Těně lies amid the natural surroundings of the Brdy region and is well suited as a starting point for walks and mushroom picking. At the same time, a chapel, two freedom lime trees planted in 1919 and historic mining remains point to different aspects of the village’s history. Cyclists also have a clear point of reference: in Těně, a cycle path connects to Route RT 3, which runs from Regensburg via Plzeň to Prague. Nature activities, local history and a named cycling connection are therefore all options when choosing the focus of your trip.

Nature and Cycling

Walking and mushroom picking cater to different interests: you can plan your time outdoors around a walk or picking mushrooms. Těně is well suited as a starting point for either. The cycle path adds another option: in Těně, it connects to RT 3, which runs from Regensburg via Plzeň to Prague. When deciding what to focus on, you can therefore choose whether you would mainly like to experience the Brdy nature on foot and while mushroom picking, or whether the connection to the cycle path will shape your plans. These are different ways to experience your stay, not one fixed route.

Visitor Parking and Parking

The designated visitor car park in Těně for the Brdy Protected Landscape Area is a starting point for heading towards the Tři Trubky hunting lodge. This gives you a specific destination in that direction. Parking is strictly prohibited at the pond and on the surrounding grounds; follow the signs there. Keep this rule in mind when planning your visit.

Chapel and Freedom Lime Trees

The chapel in Těně is a small, masonry religious building that probably dates from the early 19th century. Its features include a bell tower, a memorial cross and an enclosure. The chapel was originally made of wood; after a fire, it was rebuilt in its present form around 1877. Its architectural details and the history of its reconstruction thus come together in one building.

Two freedom lime trees were planted in Těně in 1919. They represent a different point of interest from the chapel: here, the trees and the year they were planted together are the focus, while the chapel draws attention to its architecture and reconstruction history. Those interested in local history can distinguish these two points of interest by their character, rather than treating them as similar sights.

Mining Traces in the Landscape

Mining remains can be found northeast of Těně, particularly in V Kopaninách, as well as in the fields north of the village. These place names point to several areas and broaden the focus beyond individual buildings or trees. Mining history is therefore also part of the landscape, not just a topic in the village centre. If you are choosing what interests you, there are several ways to explore Těně’s history: a religious building with a documented history of its construction, a dated memorial, and mining remains at named locations in the surrounding area.
