Těškovice: Hilly Landscape, Cycling Route and Theatre

When choosing a destination for your hotel stay, Těškovice offers several distinct features: a varied hilly landscape, a named cycling route, and a history of the town and its theatre. There are also forests with opportunities for hiking and a cultural tradition that ranges from historic architecture to amateur theatre.

Hilly Landscape and Views

The municipality lies in a varied hilly landscape at an elevation of 291 to 460 metres; Mečník / Mezník is the highest point. From the highest points near Těškovice, views extend to the Beskydy Mountains, Ostrava’s industrial area and the spa town of Klimkovice. The view thus takes in a mountain region, an industrial area and a spa town. The Jamník Valley is one of the two valleys surrounding Těškovice. The difference in elevation between the stated figures is 169 metres.

The forests around the town offer opportunities for hiking and are also visited for mushroom picking. In the vicinity of Těškovice, a recreational centre lies in the Setina Valley on the edge of the Oderské vrchy Nature Park. The nature park’s forested landscape invites visitors to walk year-round and is suitable for mushroom picking in late summer and autumn.

Cycling and Getting Around

Cycling route 6193 runs from Bílovec via Tísek and Těškovice to Pustá Polom. From Těškovice, the route follows road II/465 towards Vyškovice and turns into the forest at a tourist signpost. The sequence of named places makes the longer route easy to follow; the section near Těškovice adds the specific direction towards Vyškovice and the turn into the forest.

Local History and Theatre

The first written records of Těškovice date back to 1377. The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was built in 1863 in the Neo-Gothic style. These two dates mark different historical reference points: 1377 is the earliest written record of the town, while 1863 is the year the church was built.

The traditional theatre festival “Těškovické jaro” presents plays by ensembles from the surrounding area and further afield. Individual programmes are tied to specific dates; check the event dates if you would like to plan to attend a performance. The Berani amateur theatre ensemble has been continuously devoted to amateur theatre since 1949, performs at amateur theatre competitions and co-organises the theatre showcase “Těškovické jaro”.

A notice from 2026 describes the uphill cycling time trial organised by TJ Sokol Těškovice as a traditional event and refers to its 34th edition; the event date announced there has already passed.
