Trebnuska – Chapel, Spring and Mills

Třebnuška appeals to travellers who wish to combine cultural history, natural features and unusual local stories. The focal point is the Chapel of St. Adalbert in Třebnuška; there is also a literary-inspired spring, a geological site with clear access restrictions, as well as mountains, churches and ruins in the surrounding area. If you are looking for accommodation in Trebnuska, you can choose between focusing on the immediate locality and pursuing a broader regional itinerary.

The Chapel of St. Adalbert and its history

The Chapel of St. Adalbert in Třebnuška is a Baroque masonry pilgrimage chapel built in the first half of the 18th century. It stands alone on a hill approximately 850 metres southwest of Lhotka. It is said to stand on the site of an older wooden chapel, where a hermit is mentioned. The approximate distance of 850 metres and the southwest direction provide a concrete frame for orientation between Lhotka and the hill. Here, the Baroque period of construction is linked with an older tradition.

Forest spring, poem and springtime event

A 6.4-kilometre route leads from Zbiroh to the Sládek Forest Spring. The spring inspired the poet Josef Václav Sládek to write the poem Lesní studánka. Since its ceremonial unveiling in 2012, a memorial stone has stood at the spring. Since 2013, the Otevírání lesní studánky J. V. Sládka celebration has taken place every spring. This combination of a specific distance, literary connection and recurring event provides a cultural and scenic reference point for your planning. If you wish to include the celebration, plan your visit for spring and use the 6.4-kilometre distance as a guide for the route.

Geology with clear access restrictions

The Třebnuška geological site features rhyolites with xenoliths from the basement rock. Access is possible only with special permission, as the site includes a military area, a quarry and private land.
