Chvalčov is best known within the Zlín Region for Svatý Hostýn, a major Moravian pilgrimage site on 735-metre Hostýn Hill. Set in the wooded Hostýn Hills, the municipality occupies the foothills below this long-established sacred summit. At the top stands the Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, the focal point of an ensemble that has drawn pilgrims from across Moravia for generations. Marked routes also make the area a practical base for walks through the surrounding ridges and forests, while the settlement itself remains closely tied to the rural character of eastern Moravia.
