Libuše's valley, street in Třebíč
Libuše's valley is a long, narrow valley in Třebíč stretching between the districts of Boranova and Horka Domky, marked by gentle slopes and many trees lining the paths. The valley is crossed by several walking routes where benches and small playgrounds can be found, with an old railway viaduct being a defining feature.
The valley developed from open fields starting in the 19th century when people planted pine forests on the hillsides around 1835 and built the first walking paths. In the 20th century, a viewing platform above the old mill area was created along with an artificial pond, while the community gradually expanded the grounds for recreation and leisure.
The valley is named after Libuše, a legendary figure from early Czech stories whose name connects the place to local tradition and identity. It serves as an everyday outdoor space where families come to walk and spend time together in the quiet surroundings.
The valley is easy to reach from central Třebíč and can be included in short trips during a city visit. There are several well-marked walking routes with varying levels of difficulty, some steep and winding, as well as steps and bridges that help visitors move about safely.
The site has a tiny dog cemetery called Psí hřbitov perched on a hilltop where residents once buried their pets. This hidden detail tells a story about how locals have cared for bonds with their animals over many decades.
