The Giant Mountains
on your doorstep.
Calm, space and nature, with plenty to do for those who want to get out. Here you can do everything, or wonderfully nothing.
Into the mountains.
Straight from the door into the Giant Mountains: quiet forest paths, rolling hills and views you will not soon forget. Routes for a short stroll or a whole day.
Waterfalls and quiet spots.
Peaceful places, clear water and forests where you forget the crowds. Exactly what you come here for.
The Les Království dam.
A remarkable, almost fairytale structure close by, with towers and arches. A lovely outing along the way.
Prague, a two-hour drive away.
