Holidays in the countryside

Rural tourism in the Czech Republic is enjoying an unprecedented prosperity and is becoming a popular life trend. Especially people from larger cities with a desire to travel to places where life is less hectic and more natural. Try at least a short vacation as a clear ecological counterpart to your rapid pace of life. During breakfast you can taste delicate and delicious cheeses from a local farmer and for dinner you can grill chunk of fresh beef steak or enjoy roast lamb. Before going to bed you can have a glass of fresh milk and you can just lie down to a deep sleep on the fragrant straw mattress or bundle up in eiderdowns in a cottage and let yourself wake up to a crowing rooster.

Enjoy the holidays like at your grandmother’s, close to farm animals and untouched nature within reach. During trips to the surrounding countryside you can explore the attractions of the region, buy local food at a fair, undergo reconditioning horse riding, swim in the beautifully clean ponds, fish and roast your catch on a spit. Or collect sweet berries and enjoy clean air and absolute silence in the middle of the forest, which inhabitants of cities never stop longing for.

Decide if you prefer to spend your holiday in a region with mountain meadows, picturesque landscapes, great local liquor or a fairytale view of a nearby valley. You are welcome to places where you can experience the attractive story of your own screenplay. It doesn't matter that everyone finds the unmistakable charm of the Czech countryside in their own way.
