The fascination with the original houses began at Honza in the Philippines. He found himself in a tree-lined restaurant, and his wooden building heart beat. He returned home with a clear plan: to project his memory of the Philippines into the Czech meadows and groves.

His heart was drawn to his native Highlands. And right here, not far from the place where he was born, Honza built his Tiny house Salaš. He designed it himself and set it up with his own hands. This makes our dear host one of those who did not pass the lockdown and threw themselves into building their dreams. And ours, too, without even knowing it. And we thank you very much for that!

TINY HOUSE IN VYSOČINA

Here, the difference between exterior and interior is completely blurred. Friendly wood paneling and a glass wall give you the feeling that you are in nature, even if you are swimming in fragrant bedding.

Although Tiny house Salaš is sparse in terms of space, it is very well equipped. There is everything you need for life and something extra. The comfortable "bedroom" seamlessly connects to the "living kitchen". There is no television. There is no wi-fi. Ideal for intensive couple teambuilding.

ROMANTIC STAY FOR TWO

Tiny house Salaš may seem really tiny on the outside, but inside the space is solved so well that you definitely don't have to worry about feeling cramped. The house also has a terrace with seating and a bathing barrel. And most importantly… endless nature all around!

Nothing will distract you here. You will only be together and with your thoughts. When you run away from everyday (mostly banal) tasks and worries, your mind is free and who knows if a brilliant business plan or novel theme will come to your mind during your stay in the Mountain.

To make you comfortable even in winter, you can set the temperature yourself using an electric heater. The house has a shower. However, to maintain privacy and a romantic mood, we have placed a (dry) toilet outside the Salaš. But of course at a comfortable distance.

TINY HOUSE WITH KITCHEN CORNER

The kitchenette with a minimalist look hides all the equipment you could need to prepare your menu. The stove is two-burner and the refrigerator for two is just right. Tap water is drinkable, so you don't have to carry heavy bottles with you.

I'll call you before you arrive if you don't need to secure anything. I can definitely recommend sausages from Mr. Čáslava. I go to Velké Meziříčí for them. Or do you like a bottle of good wine? We will agree on everything, I will not let you starve or thirst.

The classic Czech restaurants in the surrounding villages will find it undemanding. "For better" but I recommend going to Třebíč or Jihlava.

Batouchovice is an inconspicuous village with 60 inhabitants. The surrounding forests encourage quiet walks. Alternatively, you can get on your saddles and start cruising around on your bikes. But if it's too much for you, explore the triangle of interesting cities in the middle of which we are.

VELKÉ MEZIŘÍČÍ

In the center of the town there is a beautiful castle, which is cared for by the aristocratic Podstatzký-Lichtenstein family. Over the centuries, the Renaissance building (with the remains of the Gothic fortifications) was supplemented by a Baroque wing designed by the architect Jan Blažej Santini and some neo-Gothic elements. The castle houses a museum, where you will find an exhibition of weapons, Baroque furniture, the history of the city, a private scientific collection of the head teacher Rudolf Divíšek or a Cubist interior designed by architect Pavel Janák from 1913.

The Balinské údolí nature trail is also worth mentioning. The route leads between willows, poplars and alders and contains 12 stops. You can reward yourself for the process of self-education in the Jelínkova vila mini-brewery. Beer is prepared here using the traditional handicraft method. You will taste unpasteurized and unfiltered Harrach beer in various variants and treat your body to a lot of vitamin B. It is also possible to book a tour of the brewery with an interesting explanation by an experienced expert.

TŘEBÍČ

Třebíč is a town where you will find elements of the Romanesque style, Gothic and Baroque. For example, the Renaissance Painted House on Charles Square is beautiful. It was built in the 16th century by the Italian merchant Francesco Calligardi for his beloved. Love floats here all the time, especially on the first floor, where there is a beautiful ceremonial hall. The house also houses a fine art gallery and the Kaiserpanorama - an optical instrument that was the forerunner of the cinema.

The castle in Třebíč has been on the UNESCO list of monuments since 2018, as well as the local Jewish quarter, the Jewish cemetery and the Basilica of St. Prokop. The Jewish Museum with interactive elements is located close to the synagogue, in the house of Seligmann Bauer.

JIHLAVA

When you walk through the beautiful historical center from the top in Jihlava, explore it from below. You can walk 25 kilometers in the Jihlava underground if you want to see every corner. The biggest attraction is the mysterious phosphorescent corridor.

In Gustav Mahler's house, you will not only learn about the life of this great composer and celebrated conductor, but you will also explore the exhibition dedicated to the coexistence of Czechs, Jews and Germans in Jihlava.

And when it gets dark, enjoy an evening guided walk in the Jihlava Zoo.

ACCOMMODATION WITH WELLNESS

Anyway, you don't have to see everything. In line with Slow Travel, find time for yourself. And if you walk or run more than is healthy, you can easily relax your tired muscles in our heated bathing barrel.
