Třeština – Townscape, Háj and Morava

The Church of Saint Anthony of Padua in Třeština is a single-nave Neo-Gothic church completed in 1866. It was built on the site of an earlier chapel; its square tower has an onion dome. At the crossroads towards Dubicko and Police stands the Vysoudil Chapel, a brick triangular wayside shrine dating from 1745.

The built heritage also includes two noteworthy farmsteads. Farmstead No. 2 in Třeština is a regionally unusual type of rural estate with a richly decorated main façade. No. 33 in Třeština is a listed agricultural estate dating from 1837, with a rendered, richly articulated façade and a vaulted interior. The war memorial “Na stráž” was created in 1922 by Prague sculptor and woodcarver Vojta Sucharda. Figurative ceramic sculpture from Třeština is included in the list of traditional crafts of the Olomoucký kraj region.

The Háj waterworks is an important technical monument and a work of Czech interwar modernism. The Háj Hydroelectric Power Plant was built between 1921 and 1924. The electricity generated at the Háj Hydroelectric Power Plant was also intended to supply the nearby municipality of Třeština.

The legally protected orchid Epipactis albensis has been recorded in a meadow and a riverside stand of trees at a bend in the Morava River near the Třeština weir. Mount Skalka is located in the surroundings of Třeština. The Uhliska hill [Úsov-město] is in the immediate vicinity of Třeština, as is the hill (U Dráhy) [Mohelnice-Libivá].

Mount Cukrová Bouda is located in the wider regional surroundings of Třeština. The ruins of Brníčko Castle are located in the wider surroundings of Třeština. The ruins of Nový Hrad and the chapels Kaple Panny Marie Lurdské and Kaple Panny Marie are also located in the wider regional surroundings.

The 40-kilometre cycling route “Za památkami do Háje a Úsova” passes through Třeština and Háj; it then continues along the river embankment of the Morava. A section of this route forms part of the long-distance Moravská stezka cycle route. The route thus connects named places, a river landscape and a long-distance cycle route in a clearly defined itinerary.
