Tichá between stream landscapes and church history

Tichá combines natural features with a nature trail and church history that is clearly dated. The town is located in the Přírodní park Podbeskydí nature park. If you are considering Tichá as a destination for a hotel stay, you can first weigh up whether landscape, local knowledge or cultural history is the deciding factor for your trip.

Valley, ridge and cascade

The Tichávka flows from east to west through the deep valley in the centre of Tichá. The highest point of Tichavská Hůrka is at 544 m above sea level. The Travertinová kaskáda is on the southwestern slope of Tichavská Hůrka and on the right bank of the Tichávka. These details connect the stream in the town centre with a precisely located slope and riverbank. The valley, high point and cascade can thus be understood as distinct landscape features. If nature is a particular priority when choosing a destination, the cascade offers a specific point of interest alongside the valley.

The nature trail in Tichá

The first nature trail in Tichá was officially opened on 17 November 2012. It has five stations with information boards, as well as several mini-stations marked with QR signs. For travellers interested in local knowledge, the nature trail is a distinct focus alongside the landscape and architectural history. Its five information-board stations and the QR-marked mini-stations are distinguished by their signage. This makes it possible to consider the nature trail as a subject in its own right when exploring Tichá, rather than equating it with the town’s natural or church-related features.

Church of St. Nicholas: destruction and replacement

The history of the Church of St. Nicholas comprises two clearly distinct events. On 13 August 1964, lightning struck the original church, which was completely destroyed. In 1976, a brick church with a modern design was built on the same site as its replacement. The shared location links the original building and its replacement; the dates distinguish the loss of the original building from its later reconstruction. For travellers interested in architecture and local history, this sequence offers a specific historical point of interest. The brick construction and modern design characterize the replacement building.

Readings and stained glass

In summer 2026, readings were held regularly on Thursdays at the Tichá library as part of the “3 pohádky ve 3” programme. This seasonal literary programme is distinct in time from the church history, shaped by the events of 1964 and 1976. The readings are a specific cultural feature of the summer season of 2026.

Stained glass also offers an introduction to the applied arts: Alžběta Fojtíková learned various techniques after attending a secondary school of applied arts in Brno. Alongside the seasonal reading programme and church architecture, applied arts and stained glass also feature among the cultural topics. Depending on whether you are more interested in events tied to a particular time, architectural history or applied arts, Tichá offers different points of emphasis for planning your trip.
