Since our family loves hunting down the best <strong>day trips around P\u00edsek<\/strong>, I have to say honestly that as a base for exploring South Bohemia this town is absolutely ideal \u2014 and I won&#8217;t hear a bad word said about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to its great location and connection to the D4 motorway, you can <strong>reach most South Bohemian landmarks by car within an hour<\/strong>, whether you&#8217;re drawn to deep history, sprawling fishponds or the dense forests of \u0160umava. P\u00edsek simply sits right in the middle of the best of it all, and you always have dozens of options to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Come and drive the P\u00edsek region with me \u2014 here are 30 places we love, ordered from those just around the corner to full-day adventures. Let&#8217;s take a look at where to go to see animals, castles, water and gorgeous views over the countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9527fc2c879&quot;}\"

P\u00edsek<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">P\u00edsek has an exceptionally strategic location near the D4 motorway, which in practice means that <strong>getting toward Prague or deeper south is very quick and comfortable<\/strong>. To keep things organised, I split the trips into shorter half-day ones, roughly within thirty kilometres of town, and longer full-day ones over forty kilometres away, for which we prefer to set aside a whole free day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When planning any tour of castles and chateaux run by the National Heritage Institute, <strong>bear in mind that they&#8217;re generally closed on Mondays<\/strong>. This quiet heritage-sector convention applies even to the biggest draws in the area, so save the start of the week for nature, lookout towers or zoos, which tend to have far more flexible opening hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Bohemia is also hugely popular with cyclists, and <strong>a dense network of bike trails will safely take you to many destinations along the Otava River<\/strong>. If you rely on public transport, the train gets you nicely to the surrounding towns, but for some more isolated landmarks it&#8217;s often better and faster to use the regional bus lines instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9527fc2d7d1&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a9527fc2d7d1\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2528\" height=\"1696\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-03.jpg\" alt=\"View over the landscape from the P\u00edsek Hills\" class=\"wp-image-403972\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-03.jpg 2528w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-03-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-03-700x470.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-03-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-03-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-03-2048x1374.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-03-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-03-1392x934.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-03-1920x1288.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2528px) 100vw, 2528px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Based on a photo by: Chmee2 \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0 \u00b7 colour edited<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_if_you_want_to_explore_the_area\"><\/span>Where to stay if you want to explore the area<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re coming to the P\u00edsek region for a weekend or a week, <strong>it&#8217;s worth staying right in P\u00edsek<\/strong> and heading out from there.

It sits right in the P\u00edsek Hills above town, and from the free U Vod\u00e1ka car park it&#8217;s another 1.7 kilometres on foot to the tower itself through lovely woodland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The climb is free and open around the clock. Nearly a thousand people rate it an average of four and a half stars, and although it&#8217;s technically a telecommunications tower, the viewing platform offers a beautiful panoramic view of the town and surroundings \u2014 as long as the haze isn&#8217;t rolling in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trip also <strong>combines perfectly with the nearby U Vod\u00e1ka enclosure<\/strong>, where you can watch fallow deer and mouflon. A short walk from there, by the \u017divec cabin, you&#8217;ll find a popular 3D maze in the treetops, which makes this spot a perfect half-day destination for all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9527fc2e5db&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a9527fc2e5db\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2528\" height=\"1696\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-05.jpg\" alt=\"View of P\u00edsek from the P\u00edsek Hills\" class=\"wp-image-403977\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-05.jpg 2528w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-05-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-05-700x470.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-05-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-05-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-05-2048x1374.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-05-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-05-1392x934.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-05-1920x1288.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2528px) 100vw, 2528px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Based on a photo by: Chmee2 \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0 \u00b7 colour edited<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_Pisek_Hills\"><\/span>2.

Whether you set out on foot from the centre or drive up to the \u017divec cabin, incredible peace always awaits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The paths are surfaced and a pushchair rolls along without any trouble. Even in high season you can easily find a corner where you won&#8217;t meet a soul all day, whether you&#8217;re picking mushrooms, running or just wandering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9527fc2ec38&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a9527fc2ec38\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1467\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/putim-nase-zviratka.jpg\" alt=\"The Our Animals petting zoo in Putim\" class=\"wp-image-404439\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/putim-nase-zviratka.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/putim-nase-zviratka-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/putim-nase-zviratka-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/putim-nase-zviratka-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/putim-nase-zviratka-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/putim-nase-zviratka-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/putim-nase-zviratka-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/putim-nase-zviratka-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/putim-nase-zviratka-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Putim_Our_Animals\"><\/span>3.

The village is known far and wide mainly thanks to the famous novel about the good soldier \u0160vejk, but for local families the big draw is a lovely little zoo called Our Animals (Na\u0161e zv\u00ed\u0159\u00e1tka).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This small site <strong>has completely free entry, and you&#8217;ll see kangaroos and cheeky meerkats<\/strong>.

Here you&#8217;ll find the wonderful Fairytale Forge (Poh\u00e1dkov\u00e1 kov\u00e1rna), one of the very favourite family destinations from across the whole wider area, boasting a rating of 4.7 stars from thousands of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside the historic building, devils, water goblins and adorable fairies await \u2014 mainly for younger children, but honestly, adults are left open-mouthed too. The figures are incredibly detailed, and that slightly mysterious atmosphere of old Czech legends fits the place perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The site also includes <strong>a creative workshop for busy hands, and live little donkeys are kept in the yard<\/strong>, which brighten up the visit nicely.

Kest\u0159any is a big name among history lovers, because it&#8217;s home to a truly unique pair of medieval forts standing right next to each other \u2014 something you&#8217;ll hardly see anywhere else in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The grounds of the Upper Fort are usually <strong>open in summer from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and feel like a genuine romantic ruin<\/strong>. Both forts have kept their raw medieval character without needless modern interventions, so you feel as if you&#8217;d wandered straight out of some heroic novel and forgotten the way back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A big advantage of this place is that <strong>the crowds don&#8217;t pour in and there&#8217;s wonderful peace here<\/strong>, so you can fully enjoy photographing and exploring the walls.

Everything is designed so parents can enjoy a coffee in peace while the little ones stay in sight and have fun on the sprawling play equipment.

The Podol\u00ed Bridge, arching over the Orl\u00edk Reservoir, is an immensely elegant arch structure built between 1938 and 1942, and to this day it&#8217;s a stunning example of the engineering of its era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deck boasts <strong>a main span of 150 metres and offers a breathtaking view straight down onto the water<\/strong> far below. At designated spots you can safely pull over, drink in the view and snap beautiful shots of the valley the bridge so elegantly crosses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s also <strong>often a small refreshment stand open by the bridge where you can grab a coffee<\/strong>, and it all pairs wonderfully with a visit to nearby Zv\u00edkov Castle.

Right here, in the landscape among the ponds, the legendary Battle of Sudom\u011b\u0159 took place in 1420, where Hussite forces led by Jan \u017di\u017eka of Trocnov famously triumphed over the crusaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today a <strong>monumental stone memorial in the shape of a Hussite warrior<\/strong> stands here, freely accessible and, of course, completely free. The place has a strong genius loci, and information boards let you study in detail exactly how the military tactics of the day, using the muddy ponds, actually worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pleasant route runs around the memorial between the bodies of water, <strong>perfect for an afternoon walk<\/strong>, and people rate the place a lovely 4.7 stars.

The park is enormous, full of old oaks and threaded with water channels, so you can easily spend half a day here just wandering.

It&#8217;s a very playful, colourful exhibition that perfectly balances the more solemn atmosphere of the nearby monastery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9527fc335e4&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a9527fc335e4\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2528\" height=\"1696\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-19.jpg\" alt=\"Strakonice Castle above the confluence of the Otava and Voly\u0148ka rivers\" class=\"wp-image-404070\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-19.jpg 2528w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-19-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-19-700x470.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-19-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-19-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-19-2048x1374.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-19-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-19-1392x934.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-19-1920x1288.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2528px) 100vw, 2528px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Based on a photo by: Michielverbeek \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0 \u00b7 colour edited<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Strakonice_Castle\"><\/span>15. Strakonice Castle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strakonice Castle lies <strong>25.6 kilometres away, and you&#8217;ll get there from town in a brisk 24 minutes<\/strong>. This sprawling castle complex rises right above the confluence of the Otava and Voly\u0148ka rivers and has undergone a very extensive and successful renovation in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today its halls <strong>house the fantastic Museum of the Central Otava Region with a huge collection of bagpipes<\/strong>, which perfectly maps the famous local bagpiping tradition, and motoring fans will love the exhibition of \u010cZ motorcycles. You&#8217;ll find visitor details and the event programme at <a href=\"https:\/\/hradstrakonice.cz\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hradstrakonice.cz<\/a>. Strakonice also recently gave the riverside a big makeover, so after touring the castle I recommend just sitting on the bank with a good coffee and soaking up the views of the historic walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you head to Strakonice with kids, <strong>you can also try the nearby Bagr\u00e1rium, aimed at children aged 6 and up<\/strong>, where you get to operate real machines. It&#8217;s a smaller venture with just ten reviews, but for little builders the experience is absolutely unforgettable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9527fc33d2e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a9527fc33d2e\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bechyne-zamek.jpg\" alt=\"Bechyn\u011b Chateau above the valley of the Lu\u017enice River\" class=\"wp-image-403571\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bechyne-zamek.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bechyne-zamek-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bechyne-zamek-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bechyne-zamek-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bechyne-zamek-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bechyne-zamek-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bechyne-zamek-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bechyne-zamek-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Bechyne_Chateau_and_the_Rainbow_Bridge\"><\/span>16. Bechyn\u011b Chateau and the Rainbow Bridge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To the spa town of Bechyn\u011b it&#8217;s <strong>31.9 kilometres, and the drive along the back roads takes about 39 minutes<\/strong>. The local Renaissance chateau, run by <a href=\"https:\/\/panstvi-bechyne.cz\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Panstv\u00ed Bechyn\u011b<\/a>, offers beautiful views into the deep valley of the Lu\u017enice River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The town, though, is famous mainly for the <strong>Bechyn\u011b Rainbow Bridge (Duha) from 1926\u20131928, a technical rarity<\/strong>, since it&#8217;s the only bridge in the country to carry both road and rail in a single arch a full 50 metres above the river. What&#8217;s more, the historic electric railway &#8220;Elinka&#8221; from T\u00e1bor runs right into town \u2014 K\u0159i\u017e\u00edk&#8217;s first work of its kind in the monarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, <strong>this railway has a direct historical link to P\u00edsek&#8217;s K\u0159i\u017e\u00edk power plant<\/strong>, so technical history ties together nicely here. During your visit you can also peek into the International Museum of Ceramics, under the wing of the Ale\u0161 South Bohemian Gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we were in Bechyn\u011b, <strong>what got us most was the view of the chateau from the other side of the valley<\/strong> \u2014 only from there do you appreciate how high above the Lu\u017enice it stands. It&#8217;s worth walking to the bridge and crossing it in full, because the shots from below and above look completely different every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> You can pair Bechyn\u011b with the <strong>water chateau of \u010cerven\u00e1 Lhota<\/strong>, which lies further east (82 kilometres from P\u00edsek, almost an hour and a half). We managed both places in a single day, and the combination makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9527fc3450d&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\"

Kratochv\u00edle Chateau (Netolice)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Renaissance gem is <strong>36.1 kilometres away, a 34-minute drive<\/strong>. Kratochv\u00edle is a gorgeous Italian Renaissance villa surrounded by a flawless moat, built as a summer retreat by the famous Vil\u00e9m of Ro\u017emberk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For 2026 the confirmed entrance fees apply, with <strong>the villa tour costing 220 CZK (about \u20ac9) for adults, 180 CZK (about \u20ac7.50) for seniors and 70 CZK (about \u20ac2.90) for children<\/strong>, while the Grand circuit is 280 CZK (about \u20ac11.50). If you just want a stroll, entry to the geometrically precise chateau garden alone costs 60 CZK (about \u20ac2.50).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The atmosphere here is <strong>incredibly photogenic and the whole place looks like something out of a fairy tale<\/strong>, mainly thanks to the moat that surrounds the villa on all sides.

In Albrechtice nad Vltavou you&#8217;ll find the Church of St Peter and Paul with an adjoining cemetery, ringed by a truly unique wall of painted niche chapels that serve as miniature ossuaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a <strong>very little-known place with a wonderful, quiet atmosphere, freely accessible for free<\/strong>. It only has a few dozen reviews on the maps, but anyone who stumbles upon it leaves thrilled. The paintings in the chapels tell stories and bear moralising inscriptions from the 19th century, making the place a fantastic hidden treasure of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just be very careful <strong>not to confuse this little ossuary with the famous one in Sedlec near Kutn\u00e1 Hora<\/strong>, since search engines often mix them up. The Albrechtice version here is far more intimate, quieter and virtually undiscovered by tourists.

Orl\u00edk is the largest reservoir on the Vltava by volume, and its deeply flooded canyons have a quite unreal atmosphere. The raised water swallowed the valley, and from a boat it looks as if you were sailing somewhere in Scandinavia, not a short drive from P\u00edsek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll find <strong>a huge number of natural beaches, well-equipped campsites and boat rentals<\/strong> here, so you could easily spend an entire summer holiday. In the hot months the water is pleasantly warm, though quality can occasionally worsen during August depending on the specific cove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re after quieter spots, <strong>avoid the biggest campsites and try scouting out the smaller coves<\/strong>, which you can often reach only on foot through the forest. It&#8217;s an ideal destination for anyone who loves paddleboards or wants to rent a small motorboat and explore the cliffs up close. We love coming here for afternoon paddleboarding \u2014 you just need to find a cove without too many boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9527fc36656&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a9527fc36656\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2528\" height=\"1696\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-26.jpg\" alt=\"The bridge at \u010cerven\u00e1 nad Vltavou\" class=\"wp-image-404094\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-26.jpg 2528w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-26-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-26-700x470.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-26-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-26-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-26-2048x1374.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-26-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-26-1392x934.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-26-1920x1288.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2528px) 100vw, 2528px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Based on a photo by: Jan Tichavsk\u00fd \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0 \u00b7 colour edited<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"21_Cervena_nad_Vltavou\"><\/span>21. \u010cerven\u00e1 nad Vltavou<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To this intriguing spot you&#8217;ll drive <strong>18.8 kilometres and arrive in 22 minutes<\/strong>. \u010cerven\u00e1 nad Vltavou is a historically very significant point, because it&#8217;s exactly here that the Vltava enters its deep canyon, and an impressive former railway bridge arches high above the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The place <strong>served for years as an important ferry crossing and to this day has a &#8220;tramping&#8221; atmosphere<\/strong>, kept alive by cabin settlements on both banks.

Hlubok\u00e1 is an absolute phenomenon \u2014 with more than 28,000 reviews it&#8217;s by far the most visited destination in the wider area, and its Tudor Gothic style draws tourists like a magnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The confirmed 2026 entrance fee <strong>for the basic State Rooms circuit is 300 CZK (about \u20ac12.30) for adults<\/strong>, seniors and youth pay 240 CZK (about \u20ac9.80) and children 90 CZK (about \u20ac3.70). The chateau also offers other routes, such as the private apartments for 220 CZK (about \u20ac9), the lookout tower for 180 CZK (about \u20ac7.50), or even a special winter route that runs outside the main season too.

Hola\u0161ovice is rightly inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, and its huge rectangular village green, lined with fairytale-decorated farmsteads, is among the most beautiful sights in our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>architecture of the South Bohemian Folk Baroque here is preserved in utterly unique completeness<\/strong>, and it&#8217;s no dead open-air museum but a normally living village. You can wander freely, admire the stucco on the gables and soak up the incredibly peaceful atmosphere of times gone by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During your visit, <strong>I recommend stopping at the local caf\u00e9 or walking to the nearby Hola\u0161ovice Stonehenge<\/strong>, a modern megalithic structure on the hill behind the village. Entry to the village is, of course, free \u2014 it&#8217;s a public space open to all considerate visitors. You&#8217;ll find information about the village and its events at <a href=\"https:\/\/holasovice.eu\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">holasovice.eu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we strolled the green, what we enjoyed most was <strong>comparing the gables of the individual farmsteads<\/strong> \u2014 each has a different combination of arches, volutes and painted details, even though at first glance the whole green looks uniform. Count on an hour or two, so you don&#8217;t have to rush it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9527fc38d8f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a9527fc38d8f\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2528\" height=\"1696\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-32.jpg\" alt=\"P\u0159emysl Otakar II Square in \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice\" class=\"wp-image-404113\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-32.jpg 2528w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-32-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-32-700x470.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-32-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-32-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-32-2048x1374.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-32-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-32-1392x934.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lk-32-1920x1288.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2528px) 100vw, 2528px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Based on a photo by: Jakub Ha\u0142un \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 4.0 \u00b7 colour edited<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"26_Ceske_Budejovice\"><\/span>26. \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To the South Bohemian capital it&#8217;s <strong>51.1 kilometres, and you&#8217;ll be there by car in 49 minutes<\/strong>.

The local station has been renovated and connections link up fairly reliably, so a full day of city sightseeing by rail makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For cycling lovers <strong>there&#8217;s a lovely, easy bike trail running straight out of town along the Otava River<\/strong>, along which you can reach many interesting destinations entirely without a motor.

Another great choice is Krokod\u00fdl\u00ed ZOO (Crocodile Zoo) in Protiv\u00edn, which is open year-round and children are usually absolutely thrilled by it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787814183003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_far_is_Zvikov_from_Pisek\"><\/span>How far is Zv\u00edkov from P\u00edsek?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The majestic Zv\u00edkov Castle lies approximately 26 kilometers from P\u00edsek and the drive takes about 32 minutes of relaxed driving. The castle towers on a rocky promontory above the confluence of the Vltava and Otava rivers and represents one of the most popular and beautiful tourist destinations in all of southern Bohemia.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787814183004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_there_a_boat_service_from_Zvikov_to_Orlik\"><\/span>Is there a boat service from Zv\u00edkov to Orl\u00edk?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, regular boat service between Zv\u00edkov Castle and Orl\u00edk Chateau operates, with boats running in both directions from Tuesday to Sunday. Be aware, however, that boats usually have Mondays off, and I recommend checking the exact schedule and current prices in advance on the carrier&#8217;s official website.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787814183005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_best_trip_within_15_minutes_from_town\"><\/span>What&#8217;s the best trip within 15 minutes from town?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>In just fifteen minutes you can reach the beautiful village of Putim with its popular petting zoo, or Kest\u0159any, where you&#8217;ll find an absolute gem in the form of two preserved medieval fortresses standing right next to each other. Another quick option is Protiv\u00edn with its clock museum and renowned zoo.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787814183006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_go_for_free_around_Pisek\"><\/span>Where to go for free around P\u00edsek?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>You can visit the Jarn\u00edk lookout tower in the P\u00edseck\u00e9 hory (P\u00edsek Hills) completely free of charge, the freely accessible Na\u0161e zv\u00ed\u0159\u00e1tka petting zoo in Putim, or the Hussite battle memorial by the ponds in Sudom\u011b\u0159.
