The picturesque town at the foot of Hřebečský Ridge has been writing its history since the middle of the 13th century. The regular square is still lined with burgher houses with uniquely preserved Gothic and Renaissance rooms.
Not far from the town centre, the Renaissance chateau, which was built by rebuilding the original castle under the Lords of Boskovice, glitters like a precious pearl. In the times of Ladislav Velen of Žerotín, the castle was enlarged by a part decorated with airy arcades. Thanks to the extraordinary development of humanistic education at that time, the town was nicknamed the Moravian Athens. Today the chateau will enchant you with the Treasures of Moravská Třebová exhibition, the mysterious alchemical laboratory or the medieval torture chamber in the cellars.
The mystery will not leave you in the town museum, where you will see various exhibits of the Orient. Among the artefacts from Japan, Tibet, Burma and India, you will be captivated by the local pride - a genuine, three thousand year old mummy of the Egyptian princess Hereret.
The Journey from Renaissance to Baroque will take you through the town in the footsteps of architectural gems. Besides the historical centre and the Renaissance chateau, you will not miss the climb to the nearby Cross Hill. Here you will see the impressive Baroque sculpture of Calvary and enjoy an impressive view.
You can also get a bird's eye view of the town from the nearby Pastýřka lookout tower. In its surroundings, you can take a ride on 13 kilometres of new singletracks. The Knížecí louka recreational complex with an in-line trail, relaxation area or pumptrack invites you to more or less active relaxation.
To see the beauty of the surrounding countryside, head to the Hřebečské Mining Trails, which will introduce you to the mining history of the area and offer a number of interesting views. You can discover technical gems at the Industrial Museum in Mladějov, where you can also take a train ride on the local narrow gauge railway.
