Cyril and Methodius Route

The Cyril and Methodius Route is a long-distance trail that extends across several European countries, connecting important religious and educational sites. The section in the Olomouc Region follows easy terrain and is marked with dark blue symbols on trail signs.

The trail follows the historical mission of two ninth-century saints who spread Christianity and literacy among Slavic peoples. Their legacy shaped the spiritual and cultural identity of the region for centuries afterward.

The route connects places where you can see local devotion to the two saints in churches and chapels scattered throughout the region. Many villages along the path still practice traditions rooted in this religious heritage.

The section in the Olomouc Region is beginner-friendly and well marked with signs, making it easy to follow the route. Comfortable shoes and water are important, especially on days when you plan to walk longer sections.

The route leads to a pilgrimage church in a village that holds special meaning for many walkers seeking a spiritual connection to the saints. This sanctuary attracts people from far and wide who come to experience this devotional destination.
