Memorial of Three States
Memorial of Three States
This tower-shaped monument marks the historical meeting point of the borders between the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia. Travelers visit the site to see the architectural design, which features three distinct pillars that converge at a single point at the top, symbolizing the intersection of the three nations.
Getting There
The memorial is located on the outskirts of Ostrava. From the city centre, the most efficient way to reach the site is by car or local transport toward the Bohumín district. The journey typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic and the specific mode of transport used.
Visit Duration
Because the attraction is a standalone monument, visitors generally spend between 30 and 60 minutes on-site. This allows enough time to walk around the structure and observe the design from different angles.
When to Visit
The site is outdoors and accessible year-round. Visiting during daylight hours is recommended for visibility of the architecture. It does not typically experience the heavy crowds found in the city centre, making it a quiet location for a brief stop.
