Fryšava pod Žákovou horou, where our cottage is located, was famous for its glassmaking tradition and mining. But glassmaking is a little more poetic, isn't it? Since the middle of the 17th century, so-called Venetian or Murano glass has been produced here. This had the advantage that it remained malleable for longer, and therefore it was made into complex and richly shaped objects. Containers of fantastic shapes, breathtaking jewelry and other ornaments were created. You can still see examples in the Horácký Museum in Nové Město na Moravě. CULTURE, HISTORY AND REST 12 kilometers from us lies Ždár nad Sázavou. In the 18th century, the city was ruled by the architect Santini , who became famous for his unique style called Baroque Gothic. Nearby is his masterpiece, the Church of St. John of Nepomuk on Green Mountain , which has been on the UNESCO list since 1994. Part of the Žďár chateau is the Museum of the New Generation , which was voted the most creative museum in Central Europe. At the reception you will receive headphones with an audio guide (in 5 languages) and the pleasant voices of a Cistercian monk will accompany you throughout the exhibition. Unique multimedia elements will draw you into the action. The ground floor of the exhibition is dedicated to the Cistercian order and the Dark Ages, the first floor will give you an insight into the beautiful and colorful world of the Baroque. If you prefer nature rather than history, take a walk around our ponds . You can choose from Medlovský rybník, Sykovec and Velké Dářko, the largest pond in the Vysočina region with an interesting nature trail. When it's warm, definitely take a bath. If all you need is complete relaxation and rest, head to the Japanese Garden . Pavel Šimon has been building it himself since 1996 in the spirit of Buddhist and Shinto traditions . Stone sculptures imitate the Japanese and Czech landscape. You can relax with the roaring streams or look at the cute bonsai, the so-called jamadori. You can also buy them there so that peace accompanies you at home or in the office after returning from vacation. And if Japanese zen didn't show up, try Czech. In the pub near Janečky in Kadov, the herbal liqueur Kadovánek is produced, which "enters the head, pro thinks, blows away worries, cleans the capsule". So that's it.
