For a stay in Dreihacken, cycling and cultural history can be considered as two distinct focal points. Regional cycling route No. 2068 reaches Tři Sekery at kilometer 9.0 and then continues into the town center. Museums, mining history, and the church add specific local topics to your plans. This can help you decide whether the route or the cultural sites should shape your stay more strongly.
Cycling and Finding Your Way Around Town
Regional cycling route No. 2068 is 11 km long, rated easy, and suitable for touring bikes. It runs mostly on paved paths. Its length, easy rating, and suitability for touring bikes address different selection questions: route distance, difficulty level, and the appropriate type of bike. Before setting out on a specific ride, check the signage, route, and local conditions. The second regional cycling route, No. 2069, passes through Tři Sekery at kilometer 3.9. The kilometer figures mark different reference points: 11 km is the total length of route 2068, kilometer 9.0 marks where it reaches Tři Sekery and continues into the town center, while 3.9 indicates where route 2069 passes through the town.
Museums and Planning Your Visit
Minimuzeum Bouda features an exhibition of wooden beads and small items from the municipality of Tři Sekery. Visits are possible by prior arrangement with the mayor; arrange your visit in advance and confirm the current visiting arrangements locally. Muzeum Železné opony is located in Slatina in the former border guard barracks. The former border guard complex, acquired by the municipality of Tři Sekery, houses the museum on the ground floor. You should confirm its current use locally before visiting. The arrangements differ for planning a visit: Bouda requires a prior appointment, while the current use of the museum in Slatina should be confirmed. The thematic connections also differ: Bouda focuses on objects from the municipality, while in Slatina the museum is housed in a former border guard complex.
Mining History and Cultural Heritage
Mining is another topic marked by two historical milestones. Mining was already taking place in Tři Sekery in 1538; from 1607, the village had the right to mine freely. Copper, lead, silver, and cobalt ores were mined over a long period in the mining district in the Tři Sekery area. The years refer to different aspects: 1538 points to mining, while 1607 marks the right to mine freely; the ore types identify the resources mined over a long period.
Another historical trace concerns the furnishings of the church “Kostel ÄŚtrnácti svatĂ˝ch pomocnĂkĹŻ v nouzi” in TĹ™i Sekery. The furnishings were brought from the dissolved Pauline monastery in SvÄ›tce near Tachov. The church is also a venue for frequent cultural gatherings. Individual programs vary; if you would like to attend an event, check the specific dates in advance. The church thus offers two distinct points of interest: the origin of its furnishings and its recurring cultural use.
