About Boleslav Tecla Observatory
The observatory is run by the local DDM, the town's centre for children and youth activities, which uses the site for astronomy education and public outreach in the region. Details of exactly when it was founded aren't publicly documented, so we won't guess at a date here.
Location & getting there
Moravská Třebová sits in the Europe region of the Czech Republic, at 412 metres above sea level, which lifts the site a little above the surrounding lowlands. Use the map and directions button on this page for an up-to-date route.
Visiting Boleslav Tecla Observatory
Because it's run as part of a youth centre's programme rather than a full-time visitor attraction, opening times can vary with the school calendar and season. The observatory's own website is the most reliable place to check current hours before you travel.
