Zimní stadion Olomouc, Indoor ice rink in Olomouc, Czech Republic.
Zimní stadion Olomouc is an ice hockey venue in the city featuring a full-sized rink and seating for around 5,500 people. The facility includes training areas and modern equipment designed for competitive matches and player development.
The venue opened in 1948 as an early example of modern sports infrastructure in Czechoslovakia. A major upgrade came in 1967 when a roof was added, allowing year-round use of the ice.
The rink serves as home to HC Olomouc, a top-tier team in Czech ice hockey whose matches draw passionate fans from across the region. Visitors can feel how important the sport is to local life when attending games here.
The location is straightforward to reach, but check opening times ahead of your visit since they vary based on training schedules and matches. Dress warmly, and wear shoes with good grip if you are walking on icy surfaces near the building.
The roof structure built in 1967 by Ferdinand Lederer is a truss design already at its load limit, so a multimedia cube cannot be hung from it as at other arenas. Locals nickname the stadium Kurník, Plecharéna or Kohoutí plecharéna, and in 2009 it was named a disgrace of the city.
