Slatinky is a municipality and village in Prostějov District in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 600 inhabitants.
Slatinky is located about 8km (05miles) north of Prostějov and 11km (07miles) southwest of Olomouc. It lies on the border between the Upper Morava Valley and Zábřeh Highlands. The highest point of the municipality and the whole Haná region is the hill Velký Kosíř at 442m (1,450feet) above sea level.[2]
The Kosířské lomy National Nature Monument extends into the southern part of the municipal territory.[3]
The first written mention of Slatinky is from 1247. Until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1848, the village belonged mostly to the Plumlov and Chudobín estates and to the St. Catherine Monastery in Olomouc.[2]
The railway line Prostějov–Červenka passes through the eastern part of the municipality, but there is no train station. The municipality is served by the station Třebčín in neighbouring Lutín.
Slatinky is poor in monuments. The only protected cultural monument is an archaeological site with 36 tumuli from 5800 to 5000 BC.[4]
The main landmark of Slatinky is the Chapel of Saints John and Paul. It dates from 1822.[5]
