Tourism

Jedovnice lies near the Moravian Karst nature reserve. The parish St. Peter and Paul Church, which was built in the 1780s, is remarkable for the post-Second Vatican Council adaptation of its interior (by Mikuláš Medek, Jan Koblasa and Ludvík Kolek).

In 2018 it was the venue for the Linux Bier Wanderung.
