I have been invited to this castle for a private birthday celebration at night in December 2015. The foggy weather and the dark night made our car trip to the castle quite scary. Inside the castle you feel the mysticism of the place. Supposedly there is a direct gate to hell and the whole exposition is dedicated to the topic of devils, alchemy and Alighieri´s Inferno. The castle is still under reconstruction. It is famous for private parties, weddings etc. The location is a bit remote, but with beautiful nature and surroundings. Good for bike riding.

Krásný Zámecký areál s velkou zámeckou zahradou kde se můžete procházet klidně celý den - každý rok se podaří otevřít nějakou novou místnost nebo expozici.

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...

For beer lovers and history lovers aloke, Lobec is a gem. First established in the 1500s, the brewery (Pivovar) was in continuing production until communism took over Czechoslovakia.
Lobec Pivovar has been undergoing a restoration process and has returned to producing excellent beers in small batches. They have a beer hall and outdoor Seating. A very interesting tour is offered; English translation is available.

The English name of this place is Rock Castle Sloup. It is a huge sandstone rock formation around 60 meters wide, 100 meter long and 35 meter high. In actuality the English name is “kind of” wrong. First, the town Sloup is located in a completely different part of Czech, and the Rock Castle is in town Sloup v Cechach (three words). The second discrepancy is that the Rock Castle was never a castle! “Skalni hrad a pustevna” translates: Rock castle and hermitage”. It was a very old hiding place and religious hermitage. The castle is a romantic phrase describing the shape of the rock formation, rather than its function.
We knew above facts before arrival (thanks to great site: http://hradsloup.cz), but they didn’t change our opinion. We fell in love with the online pictures of Rock Castle Sloup from the first sight. At the ticket counter, we got laminated page with points of interest description, and their numbers corresponded with the metal numbers chiseled into the rock at the actual location. There were many hidden places to be discovered, tons of interesting details, and great view from everywhere. For us it was a great treat! Oh, also, there were no tourist buses ~ a great plus.

It is a nice caste, the guide and the visit just cost us 2 Euro per person. Unfortunately for us, the guide was a Czech lady who did not speak English. We got some translations on paper instead. It is a nice castle and worth a visit. Be aware: The castle is up a hill, so be aware that you have to be good on your feet. Dogs are allowed, WC and a cafe/canteen are situated at the parking lot at the foot of the castle.

Macha Lake is located in beautiful countryside. It adds beauty and named after the famous Czech poet Karel Hynek Macha - author of the song "Maj". I like to see above the water is also a castle Bezděz. This is all the reason in shipping operations.

Příjemný rodinný výlet do nedalekých Doks za krásnými exotickými zvířátky. Zvířata jsou zvyklá na kontakt s lidmi, takže hlazení i krmení je možné ;-) Například velbloud se snažil o pusu :-* a tak jí taky dostal. ;-) Mít možnost pohladit si tygřátko nebo lvíče....zážitek nejen pro děti :-D :-D :-D Můžete si odnést i fotografii se lvíčátkem nebo tygřátkem. Velmi milý a vstřícný personál v celém Zooparku. Rádi zodpoví všechny otázky. Nízké vstupné, možnost parkování přímo v Zooparku. Návštěvu doporučuju. My se určitě pojedeme podívat ještě jednou :-)

Stale se zlepšující nové hřiště, kde nenajdete moc stínu. Hezky poseceno. Hodne vody. Jedinou chybou je velice pomalá obsluha, která se raději baví s hosty na baru. V závěru na pití čekáte vice jsk 20 minut. Zastavka na Drink po 9tce nepřipadá v úvahu. To si vas nikdo nevšimne u stolu, tak musíte pokračovat.
