Visit Ostrava, an industrial city in the Czech Republic. The entire industrial heritage is a tourist attraction!

Posted on 2024-04-222024-04-22 by Editor in Chief

Czech Kappa at a pension in the suburbs of Ostrava In Ostrava, we stayed at a pension called “Mlín Vodníka Slámi” located in the countryside about 30 minutes by car from the city center. Many place names in the Czech Republic are difficult to pronounce and remember, and this one was no exception. I had taken the liberty of naming it the “Kappa Pension,” because the name “Vodníka Slámi” means “the kappa” in Czech. Vodníka” is named after the Czech kappa, Vodniek (Voda means water in Czech), and there is a statue of Vodniek by the stream that runs through the grounds! The kappa is quite different from the kappa in Japan, but the Czech kappa is somehow lovable. This pension, located in a peaceful environment surrounded by nature, is a historic place that used to be a flour mill. There is a children’s playground, horses, sheep, and other animals, and you can also enjoy horseback riding and camping. During the beautiful green season, weddings and receptions can be held here. In such a rural area of Europe (excuse me!), you can enjoy a relaxing stay at a pension. It would be nice to have a relaxing stay at a pension in such a rural area of Europe (pardon the pun!).

In a picturesque small town, I encountered a traditional confectionery that has been handed down for 800 years. The next town is Stramberg, a short hour’s drive southwest of Ostrava. In this small, cute town, the Stramberg Castle stands on top of a hill, which “belonged to a landowner in the mid-14th century, although it is unknown when it was built. After a breathless climb to the top of the 40-meter-high cylindrical tower, we were rewarded with a panoramic view of the pretty, miniature cityscape. There is also a corner under the castle where old wooden houses built in the 18th and 19th centuries stand side by side. As we walked down a time-traveling path, we headed for a store that manufactures and sells the town’s specialty, “Stramberg’s Ears. Stramberg’s Ear is a sweet baked good with a rustic flavor made with honey, spice mix, sugar, and other ingredients. As the name suggests, they are shaped like human ears. There are about 10 manufacturers in the city, each carefully preserving their own flavor and continuing to make them. The shape is formed in a mold (a conical cup) right after it is taken out of the oven. According to the owner, every year the town holds a traditional festival called “Stramberg Ear Festival,” where all the “ear makers” in the town get together and bake giant “ears” on the square. I was curious about this, so I looked it up. I was curious, so I looked it up and found that this year’s festival will be held on April 27. I want to go there too much!
