Tips from the Community
This house of God located here is not – as is usually the case – dedicated to one of the many people we venerate as saints, or to the Mother of God Mary or her Son. Instead, it bears an event as its patronage title, namely the TRANSFIGURATION (called "Verklärung Christi" or "Verklärung des Herrn" in German-speaking areas). The three synoptic Gospels, i.e. all evangelists except John, report on this in the Bible: Mark (Chapter 9), Luke (Chapter 9), Matthew (Chapter 17). In a work aid from the Bible Society, the event of the Transfiguration / Verklärung is summarized in the following two sentences: => "In the middle of everyday life, three disciples have an Easter experience with Jesus: They see Jesus in mysterious light, and Moses and Elijah talk with him. Thus, the disciples are revealed Jesus' deepest identity as God's 'beloved Son.'" This event, testified three times in the New Testament, is located on Mount Tabor in Israel. A basilica was erected there in commemoration (see https://www.komoot.de/highlight/266239 ), which can thus be considered the original church for the patronage of this house of God here – in the Czech town of Tabor.

The church is open to the public, with a warning to keep quiet. You can climb the church tower, 200 steps, 50 meters high. You will see Žižkovo náměstí, as if in the palm of your hand, the view of the surroundings is wonderful.

The temple built in late Gothic style from the 15th and 16th centuries. The shell of the temple building was completed on the outside by Renaissance gables. The Gothic tower grew with a Renaissance corridor. Architect Josef Mocker tried to restore the medieval form of the temple building by modifying it in the Gothic spirit.

Near the Nechyba game reserve is the Smolín nature reserve, where mouflons and fallow deer are kept. Beautiful place. The animals are quite domesticated. They came closer, probably expecting some treat.

A square with a fountain, a refreshment stand and toilets. There are also several restaurants. The parking lot is charged and mostly occupied. Various events are also held here.

An extensive park with fallow deer that will come to see you curiously. They are usually pretty visible. You can sit on the bench. Do not feed!

It is worth a visit, even if it will be relatively short compared to other places of this type. Children will really enjoy it here, as well as their parents, when they climb the remains of the walls above the precipice..
