is certainly ZOO Ostrava, which belongs to the largest zoological gardens in the Česká republika. A visit to the bituminous deep mine Hlubina will certainly be interesting for you as well. And you will also delight your little ones in the entertainment centres Jojo park or Funpark Žirafa.

Accommodation near Vodní svět Sareza is provided by comfortable guesthouses, apartments, and hotels. If you travel a little further, picturesque cottages and chalets or more affordable campsites are at your disposal. If you appreciate information about the surroundings provided by so-called long-term residents, private accommodation will be the right choice for you. You can, however, find plenty of interesting and practical information in information centres or on the internet.

The city of Bohumín offers its residents and visitors the extensive Sportovní centrum Bospor. Its facilities include an ice rink, a sports hall, a football stadium, a hobby park, and an aquacentre.
