Bažantnice Lives – Revitalization of Hodonín After the Tornado

Hodonín had planned the revitalization of the suburban Bažantnice forest as early as 2018. The South Moravian tornado, which hit the town in June 2021, accelerated the entire process. At the same time, the scope of the revitalized area was significantly expanded. In response to the disaster's impact, our foundation allocated a total of 6 million EUR, of which 2 million EUR was designated for immediate assistance to affected families and 4 million EUR specifically for the restoration of Hodonín’s Bažantnice. In addition to this aid, we produced the documentary film Tornado – One Year Later. The restoration of the Hodonínsko region is a completely natural part of our foundation’s activities, especially since our founder, Karel Komárek, comes from Hodonín.

Bažantnice: A Space for Everyone

Thanks to us, Bažantnice is becoming a place where everyone can find something for themselves. We are creating a space with respect for the people who live in the town, respect for the nature that surrounds us, and respect for the history of the town and region. Bažantnice will be a place for relaxation and active recreation, for spending time with family and friends, a place for education, and a birthplace for new sports talents.

House of Nature – National Natural Monument Hodonínská Dúbrava

The House of Nature Hodonínská Dúbrava is part of a network of 12 Houses of Nature located in protected landscape areas across the Czech Republic. The new visitor and information center of the Bažantnice forest park was officially opened on June 1, 2024.

Suburban Forest Park Bažantnice in Hodonín

The goal of the suburban forest revitalization is to create a recreational area not only for the Bažantnice district but for the entire town of Hodonín. The forest park will offer many opportunities for sports and leisure activities. Visitors will appreciate trails for pedestrians, cyclists, and a new educational trail. The project is expected to be completed in June 2025.

Sports Complex U Červených domků in Hodonín

The sports complex will expand from four to seven hectares. Athletes will gain practical and modern facilities and sports grounds that they have long been striving for. The plan is to open the sports facilities to the general public, providing new opportunities for active leisure activities and community gatherings. The project is expected to be completed in June 2025.

Children's Town in Hodonín

The children's, or rather scout town, was used by children and scouts before the tornado. We are continuing this tradition while giving it a new dimension. The site will feature a complex of 13 cabins and a main building with facilities, communal spaces, a fire pit, and a playground for children, youth, and adults. The plan also includes restoring greenery. The expected completion date of the project is November 2025.

U Červených domků Park

The goal of this newly developing park is to create a space for both activity and relaxation. At its centre, there will be a large grassy area surrounded by a path suitable for walking, running, scootering, or rollerblading. The park will also include a modern outdoor sports area, a climbing wall, and a basketball hoop.

Park in Front of U Červených domků Elementary School

The park revitalisation project includes the installation of original play elements and relaxation areas. It will also feature additional improvements to make the space accessible and enjoyable for all generations. The park will thus become a place not only for schoolchildren and residents of the nearby houses but also for visitors from across the city and the surrounding area. The project is expected to be completed in November 2026.
