Český Těšín, Border municipality in Karviná District, Czech Republic
The town extends along the Olza River at 270 meters elevation, forming the western section of a municipality divided between Czech Republic and Poland.
Following World War I in 1920, the historical town of Teschen split into two separate municipalities, with Český Těšín emerging on the western bank.
The Těšín Theatre presents performances in Czech and Polish languages, reflecting the linguistic diversity of this border region through artistic expression.
Regular train connections link Český Těšín to major cities including Ostrava and Karviná, while international pedestrian bridges facilitate crossings to Poland.
The Neo-Renaissance railway station stands as one of the most architecturally significant transportation buildings in the entire Czech Republic.
