(, ) is a municipality and village in Frýdek-Místek District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 3,800 inhabitants. Polish minority makes up 17.4% of the population. Etymology The name is derived from náves or nawsie, which denotes an empty part of a village customarily used as a common pasture. It served as a common of neighbouring Jablunkov. Geography Návsí lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia, small part of the municipality borders Poland. It lies on the both banks of the Olza River.
