History
Strání is located in an ancient mining area and an apparent settlement area of the Stone Age Corded Ware Culture (2,900–2,350 BC). In the 11th and 12th centuries, the area of Strání was on the so-called Hungarian Way. This road was used by Bohemian troops as they marched to attack the Turks and Tatars in Hungary. After the mid-13th century, it became an important commercial link between Hungary and the Czech lands. The first written mention of Strání is from 1318. In 1359, Strání was first referred to as a market town. In 1483, tolls were collected in Strání for the upkeep of the commercial road, and in 1492 Strání included 44 houses and two mills. In 1502, John Bernard of Kunovice acquired the Ostroh estate, including Strání. In 1605, the market town of Strání was devastated by the Stephen Bocskai's army and it became a village again. The Bernard of Kunovice family owned the estate until the Battle of White Mountain in 1618, when their lands were confiscated from them by the Emperor because the family supported the failed rebellion against him. In 1625, the estate was sold to the Liechtenstein family, which maintained ownership of Strání until 1945.
Geography
Strání is located about southeast of Uherské Hradiště and west of Trenčín, on the border with Slovakia. It lies in the White Carpathians mountain range and within the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area. The highest point of Strání and of the entire White Carpathians is the mountain Velká Javořina at above sea level, whose peak is located on the Czech–Slovak border. The built-up area is situated in the valley of the Klanečnice Stream, which originates in the hills in the western part of the municipality. The Velička River originates in the territory of Strání, on the slope of Velká Javořina.
