Třebíč District: UNESCO Heritage, Culture and Nature

If you are looking for a hotel in Třebíč District, it helps to first decide which aspects of your stay matter most. The range extends from Jewish history and medieval architecture to printing and museum history, landscapes and technical attractions. You can then choose cultural sights and excursions based on what interests you most.

Jewish Quarter and sacred architecture

The UNESCO World Heritage Site in Třebíč comprises the Jewish Quarter, the Jewish cemetery and the Basilica of St. Procopius. The Quarter retains its original street plan and characteristic spatial layout. Historical social functions, including synagogues and schools, have also been preserved. The complex therefore tells the story not only of individual buildings, but also of the Quarter’s former structure. The cemetery makes its own impression, with around 4,000 gravestones. The basilica, in turn, was built in the early 13th century as part of a Benedictine monastery. The urban layout, cemetery and religious building thus offer different ways to explore Třebíč’s history.

Printing, aviation and chateaux

The Kralice Bible Memorial offers a different perspective on cultural history. Its permanent exhibition focuses on the art of printing and the Unity of the Brethren printing press in Kralice. The memorial stands beside the former fortress, where a secret printing press operated by the Unity of the Brethren was active from 1578 to 1620. The Kralice Bible is considered the first Czech Bible translation made from the original languages rather than via the Latin Vulgate. The focus here is therefore on translation and the history of printing. The Koněšín Aviation Museum, by contrast, explores the history of Czechoslovak and Czech aviation.

In Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou, the Baroque chateau complex includes the Church of St. Margaret and a chateau garden. This focus on architecture and gardens complements the themes of printing and technology with another form of historical design.

Landscape and technical attractions

The Mohelno Serpentine Steppe is also part of the landscape of Třebíč District. Serpentinite, low rainfall and abundant sunshine give the area a dry, warm local climate. This creates a distinctive landscape alongside the cultural attractions. The Rokytná Valley towards Příštpo is designated as a nature park for excursions and walks; the two areas thus differ both in their landscapes and in the activities described.

One technical feature of the Dalešice Reservoir is its 100-metre-high dam, considered the highest embankment dam in the Czech Republic. The Horácko excursion boat on the reservoir carries bicycles. As transport details may change seasonally, it is advisable to check the current timetable. This lets you factor in the combination of boat travel and cycling when planning, without relying on fixed departure times.

Map, rail and getting your bearings

The free Třebíčsko tourist map provides an overview of hiking and cycling routes. It also marks tourist and natural attractions as well as monuments. It is distributed through information centres in Třebíč and the surrounding area, selected hotels and guesthouses, and major tourist attractions; distribution locations may change. Map content may also vary between editions.

Třebíčsko has direct express train connections with Brno and České Budějovice. From Prague, connections involve transfers via Havlíčkův Brod or Jihlava. Check connections and transfers against the current timetable. The map and rail information serve different purposes: the map brings together routes and attractions, while the timetable is the key reference for your specific journey.

Brewery and film history

The Dalešice Brewery is associated with the Czech film Postřižiny, which was filmed there in 1980. The visitor complex offers beer and restaurant cuisine; the dining options may change. The beers are brewed without filtration or pasteurisation, using a traditional method with four ingredients. These production details may also change. The site combines film history with brewery and dining themes, while other destinations in Třebíč District are more strongly shaped by architecture, religion or landscape.
