TIPS FOR TRIPS
Tips for trips in the surroundings
The nearby surroundings of the guesthouse offer extensive forests for hiking, mushroom picking and berry picking. Nearby it is also possible to fish (permit required).
Cyclists have a wealth of possibilities here, including the cycle path Hradec Králové - Kuks - Dvůr Králové n. L. (part of the European cycle path No. 2 leading from Hamburg to the source of the Elbe).
In summer, you can enjoy natural swimming in Vlčkovice, 2 km away, or a modern swimming pool in Dvůr Králové n. L., and in winter, cross-country skiing and downhill skiing are offered (several ski resorts between 12 and 35 km away - e.g. Zvičina, Janské Lázně, Pec pod Sněžkou).
up to 10 km
Lovers of culture and history will not want to miss a visit to the Baroque jewel -
the Kuks Hospital with Braun's statues of vices and virtues, and the forest Nativity scene.
A pleasant day can also be spent at the
ZOO in
Dvůr Králové nad Labem. There is also a
Mineral Gallery in the town. At
Jaroměř you should not miss a visit to the Theresian
fortress Josefov.

Not far from
Dvůr Králové n. L. there is the fairy-tale
dam Les Království (Forest of the Kingdom), the highest peak of the region
Zvičina or the natural monument
Čertovy hrady (Devil's Castles).
It is not far to
Česká Skalice either, where besides the
Museum of Božena Němcová you can visit
Ratibořice, the setting of her famous novel, or take a trip to the
Rozkoš water reservoir.
It is also worth a visit to
Náchod (castle,
Primátor brewery) with the adjacent Dobrošov hill, where, in addition to the lookout tower with a restaurant, there are several
bunkers (e.g. Dobrošov or Březinka) with the possibility of sightseeing. Those interested in war fortifications can also visit the
Stachelberg artillery fortress near
Trutnov.
The
International Folklore Festival is held every August in nearby
Červený Kostelec. From
Nové Město nad Metují, where you can stop at the chateau, there is a beautiful circuit along the river to the
údolí Pekla (Hell Valley). In

Museum of Alois Jirásek, in
Malé Svatoňovice you can visit the birth house and

Žaltman lookout tower.
In
Hořice there is a sculpture school; in
Miletín those interested can try to make biscuits called
Hořice tubes themselves.

Tourists will surely welcome the reasonable accessibility of the local natural jewels – the Krkonoše Mountains, the Adršpach-Teplice Rocks, the Broumov and Police Walls (Ostaš, Hvězda, Ruprechtický špičák, Kamenná brána) or the table mountains (Bor, Hejšovina, Bludné skály) in the Polish border area.
Třebechovice pod Orebem became famous especially thanks to its carved moving Nativity scene.
Those who are tempted to go a little further afield can visit the pretty spa town of Kudowa-Zdrój or the pilgrimage site of Wambierzyce.
