Discover Třebíč District: Culture and Landscape

In Třebíč District, traces of Jewish history and medieval monastic culture meet landscapes such as the Dalešice Reservoir and the Mohelno Serpentine Steppe. Cultural sites, hiking and cycling opportunities, and distinctive regional stories offer different starting points for planning your trip. First consider whether Třebíč’s historic ensemble, exploring the countryside, or a combination of both should be the focus; then you can search for a hotel more purposefully.

UNESCO Culture in Třebíč

The UNESCO ensemble in Třebíč comprises the Jewish Quarter, the Jewish Cemetery and the Basilica of St Procopius. Together, these sites convey different aspects of the town’s history: a historic quarter with preserved social functions, a cemetery and a basilica that was originally part of a Benedictine monastery.

The original street plan and typical spatial layout have been preserved in the Jewish Quarter. Synagogues and schools are among the historic social functions that remain. The Jewish Cemetery contains around 4,000 gravestones. The Basilica of St Procopius was built in the early 13th century as part of a Benedictine monastery. This UNESCO ensemble thus brings together evidence of Jewish community life and medieval monastic history.

Printing History, a Château Complex and Aviation

The Kralice Bible Memorial dedicates its permanent exhibition to the art of printing and the Brethren’s printing house in Kralice. The Kralice Bible is considered the first Czech Bible translation made from the original languages rather than via the Latin Vulgate. Next to the memorial is the former fortress, where a secret Brethren printing house operated from 1578 to 1620. Bible translation, the art of printing and the printing house’s long history give this place a distinctive cultural profile.

In Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou, a Baroque château complex includes the Church of St Margaret and a château garden. The Letecké muzeum Koněšín explores a different subject: the history of Czechoslovak and Czech aviation. These different areas of interest show that cultural destinations in the district are not limited to a single era or type of attraction.

Landscape, Reservoir and Excursions

The Mohelno Serpentine Steppe is characterised by a dry, warm local climate influenced by serpentinite, low precipitation and sunshine. The Dalešice Reservoir offers a different highlight: its 100-metre-high dam is considered the highest embankment dam in the Czech Republic. The excursion boat Horácko carries bicycles on the reservoir. As transport details may change seasonally, check the current timetable before planning a trip.

Cycling and walking excursions can also follow different themes. A cycling route to technical monuments includes the Dalešice Brewery exhibition and Wilsonova skála. The Rokytná Valley towards Příštpo is designated as a nature park for excursions and walks. If you would like to combine visits to cultural sites with outdoor activity, you can consider these offerings as separate elements of your trip planning rather than combining them into a single route.

Brewery and Practical Information

The Dalešice Brewery is associated with the Czech film Postřižiny, which was filmed there in 1980. The visitor complex includes beer and a restaurant kitchen; Dalešice beers are brewed without filtration or pasteurisation using a traditional four-ingredient method. Food and drink offerings and production details may change. If you are planning a visit, check the latest information in advance.

A free tourist map of the Třebíčsko region is distributed through information centres in Třebíč and the surrounding area, selected hotels and guesthouses, and larger tourist attractions. It provides a consolidated overview of hiking and cycling trails and marks tourist attractions, natural attractions and monuments. As editions and availability may change, ask for the current edition if needed. Direct express train services connect Třebíčsko with Brno and České Budějovice; from Prague, connections involve changing trains in Havlíčkův Brod or Jihlava.
