The multi-genre “Living Street Festival” taking place between June 23 and September 9 will bring sixteen days of great entertainment to the West Bohemian city.

Often dubbed the Athens of the Hana Region, Kromeriz lies on the Morava River close to the town of Zlin and has approximately 30,000 inhabitants. In 1997 Kromeriz was voted the most beautiful historic town in the Czech Republic and a year later its Archiepiscopal Chateau with the Flower Garden and Castle Garden was added to the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage list. The town regularly hosts music festivals, exhibitions, congresses and conferences.

Despite the fact that there are 15 zoological gardens in the Czech Republic, Ohrada Zoo in Hluboká nad Vltavou does have one thing that sets it apart from the rest. This is to say that it specialises in rearing of small and medium-sized species of animals that live predominantly in our country. You will find here those species which they do not rear in other zoological gardens, be this for their commonness, such as the squirrel, jay or hare, or due to their rarity – for example the European otter.

This poetic name was given to railway line 210 in the direction Prague-Vršovice/Vrané nad Vltavou/Čerčany by ramblers as far back as the first half of the last century. And it well deserves the name. The train travels through the Sázava Canyon, where beautiful and wild countryside awaits you. You will glimpse the gurgling cascades of the Sázava and ramblers’ cabins nestled on the slopes of the valley along with little wooden cottages dotted around the romantic countryside. Anybody who enjoys the atmosphere of the Wild West can bring this to mind on this route.

A long history of balneology, 37 spa towns, hundreds of healing springs and numerous locations rich in peloids (mud, clay, peat) – all of this places the Czech Republic among the world´s super powers in this field. It comes as no surprise that the numbers of visitors from abroad to the Czech spa towns is steadily increasing. This year, apart from the traditional healing and relaxation procedures, visitors to the spa towns can also join the celebration of numerous significant anniversaries.

Agrotourism offers the possibility of spending a holiday in typical rural conditions. You can even volunteer to help the running of the farm and thus earn some money towards the stay itself. The aim of this sort of holiday is a return to life in the countryside and getting closer to nature. You will have the opportunity to come into close contact with farm animals and plants.
