Čermná Ve Slezsku: Church, Slate Trail and Nature

Culture

In the central part of Čermná Ve Slezsku stands the late Baroque parish church of St. Margaret. The church was built in 1792 and restored in 1855. In front of the church stands a statue of St. John of Nepomuk, dating from 1853 and protected as a cultural monument.

Trails and Slate History

Another topic is explored along the Břidlicová stezka educational trail. It can be accessed at the Čermná Ve Slezsku railway stop and is suitable for pedestrians and cyclists. Along the route, visitors learn about the history of clay slate mining. The educational trail combines two forms of movement with a clearly defined historical topic. For your personal planning, the route can be given a different emphasis than the religious buildings: When walking or cycling, the form of the route takes centre stage, while the content presented focuses the historical perspective on clay slate mining. A route with an educational theme is contrasted here with an individual monument visit. The choice between the two approaches can be based on the desired activity or on interest in local and mining history.

The educational trail combines access at the railway stop, use on foot or by bicycle, and the history of clay slate mining. The route, means of travel and historical topic together form a distinct way of exploring Čermná Ve Slezsku.

Nature

The Čermná stream rises on the northeastern edge of Čermná Ve Slezsku, near the railway embankment, at an elevation of 520 metres. The Čermná – důl Potlachový site of European importance is a regionally significant wintering area for the barbastelle bat. It was designated at the site of a former slate quarry. The cave at the Čermná – důl Potlachový site is not open to the public; entry is prohibited. Nature-related interests can be divided here into three levels: water, wildlife and geology.

The stream is characterised by its source, the northeastern edge of the village and the stated elevation. The Čermná – důl Potlachový area represents the barbastelle bat and the former slate quarry. The cave remains separated off by the express prohibition on entry.
