Czechoslovak Teambuilding 8th edition

This weekend we welcome you to the region of Teschen Silesia, in the very east of our country. The accommodation is located in the picturesque village of Návsí, close to Jablunkov and at a distance of about 20 km from Český Těšín, one of the most important border crossings to Poland).

You can enjoy the beautiful nature located in the foothills of the Beskydy Mountains. We will also focus on the cultural heritage and history of the area, especially when visiting Český Těšín and Polský Těšín.

This traditional weekend is especially for Czech and Slovak entities, so expect Czech and Slovak to be the main languages. But of course everyone is welcome!

Excursions

First day (Friday)

Traditionally we start the weekend more culturally and historically – with a trip to Český and Polský Těšín. Apart from the town itself, we will also visit the Museum of Těšín or the Piast Tower in Polský Těšín. Those interested can also visit a typical market where you can buy almost everything. During the trip we will learn about the history of the town and about life in the border region.

Second day (Saturday)

On Saturday, we will go hiking together to Kozubová, located at 981 m above sea level, where we will be able to look around from the local lookout tower in case of good weather.

It is possible that the order of excursions will change, due to bad weather, etc.

Travel information

By car it’s easy for you – 4 hours from Prague, 2 hours from Brno and 1,5 hours from Olomouc. If you come from Slovakia – it will take you 2,5 hours from Bratislava. But for the sake of sustainability, we would still recommend taking the train. There are a limited number of parking spaces.

That’s why for this weekend we chose a place located at a railway node. Either choose a train that goes from Prague/Olomouc to Návsí or change once in Ostrava (recommended). If you are coming from Slovakia, you only need to change trains once in Žilina. From the railway station it is then less than 4 km to the accommodation. If you don’t want to walk, you can take bus number 787 from the railway station and get off at Návsí, Jasení, Goryl.

What to bring

• student identity card (ISIC…)
• hiking shoes, waterproof jacket, warm clothes)
• small backpack for trips
• typical regional food and drink for cultural fair
• slippers
• zloty, if you want to buy something in Poland
