The municipality of Ratiboř has created a working group that has built a nature trail called "Forgotten Fates" focusing on historical events and has set itself the goal of collecting written materials, documents and photographs from the history of the municipality. We have ascertained that it is still possible to obtain these materials, which are now rare and we are concerned that they should not fall into oblivion.

We would therefore like to invite everyone to help us enrich our municipal archives with new materials from the history of our village. We will arrange to have them photographed and scanned. We are mainly interested in old photographs, written documents, newspaper clippings, awards, certificates from partisans, teaching certificates, ration cards, handwritten descriptions of village events, etc. Originals are returned.

You can send us any copies of the above materials to the following e-mail addresses:

How the Ratiboř Nature Trail Forgotten Fates came into being

The first initiator of the project to commemorate some of the events from the World War II period of our village was Bc. Ondřej Haša with his friend Roman Babica from Leskovec. Thanks to the exemplary cooperation with the Municipal Office in Ratiboř and especially his interest in expanding the knowledge about the important events of the village, work on further information panels has begun. It was agreed with the graphic designer Ing. Štěpán Janíček that all the infopanels will have a unified design following the panel of the Ludvík Hynek Military Museum.

So far, the following panels have been created

1. Thronus Regis
2. By the old road
3. Ctibor Čermák
4. Paseka U Hynků
5. Jan Maniš
6. The cruel fate of a hostage

You can view the location of all panels directly on the map.czwebsite or you can download the map in a PDF file for printing from the ns website .dev.obecni.net
