Come celebrate Aš’s 150-year town anniversary with us

Discover this hidden pearl, tucked away in the westernmost corner of our nation. Aš (or, to use the German spelling by which it was known for ages, Asch) is where Czech and German culture have always been interacting. Aš was frequently visited by German poet and polymath Johann Wolfgang von Goethe; Aš looks back on a rich tradition of textile manufacturing. Aš is full of unique quirks and landmarks, be it a huge glove collection or the only Martin Luther statue in all of Bohemia.

Scale the charming stone viewing tower on the Háj, a hill in the vicinity, and allow yourself to be enchanted by the grand views of open sky and wide expanses of land. Go on an excursion on the trail of abandoned hamlets in the border area, maybe all the way to the westernmost point of this country, or the point where three territories meet: those of Czechia, Bavaria, and Saxony.

Get to know the past and the present of Aš and its surroundings. Learn where Czechia begins.


We are celebrating the 150-year anniversary of the town establishment with a garland of events that offer something for everyone
