Hřebeč: Tasov, local history and the Hřebečská přehrada

If you are looking for a hotel in Hřebeč, local points of interest can help you choose a destination that suits your interests. Tvrziště Tasov and the founding of the settlement in 1285 offer specific connections to local history. The Hřebečská přehrada is a place for leisure activities; sports facilities available for rent and the municipal library add local amenities to the picture. This can help you decide whether you are considering Hřebeč primarily for its history, its body of water or its local facilities.

Tvrziště Tasov and the history of the village

Tvrziště Tasov is a significant archaeological site in the cadastral area of Hřebeč. It lies east of Hřebeč, at the edge of a slope above the road. Its location and inclusion in the cadastral area give the site a clear connection to the locality.

The archaeological remains include a circular core, a surrounding ditch and a rampart built up on the southern side. These features describe the site’s layout: the core and ditch form the centre, while the rampart is on the southern side. Both the structure and the location on the slope are important points of reference when interpreting the Tasov fortification.

Another chapter of local history begins in 1285. Vojslav Rebecki founded a new settlement with a fortified manor house west of the destroyed Tasov fortification, in the valley of the Lidický potok. The archaeological remains of the fortification and the founding of the new settlement mark different stages in the history of the locality. The Lidický potok is part of this context: the settlement was established in its valley.

The Hřebečská přehrada and municipal amenities

The Hřebečská přehrada covers 4 hectares and was built on the Lidický potok in 1976. It offers a different point of interest from the archaeological site: the přehrada is a place for leisure activities. The Lidický potok is relevant here too, this time as the watercourse on which the body of water was built. History and leisure activities can thus be considered as two distinct aspects of a stay.

Visitors to the Hřebečská přehrada are asked to follow the visitor rules. As the rules may change, check the municipality’s latest notices before your visit. There is a specific restriction on fishing: fishing is prohibited in a spawning or breeding area of the přehrada. If you would like to fish, find out about the current regulations in advance; restrictions may change.

The Sportovní areál Hřebeč allows members of the public to rent selected sports facilities. If you would like to include this option in your plans, contact the municipality before your visit to ask about current conditions and availability. Rental arrangements and available facilities may change; checking in advance can help you plan this part of your stay.

The Hřebeč municipal library also offers public services. In addition to books and magazines, board games are available to borrow; free internet access is also available. This information adds a municipal amenity to the overview of Hřebeč, distinct from leisure activities at the přehrada and the rental of sports facilities.

A cultural connection

Karel Šiktanc is also part of the locality’s cultural history. The Czech poet, lyricist and screenwriter was born in Hřebeč u Kladna. His biography adds a literary connection to the archaeological and settlement-history perspectives. Together, the Tasov site, the founding of the settlement in 1285 and Šiktanc’s origins offer different insights into Hřebeč’s history.
