Ondrášovo - zbojnické stezky
The famous Silesian bandit Ondráš of Janovice lived in the years 1680-1715. Numerous folk legends that began to emerge after his death in the territory of historical Silesia and Moravia became an inspiration for artists of three nationalities: Czech, Polish and German. The Silesian bandit also inspired artists and musicians.
The Regional Development and Cooperation Council based in Třinec, together with the Cieszyn County, Tomáš Koček and Renata Putzlacher, have created a special educational trail "Ondrášovo - zbojnické stezky". The interesting thing about the trail is that it is not continuously marked with a single connecting line. In the Cěšín Beskydy Mountains on both the Czech and Polish sides, places have been selected that have a certain connection to the bandit Ondráš, and information boards with interesting facts about the bandit have been placed there. In the adjacent cottages, you will definitely find something "typically" Ondráš to eat or drink. Among others, we recommend the specialties of the Grůň Hotel in Mosty u Jablunkova, the Ondráš Hotel in Komorní Lhotka or the real Ondrášová miodula available in many places in the region. So come and see with us and take a trip to the most interesting places that the famous Silesian bandit Ondráš visited before you. Come with us to Skalka, Gírová, Velký Stožek, Godula, Čantoryja or to Poland to Ochodzita, to Skoczów, Cieszyn or Skoczów.
