In the pension, there are nine rooms and apartments, and you can choose to include only breakfast half-board. Here, you can eat delicious traditional Czech meals prepared from high-quality, local products. The pension has a big garden that invites both adults looking for relaxation but also children seeking action – it includes a sandpit and swings. There’s plenty more to do farther afield too: the Kokořínsko region is known for its beautiful footpaths and high-quality cycle paths. One of the most famous cycle paths, leading through the mine in the town of Kokořín, starts near the pension!
