Step inside a place where history blends naturally with modern comfort. Jaškovská krčma is not a museum, but a living space that has been welcoming visitors since as far back as 1268. Our complex, standing securely above the surface of the reservoir, offers much more than just authentic cuisine in historic halls with vaulted ceilings. Here you’ll find spacious viewing terraces right above the water, modern and historic hotel rooms, beachfront apartments for a summer getaway, and romantic nooks
Every day, we write a new chapter in a story that has spanned over 750 years. We appreciate that you are writing it with us.
Trends come and go, but authentic flavour endures. Step inside a place where merchants, travellers and locals have been gathering for centuries. Today, our kitchen carries on this tradition using quality ingredients, tried-and-tested recipes and a respect for Czech, Moravian-Silesian and Polish cuisine. You can enjoy it in the authentic atmosphere of the historic halls or whilst sitting right by the waterside of the Těrlická Dam
Experience the magic of Jaškovská krčma to the full. We offer accommodation for anyone seeking an atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else. You can choose from comfortable hotel rooms or opt for the privacy of Trdlovy apartmány with its own kitchenette. For nature lovers, the separate Tatranec beach cottage is also available during the summer season. Waking up in our historic grounds, where a tradition of hospitality has been written since 1268, is an experience that keeps our guests coming back.
Dear bride and groom-to-be, are you looking for a venue that will lend an unforgettable atmosphere to your ‘I do’? At Jaškovská krčma, we combine historic charm with modern wedding services.

We’ll take care of everything – from delicious cuisine to arranging accommodation for your guests. We’ll create a day for you that will fit into our history just as naturally as the weddings that have been held on our premises for generations.

Be inspired by the richness of our documented past and become part of its living legacy during your visit.
In the 14th century, a band of highwaymen used to gather in these parts, ambushing merchants’ carts on the country lane. The pub and a secret underground passage served as their hideout. One of them is said to have fallen in love with the innkeeper’s daughter and given up a life of crime. And who knows… Perhaps their descendants are serving you beer today??..
Legend has it that the ghost of the ill-fated queen, wife of Wenceslas III, appears in the corridors of the world’s oldest pub every night before a great storm. She comes silently, barefoot, with eternal sorrow in her eyes. She was queen for a mere ten months, and wife to Petr of Rožmberk for less than a year. She died at the age of 27. Beautiful and ill-fated. The old innkeepers said they last saw her in 1847, the night before the great fire.
Somewhere beneath the stone cellars of the pub lies a hidden chest full of amber, which merchants have been talking about since the Middle Ages. No one has found it yet. It is said that whoever finds it must offer the first glass of beer to the Spirit of the Pub.
Where did the village’s name actually come from? There is still debate about this today. Some claim it derives from the little river ‘Cierly’ (Stonávka). Others say it comes from the flax-processing tool ‘cierlice’ (known in Czech as a ‘trdlice’). A third group believes it comes from the stony bed of the stream, where the water ‘cerlila’ – rushing noisily amongst the stones. Which version do you favour? Here at the pub, we reckon they’re all correct!! The water murmured, people processed flax, and Těrlicko lived happily ever after….
Every pub has its own patriots or guardians. We have three: Jaška, Trdla and Mnich. The first keeps an eye on safety, the second on the good atmosphere, and the third reminds us that life isn’t something to be taken for granted. They all also ensure the integrity and quality of the beer in the pub. You won’t find their statues right next to the pub. Every guest can choose their own favourite…
Here’s the thing about beer. In ancient Egypt, it had to be drunk through a straw, as it was a thick liquid, full of sediment. Taverns had already adopted top-fermentation and flavouring with hops, not other herbs. But even in the Middle Ages, it was still a thick, cloudy liquid, full of yeast. It is only today, thanks to bottom fermentation, that we have beer that is crystal-clear and golden with an absolutely white, creamy head. And the fact that it is served on tap in the pub according to today’s standards is thanks to three patriots and a fourth, Tomáš from Prague (as in the case of Mr Dumas the Elder and his Three Musketaires).
