Tišnov: Discover culture, architectural history and nature

Tišnov offers several ways to plan a stay: architectural history, art, a local tradition and trails through the countryside. The following topics highlight different aspects and can help you plan your trip around them.

Culture and architectural history in Tišnov

The Muzeum města Tišnova is housed in the renovated Müllerův dům, a Baroque building. Its speleology department offers insights into otherwise inaccessible areas of the Tišnovský kras karst region. This brings historic architecture and a landscape-related subject together: the building sets the scene, while the department directs attention beneath the surface of the karst.

The Galerie Josefa Jambora presents contemporary visual art as well as works by Josef Jambor from the Tišnov collection. The church of sv. Václava offers a different perspective on history: it is a late Gothic religious building that has undergone Baroque and Neoclassical alterations. If you are interested in architectural history, you can see different periods side by side; if you prefer art, the gallery offers a distinct focus.

Tradition and programme of the Svatováclavské hody

The Svatováclavské hody are one of Tišnov’s longstanding traditions and are celebrated on the feast day of St. Václav. The 2025 programme included a performance of folk dances by children, decorating the maypole, a market, a fair run by charitable organisations and information about the local traditional costume. These specific programme items refer to 2025; dates and venues vary from year to year. So if you would like to include the festival in your trip, check the programme for the relevant year.

Marked trails and countryside

One blue-marked and one yellow-marked hiking trail lead to the Klucanina lookout tower. The yellow trail is designed as an educational trail and is suitable for children and pushchairs. This suitability applies specifically to the yellow trail. If this matters for your plans, look out for the trail colour; both marked trails lead to the stated destination.

Květnice offers a different view of the landscape. It was declared a nature reserve in 1928 and consists partly of limestone and partly of quartzite. From spring to autumn, many rare heat-loving plants can be seen there. If you would like to include these plants in your plans, the stated period is a useful guide.

Cycling is another focus: a popular starting point for cycling trips in Tišnov connects to the Mikroregion PORTA cycle route network. The connection also leads to Drásov and to a car park at a cemetery in Tišnov. This makes it possible to plan cycling trips separately from the described routes to Klucanina: here, the focus is on connecting to a cycle route network and the destinations mentioned.

During your stay, you can choose between art and architectural history, a festival programme that varies over time, marked trails and seasonal plants. These topics offer different reasons to explore Tišnov, without requiring you to include them all in the same trip plan.
