I arrived in Pruhonice quite early and after leaving my baggage at the hotel wanted to spend a few hours walking and the park seemed ideal. I’m glad I did, not much else in the center of town aside from restaurants and a spa. I could have spent many more hours walking the paths and just relaxing after a long flight. I recommend the exhibitions in the castle where you can look quickly or dive in deep. I learned about various trees, food crops, gardens, and a variety of vegetation. Much is in Czech, German, and English. The yellow trail is fastest and the easiest, red and blue are longer and have more hills. I did a combination and it’s easy to shorten any of the walks if pressed for time. All the photos I’ve posted are from along the yellow path or courtyard. I may return tomorrow as it was just a great way to unwind and relax.

5. Lobec Craft Brewery
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 75 reviews
A technical historical monument, the steam-powered Brewery of Lobec near Mseno is a witness of the five-hundred-years old tradition of beer brewing in the Kokorin region. The first written reference to the brewery dates back to 1586, while the Renaissance core of the existing structure was built around 1600. Between 1894 and1897, Rudolf Cicvarek, a lawyer and owner of the estate, had the original modest artisanal manufactory - once possession of the local gentry of Veznik - rebuilt to become a steam-powered production unit. The project was authored by a renowned engineer, Johan Rosenberg. Since 2007, the premises are possessed by RIOFRIO architectural platform and the exemplary redevelopment and revival of the brewery as a tourist attraction of the Kokorinsko protected landscape area is in progress. The brewery was declared a cultural monument by the Ministry of Culture in 2009...
