If you ever had the first imperial maps of 1764, few points would probably be familiar to you. However, one rare one in the Ústí nad Labem region has been preserved to this day in a minimally altered form. In historical sources it was called Passtreicher's mill and was built on durable stone foundations. The massive building is located in the meander of the Homolský brook and deciduous forests rustle in the wind. Today it bears the simpler name Byňov, but the impressive genius loci has been preserved.
When we bought this place in 2016, it was a ruin destined for demolition. The collapsed roof and the walls overgrown with air raids did not look very promising, but we did not let ourselves be discouraged from the intention. We are gradually reviving parts of the building and the reward is not only the enthusiastic reactions of our guests. We were contacted by the family of the last local miller Karel Hanl. Our efforts to save the mill moved them and they sent us an album of original photos.
The new building is already in full beauty, the garden is just blooming and the revitalization of the older part is still in the process. We made sure that nothing of the original character was lost, but at the same time the interior invited to relax in a modern, elegant style.
Each of the 3 suites has its own charge and we arranged it as for our own family. In the case of living at U mlýnské babičky, we could rather deliver literally. Before the space opened to full operation, our test guest was our mother. Also thanks to its microscope, the interior is tightened to the smallest detail and the kitchen has an arsenal for demanding culinary magic. You will see that in the cozy arms of the rooms as soon as you fold your suitcases at the door, you will already feel settled and relaxed.
3 suites in a modern style stand on the solid stone foundations of the historic mansion. The rugged spaces are decorated with elegant furnishings and garden views. Couples, families and parties of friends will find their dream nest with us.
U MLÝNSKÉ BABIČKY
The dominant features of the interior for up to five members are impressive vaulted ceilings and majestic stone walls. In addition to the bedroom and children's room, a fully equipped kitchen with a fireplace awaits you, which radiates a warm atmosphere with a pleasant sitting area. Up to two guests can sleep comfortably on the sofa bed. The bathroom has a spacious bathtub and after the morning cleansing rituals you can go straight to the terrace. Our first guest was my mother and under her loving microscope we managed to finish the smallest details that make our stay with us unforgettable.
U ČERNÉHO LIŠÁKA
The sunny background attracts just a black and white combination for a couple and enchants with a view of the garden. The living room with kitchenette is heated by a fireplace and is crowned by a tilting balcony on the roof. There is a separate bedroom and bathroom on the side.
The name of this suite was given by a statuette, which we accidentally bought as the first accessory. The game of two contrasts soon began to entertain us so much that we projected it into all corners.
WIND MENTOL
A fresh breath of menthol cuisine gave the tuning of the whole suite for 6 guests. The bedroom with a double bed, the children's room with two beds and the living room with a sofa bed will offer all the comfort even for longer stays.
Each of the apartments has an above-standard equipped separate kitchen, in which you will not miss anything even during a long-term rental. There are also 3 private barbecue or grilling areas in the garden. The places U jezírka, V lůně lesa and Na terase directly invite you to relax and practical facilities create a summer kitchen, where you can prepare everything you need for a barbecue or use an ice maker or a spacious refrigerator.
By arrangement, we will leave a prepared continental breakfast prepared for the whole family or for you and your dear half in the refrigerator. There will also be fresh pastries and you will just put the goodies on the table and start your morning feast at a time convenient for you.
Picnic lovers will fill their basket here in a moment, the contents of which will taste great on a trip and by a garden pond on a blanket. If, like us, you support farm food, we will be happy to arrange the delivery of fresh products from the area. We ourselves belong to loyal customers, so we know that we can rely on quality.
On sunny days you can enjoy the blooming corners of our garden and the harmonious surface of the natural pond. You will meet kingfishers and dragonflies, which thrive in this habitat. The water comes from a nearby spring, and although it is not as clear as that in chlorinated pools, it is clean and drinkable. That's why you don't have to worry if you bend a little while swimming in a 170 cm deep lake.
Sensitive individuals in our country tend to have colorful and adventurous dreams. Probably because history has left so many traces around that it could be read as in a chronicle. Just run to the nearest hill Panna to see the remains of the castle from the Hussite period. The reward for this small expedition will be a picturesque view of the whole region.
History buffs won't know where to jump first. There are many popular castles nearby, such as: Velké Březno, Ploskovice, Větruše or Děčín. We also recommend a visit to the Zubrnice open-air museum, and if you have not been to Terezín before, this place is also of fundamental cultural awareness.
Athletes will definitely not be bored here either. Less than half an hour from us, the Wake Fun water sports center will test your skills and courage. You can look forward to water skiing, wakeboarding, wakesurfing or jet skiing. In the winter months, skiers and snowboarders will find activities in the center of Telnice. Cross-country skiers can cross the routes of Bohemian Switzerland. They lead through the romantic environment of local nature on the sandstone board of the Elbe sandstones. They will take us to extensive forests and plateaus, as well as to places with views of sandstone rocks.
Kilometers of trails await cyclists. For example, Labská, which stretches from the very source of the Elbe deep in the Giant Mountains through Mělník, Litoměřice to Ústí nad Labem. Routes around the Tisza will reward you with the most picturesque panoramas. Admire the sandstone massifs and rock towns while puffing. You can choose between more demanding variants for mountain bikes and skilled athletes, but also those that even beginners can handle.
What’s there for children?
Even the wildest flower can be found in the garden. A trampoline with a diameter of 5 m, a sandpit with a large selection of toys and finally a lake await them. It will require your close supervision, but you can rent an inflatable ball and accessories or a boat to diversify you.
Electric ATVs are available for children from 3 to 6 years old, who usually reap great enthusiasm. A treetop house for small and large adventures is also under construction.
But interesting experiences await behind our fence. For example, go to the Zoo, the Ústí nad Labem region is only 20 minutes away and you will reach the Děčín in 25 minutes. On hot days, you can also cool off and have fun with your children at the swimming pool of Lake Milada or Lake Žernosecky.
