Nature & Trips
Czechs are an outgoing nation. We love walking on perfectly marked trails, biking, kayaking, or even the traditional Czech "sport" of mushrooming. Nature is where we go to relax and disconnect.
♻️ Sustainability & Waste Sorting
To preserve our nature, we take recycling seriously. You will find sorting bins within 50m of almost every household.

🏡 The Cottage Phenomenon
Many families own a cottage (chata or chalupa) where they escape every weekend. This culture peaked in the 1960s as a way to find privacy. If you are invited, don't turn it down! It’s a unique trip back in history and a perfect way to explore unknown parts of the country.
