Amenity Tip:
Taste South Bohemian Craft Beer
Visit the brewery in Rožmberk and sample some of its local beers. We recommend trying the local Malino-pivo lager – a refreshing addition to a day spent exploring the Lipno region.
Following the Trail of a Highwayman
The silence of deep forests, granite boulders, ponds scattered across the landscape and an absence of crowds. Czech Canada is the perfect place for slow exploration – on foot, by bike or simply while wandering through nature.
Close By: Grasel Trail
Follow in the footsteps of the legendary highwayman Johann Georg Grasel, who operated in the borderlands of Bohemia, Moravia and Austria in the early 19th century. The educational trail leads through the picturesque landscape of Czech Canada, passing ponds, forests and historical places associated with his story.
The route can be explored on foot or by bike, and information panels along the way reveal interesting details about the history of the region and the man who became known as the feared outlaw of the borderlands.
A Trip Further Afield: Landštejn Castle
One of the most romantic and best-preserved Romanesque castle ruins in Central Europe rises on a hill not far from the Austrian border. Its massive stone towers and walls create an impressive silhouette that evokes the era of medieval border fortresses.
Climb the lookout tower and you will be rewarded with beautiful views across the forested landscape of Czech Canada. The castle also offers historical exhibitions exploring the story of the site and the surrounding region.
Into Nature: Stálkov Rock Town
Near the village of Stálkov lies a lesser-known but all the more enchanting natural corner of Czech Canada. The rock town is made up of unusual granite boulders, narrow passages and rock towers shaped over thousands of years by natural processes.
A short walk among the rocks is ideal for families with children and anyone who wants to leave civilisation behind for a while.
Amenity Tip: Bison Ranch Rožnov
For an unusual experience, head to Bison Ranch Rožnov near Nová Bystřice. A herd of American bison is raised on the extensive surrounding pastures, giving visitors an opportunity to see these impressive animals up close.
The ranch also has a stylish restaurant where you can try specialities made with bison meat, such as a juicy burger or steak.
