CAR TRIPS TO THE SURROUNDINGS

JAVORNA/FORMER LIME FAKTORY/KEPLY
A beautiful, leisurely walk with nice views,
se zastavením na staré  vápence kde si můžete dát kafe a jídlo (lépe dopředu telefonicky ověřit). Déku výletu můžete jakkoliv přizpůsobit dle vás. Doporučujeme dojít i na Hořejší Svinnou kde je pěkný výhled. Kratší varianta se dá se jít i s kočárkem.  lenght: 9 km / map        or lenght: 4,5 km / map

ZHURI PLAINS
It's just beautiful and mysterious. The once important Sumava village of Zhuri disappeared during the second World War. Today, the nature reserve is an important peat bog, wetland and nesting ground. The Křemelná brook flows through the quiet Sumava forests. We leave it up to you to wander around this beautiful area. map

BŘEZNÍK / VINTIR'S ROCK / CHALET ROVINA
The combination of a trip and good food. Whether you start or end your trip with a meal at Rovina Restaurant is up to you, you will enjoy it in every way. You can walk to the former Pustina grove and to the Vintir's rock with the chapel of St. Vintir on Breznik (1006 m above sea level). The monk Vintir stayed in the hermitage in the years
1040-1045. The trip can be customized to suit you, but if you want to extend your trip, it is worth going to the Glass Valley.
lenght: 5,5 km / map

CACHROV / NATURE PARK KOCHANOV
A pleasant walk through the Paradise Valley past the former mill, nice views, meadows, forest. The nature park, declared in 1994, covers an area of 81 km² and is situated on the Kochanov plains in the foothills of the Sumava Mountains and includes several watercourses
and floodplain forests with rare plants and animals. Again, you can customize your trip, our route is 12 km long / map

OSTRY MOUNTAIN (1293 m)
If you like hiking, we recommend a trip to the Ostry mountain (Großer Osser). The route starts in Hamry and continues through Statecek. The route is for the fittest - the uphill is 6.6 km long, the whole time there is a climb with an elevation of 663m, the view from the top
but it's worth it. If you feel like it, you can take the way back via Zadni Hamry, which will make the trip a bit longer.  lenght: 14,2 km / map

PODOLÍ / JAVOŘÍ / TRŽEK
It's also very nice in the Podoli area, here's a tip for a shorter trip, which leads through the nice ruins of the 14th century church of St. Bartholomew. You can extend the route through Javori and Trzek, or on the other side in the direction of Hubenov, Besiny.
lenght: 5,2 km /  map

VELHARTICE CASTLE
We should not forget to mention a trip to Velhartice Castle. You can walk around, eat, take a tour of the castle (we recommend booking in advance) and on the way back to the car park you can buy local potatoes in the vending machine, they are usually good! In the summer there is also a funfair. On the way we recommend a visit to the church of St. Mary Magdalene.   map

The surroundings of the Kašperské hory and Rejštejn are beautiful, as well as trips to Lake Laka, Prasil Lake, Black and Devil's Lake. If you want a "small-town experience", we recommend visiting Klatovy or Sušice (you will find fun for children).

SWIMMING

On summer days, there are plenty of swimming opportunities within driving distance of the cottages. Natural swimming pool directly behind the village in Dešenice (there is also a new playground). In the nearby Nýrsko newly renovated outdoor saltwater pool, another outdoor pool is in Janovice nad Úhlavou. If you feel like going to Germany, we recommend the water park about 25 minutes away Osserbad Lamduring the week and in the winter months it is quieter and you can also access the sauna and in the summer there is also outdoor swimming. There is also a pleasant summer swimming pool in Klatovy (next to it you will find an indoor water park with a whirlpool
and sauna), we also recommend the natural swimming pool Pískovna Beňovy just outside of Klatovy.

TRIPS TO GERMANY

The Bavarian Forest also offers a large number of excursions and hiking trails.
With children we recommend going to Bayerwald Tierpark (open all year round, 40 min by car) and to the pleasant Aquapark with sauna
and steam in Lamu (Orsserbad Lam). Other tips in this area are the viewpoint Hindenburgkanzelwhich is just off the road, Malé Javorské jezero (Kleiner Arbersee, car park in Mooshütte), it is also worth visiting Velký Javor (Großer Arber) - a ski resort that you can also visit during the summer.  map

Another destination you can visit with children (even on a bike) is a trip around the lake Drachensee at Furt im Wald (get an ice cream on the square there), go to the Wildgarten, it is also worth mentioning Hohenbogen where you can take a cable car up to enjoy the spectacular views. map
