~3 kmSedlec-Prčice
The historic seat of the Vítkovci family — Vítek square, the church of St Lawrence and the Vítek z Prčice brewery. The legendary Prague–Prčice hike starts here.
Around & trips
The Czech Meran on your doorstep
The farm sits in the calm landscape of the Czech Meran — a basin among the wooded hills of the Jistebnice Highlands. Fields, ponds, forest paths and plenty of places to explore. And when you just want a walk, step out the gate. And in summer there's great soft-serve ice cream just a short stroll from the farm.
Monínec resort — year-round
About 10 minutes by car. In winter 2 ski slopes with a chairlift, cross-country trails and a modern all-stainless bobsled track (1,300 m, up to 40 km/h) — Snow Factory technology means skiing even above freezing. In summer an activity park: a water mega-slide, a rope park, trampolines, archery, disc golf and e-bike rental. A great trip for families and groups in any season.
Cycling the Czech Meran
The area is laced with cycle routes and safe trails. The backbone is the paved Krčín cycle path from Sedlčany via Sedlec-Prčice up to Monínec — wide, separated from traffic, ideal with kids too. For the fitter there is the marked “Czech Meran Viewpoints” loop (~31 km) or the upland “Little Šumava” (~28 km). And right on Javorová skála by Monínec there is a bike park with lift-served trails — from a kids' line to jumps.
Trip ideas
Swimming, castles and châteaux, lookout towers, an open-air museum and forests for mushrooming — the best of the area for half a day or a full day.
~3 km
~5 kmPilský pond natural swimming
The closest place to swim, and free. Clean spring-fed water, a grassy beach and a sandy bottom for children, just below Monínec.
~12 kmJistebnice Highlands
Scenic ridges, forest paths and cycling routes above the Czech Meran. The finest local walks and bike rides — and in autumn a paradise for mushroom pickers.
~15 kmVrchotovy Janovice château
A romantic moated château of the National Museum with a park that bursts into azaleas and rhododendrons in May. A bell-casting exhibition and a memory of the poet R. M. Rilke.
~20 kmVysoký Chlumec open-air museum
A museum of village buildings of the central Vltava region — log cabins, a mill, a sawmill and a forge in a picturesque valley. A great family trip.
~25 kmDrahoušek lookout tower
A wooden lookout tower above Osečany with a sweeping view of the region. A pleasant goal for a walk or a bike ride.
~26 kmTábor
The Gothic Žižka square, the Hussite Museum and a mysterious medieval underground beneath the town. History, cafés and walks above the Lužnice river.
~40 kmJemniště château
An elegant baroque château still lived in by the Sternberg family — lively tours, a park, a café and animals. A quieter alternative to Konopiště.
~42 kmKonopiště château
The grand residence of Archduke Franz Ferdinand with a game park, a rose garden with peacocks and a bear moat. A lovely half-day stop.
~48 kmČeský Šternberk castle
One of the oldest preserved castles, dramatically set above a bend of the Sázava river. Rich interiors and photogenic views.
~48 kmSázava Monastery
The Benedictine monastery of St Procopius with an unfinished Gothic cathedral and a calm garden by the river. A piece of ancient history by the water.
~50 kmZvíkov Castle & Orlík
The “king of Czech castles” above the confluence of the Vltava and Otava. In season boats sail from here to Orlík château — a castle, a cruise and a swim in one day.
