All about and round the LAKE

The apartments are located just a minute's walk from the dam, beach and promenade.

The ship will take you across the lake and offer a different view at the surroundings.

Staré Splavy at the palm of your hand. See yourself on the pier or on the promenade?  

The main sandy beach can be reached by a forest path along the lake or on street by the famous villas. In addition to refreshments, it offers various attractions. Be aware of a charge for admission in summer months.

The famous Bezděz Castle. Its iconic outline on the hill above the lake underlines the local romanticism. A favourite place of the emperor and King Charles IV, who founded the lake (called Big pond at the time).

The Lake in fact is really a pond. It appears under the name of Blaťák in the famous Czech cartoon of Čtyřlístek ("Four Leaf Clover"). The cartoon characters have their own museum in nearby Doksy town.

Bezděz is not the only castle in the area. There is Houska Castle hiding in the woods that is said to be even older and built over a rock passage leading supposedly to hell...

Former castle ruins dominate the nearby village of Jestřebí. The restaurant here is a great place to eat. We strongly recommend climbing the ruins before your lunch.

A place called Hradčany is not to be found only in Prague. This one is definitely worth a trip, too. Surrounded by forests the top of the cliff displays a beautiful view.

Even a simple walk along the lake will bring you a refreshing experience.

The lake is different every day . Be sure you will come across at least one species of waterfowl during your strolls.

Besides ducks and swans, the Egyptian geese are already at home here. And their recommendation? Holiday at this lake instead of Egypt resorts!

The tour around the lake might sound a challenge but anyone can do it, by bike as well as on foot!

You may board a ship on your lake tour or add a short train ride from Doksy to Staré Splavy.

.Last but not least: your kids will always have enough power to play in the park a few steps from the apartment building.
