The Muzeum města Tišnova in the renovated Baroque Müllerův dům, the Josefa Jambor Gallery and the signposted trails to the Klucanina lookout tower offer different experiences in Tišnov. There are also the natural and geological features of Květnice and the Svatováclavské hody, a longstanding tradition. You can plan your trip around culture, architecture, nature or a specific festival.
Culture and Architectural History
The Muzeum města Tišnova is housed in the renovated Müllerův dům, a Baroque building. Its speleology section offers insights into otherwise inaccessible areas of the Tišnovský kras karst region. Speleology is the study of caves and focuses on karst landscapes. The museum thus brings together the architecture of a Baroque house and a distinctive subject related to the landscape.
The Josefa Jambor Gallery presents contemporary visual art as well as works by Josef Jambor from the Tišnov collection. Its focus differs from that of the museum: the historic building and speleology section are among the museum’s subjects, while art and the collection take centre stage at the gallery.
The Church of St. Wenceslas in Tišnov is also of interest to architecture enthusiasts. This late Gothic place of worship has undergone Baroque and Neoclassical alterations. It complements the Baroque Müllerův dům with a different architectural history, bringing together several stylistic periods.
Festival Traditions and Annual Programme
The Svatováclavské hody is a longstanding Tišnov tradition, celebrated on the feast day of St. Wenceslas. The 2025 programme included a performance of folk dances by children and the decorating of the maypole. It also featured a market, a fair organised by non-profit organisations and information about the local folk costume. The feast day provides a fixed date, while the specific programme may vary from year to year. Dates and venues also vary. If you would like to plan your trip around this festival, check the programme for the relevant year.
Signposted Trails and Nature
Tourist routes marked in blue and yellow lead to the Klucanina lookout tower. The yellow route is designed as an educational trail and is suitable for children and pushchairs. If a pushchair is an important consideration for your plans, this route offers a specific option.
Květnice was declared a nature reserve in 1928 and consists partly of limestone and partly of quartzite. From spring to autumn, you can see numerous rare warmth-loving plants there. These offer two distinct ways to explore nature: the rock composition provides a geological perspective on Květnice, while the plant life offers a seasonal consideration when planning your trip.
Cycling in Tišnov
A popular starting point for cycling trips in Tišnov connects to the Mikroregion PORTA cycle route network. The route also leads to Drásov and a car park at the cemetery in Tišnov. This lets you choose how to explore: take a signposted trail to the lookout tower or a cycling route connected to a named cycle network. As route conditions can change, check them before setting out.
