Hřensko (German: Herrnskretschen) is a small village of approximately 320 inhabitants in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic on the border to Germany. It is situated on the confluence of Kamenice and Labe rivers and was established during 15th century as a trading location.

A large number of shops are operated by salespeople of Vietnamese origin who sell fake goods and many tourists from Germany come to shop and eat cheaply. In addition, the town is a portal to attractions nearby in the České Švýcarsko National Park, including a gorge through which the Kamenice River flows and the Pravčická brána, which was featured in the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
