Winter walks in Aši

Aš and its surroundings offer a number of interesting places to visit even in the winter months. One of them is the Bismarck lookout tower on Háj hill, which provides a panoramic view of the snowy landscape. This 34-meter-high granite tower was built in 1902–1904 and is considered the westernmost lookout tower in the Czech Republic.

Another interesting destination is the ruins of Neuberg Castle in the village of Podhradí. The castle was probably founded at the beginning of the 13th century and a 22-meter-high tower has been preserved here, along with the perimeter walls of the adjacent castle.

For history lovers, the Textile Museum in Aš is an ideal stop, documenting the rich textile tradition of the region. The museum is located in a former chateau on Mikulášský vrch and, in addition to textile exhibits, you will also find a collection of reconciliation crosses and stones from all over the Czech Republic.

While walking through the city, don't forget to visit the Church of St. Nicholas, built in 1867–1871, and the Baroque town hall from 1733, which has undergone several reconstructions and today serves its original purpose.

Walks through the winter landscape of the Aš region will allow you to discover not only historical monuments, but also the peace and beauty of the snowy nature of this unique region.
