Kopřivnice and the Tatra Museum: a family trip from Rožnov

When it rains or turns damp at Anděl and the children are bored, I have a clear tip for you: Kopřivnice and its Tatra Museum. It is a place that delights boys, girls and grown-ups who remember their dad’s old Tatra alike.

How to get from Rožnov to Kopřivnice

From Penzion Anděl it is about 25 km to Kopřivnice. By car you are there in 30 minutes heading via Frenštát pod Radhoštěm. Parking at the museum is no trouble, so the car is the most convenient option.

The Tatra Museum, a gem among technical museums

Kopřivnice is the birthplace of the famous Tatra car company, and the Tatra Museum is among the very best you will see at a technical museum in this country. Under one roof you will find:

• the legendary aerodynamic Tatra 87, which was driven around the world
• historic passenger cars and trucks from the company’s beginnings
• racing specials from the Dakar Rally
• a display of carriages and railway draisines from the days when more than just cars were made here

Admission runs in the order of higher tens to lower hundreds of crowns, with a discount for children. It is best to check the opening hours and current price list in advance.

Why it is an ideal trip for families

• the whole museum is under one roof, so the weather is no concern
• the displays are clear and engaging even for younger children
• the cars and motorcycles entertain across generations
• you can do the tour in two to three hours, just right for a half-day trip

What else there is around Kopřivnice

Kopřivnice combines beautifully with neighbouring Štramberk, home to the Trúba tower and the famous Štramberk Ears. The two places are a short distance apart, so you can easily make a full day of it. Kopřivnice itself also has the Fojtství museum and the birthplace of the runner Emil Zátopek.

Come back to us at Anděl

After a day full of cars and walking, a warm coffee and a homemade cake at our café will do you good. And if you want to warm your bones in peace, book the private sauna with us in advance.
