Návsí

History

It is possible that the village was already mentioned in a document of Bishop of Wrocław issued on 23 May 1223 for Norbertine Sisters in Rybnik among villages paying them a tithe as Novoza, however without certainty. The first verified written mention of Návsí is from 1435, when Duke Wenceslaus I of Cieszyn gave a privilege to Paweł Sikora to establish a farming community. Návsí was originally called Jablunkov, but after the village was destroyed by a Hungarian raid, a new settlement emerged nearby (today's Jablunkov) and Návsí became known as Old Jablunkov. Návsí was first mentioned under its modern name in 1577 as Nawsy. After World War I, Polish–Czechoslovak War and the division of Cieszyn Silesia in 1920, it became a part of Czechoslovakia. Following the Munich Agreement, in October 1938 together with the Trans-Olza region it was annexed by Poland, administratively adjoined to Cieszyn County of Silesian Voivodeship. Návsí was then annexed by Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II. After the war, it was restored to Czechoslovakia. From 1960 to 1993, Návsí was a municipal part of Jablunkov.

Geography

Návsí is located about southeast of Frýdek-Místek and southeast of Ostrava. It lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia and a small part of the municipality borders Poland. It lies on both banks of the Olza River. The municipality is located mainly in the Jablunkov Furrow lowland, but it also extends to the Silesian Beskids in the east, and to the Moravian-Silesian Beskids and the Beskydy Protected Landscape Area in the west. The highest points are the mountains Velký Stožek at and Krkavice at above sea level, both on the Czech-Polish border. In the northern part of the municipality is situated the mountain meadow of Filipka and the Rohovec forest, both protected as nature monuments.
