Large steps

  1. mistoPod Valy, 688 01 Uherský Brod

One interesting place to stop on a stroll around the town is the newly-refurbished large steps, which were probably built at the same time as the historical grammar school building in 1898. They form a distinctive link between the historical town centre and the station. One new feature of the refurbished large steps is a list of prominent figures in or from the town, carved into the risers of the 35 steps. The list covers a diverse range of 44 people who played a prominent role either at a time in history, in their profession, or in terms of human destiny. These are the names of people who lived or were born here and who had a real impact on the history of the town and whose importance extended beyond its boundaries into Czech culture, politics, the military, religion or teaching. There is also an information kiosk there, where you can find out more about these notable figures.
