A castle, museum and nature trail give you different options to consider when planning your trip to Nýrsko. The history of Pajrek and the forest theatre, the permanent exhibitions at Muzeum Nýrsko, and a route from the market square along the Úhlava River offer specific points of interest. Seasonal activities and the outdoor swimming pool are also available. This gives you the chance to weigh up in advance which themes matter to you during your stay.

Pajrek Castle and its architecture

Pajrek Castle was founded before 1356 and is one of the few donjon castles in Czechia. Its square tower is a distinctive feature. The original tower had a footprint of 16 × 16 metres and at least three residential floors—details that give a clear sense of its size and use. The west wall and part of the north wall of Pajrek have survived. This allows you to consider the original complex and the surviving wall remains as two distinct aspects of the castle, without conflating them.

Museum topics and tours

Muzeum Nýrsko has permanent exhibitions dedicated to Okula and Královský hvozd. These are the specific topics for anyone who wants to plan a visit around the exhibition themes. Over the course of its history, the museum has also held more than fifty exhibitions. This figure is part of the museum’s history; it does not describe its current exhibition programme.

Muzeum Nýrsko offers tailored museum tours for groups of five or more. If you are planning a group visit, this minimum group size is a useful starting point. Check the current options in advance if a tour is important to your stay.

Nature trail and forest theatre

The Naučná stezka Nýrsko is about five kilometres long. It starts at the market square and passes along the Úhlava River. The length and starting point give you practical information for planning your day, without specifying a walking time. If you are looking for a walk with a clearly identified starting point, you can include this nature trail as a separate activity.

Lesní divadlo Nýrsko also has a documented history: construction began in 1933, and the premiere took place on 23 September 1934. The two dates mark different stages—first the start of construction, then the premiere. They add another point of cultural and historical interest to the history of Pajrek, without making any claims about today’s events programme.

Seasonal leisure activities

Koupaliště Nýrsko outdoor swimming pool has two saltwater outdoor pools. The large pool has a maximum depth of 1.6 metres. After a complete reconstruction, the pool reopened in June 2017. If you are planning a visit, check current availability in advance.

Private ski lessons are offered at Skiareal Nýrsko. This is a different seasonal option from the outdoor pool and nature trail, and may influence your choice if ski lessons are part of your travel plans. Seasonal availability and booking arrangements may change, so check the current options in advance.
