15 years ago you wouldn't have found anything in this place. Animal shelter only. But that's when it dawned on our grandfather, Mr. Havlíček. At least that's what he likes to say. Fortunately for us, and we strongly believe you too, his enlightened ideas have begun to translate into tangible 3D reality.
In the beautiful and clean environment of the Krkonoše nature, something exceptional was created. Garden of the Elements. Gradually, a permaculture garden, ingeniously connected ponds, an eco-farm with aquaponics and houses of air, earth, fire and water grew here. So if you know (but even if you don't) what is hidden behind sacred geometry, the golden ratio or the Fibonacci sequence, here you will feel this perfection with every cell of your body. And the important thing: we designed and built everything here using natural processes, natural materials and sustainable principles.
It was no different in the Owl House, where we invite you to relax.
So don't hesitate. Come. Whether you believe in chakras, cosmic forces, or follow the phases of the moon, you are evolving emotionally and spiritually. It doesn't matter whether you like to walk in the mountains, ride a horse, run barefoot in the grass or prefer to relax on the terrace all day. The most important thing you need to pack with us is "only" an open mind and heart.
The space of our Garden of Elements will take care of the rest...
THE OWL HOUSE
The Owl House is not just any small house. It is our unique project. And just as we put our whole hearts into the houses of the elements in the garden, it was no different here. It's all natural because we used hemp concrete in the construction, and we've also hidden the principles of sacred geometry here.
Just its shape from the outside will sufficiently prepare you for the fact that it will not be about the classic four walls inside. It's just different. Come on in, we'll guide you…
Press the handle and enter directly into the ground floor of the house. Down here, we hid a kitchenette with huge windows and a view of the pastures, and on the other side a bathroom with a shower and a toilet.
The centerpiece of the house is a huge log, around which the staircase winds up to the sleeping floor. You will not find traditional beds here in the Owl House. Instead, you'll sleep on special futons made from horsehair and hemp. If you want, just roll up the futons and you'll have a place to sit.
Our owl also has his beak on this floor. This is what we call the large window that opens onto the balcony around the entire house. Come and have a look, the view from there of the mountains, horses and surroundings will be a real experience.
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW OUR HOUSES WORK?
Let's start with the most important commodity in nature - water. We manage rain and waste water. We sort, regenerate and recycle waste water and use rainwater in the garden and in the houses. Our entire garden is connected by an ingenious rainwater storage system in the form of several different tanks.
On a more prosaic note - we have composting toilets with composting facilities.
Heating in the houses is provided by wood stoves.
Wood, hemp concrete, fired and unfired recycled and new bricks, clay plaster and other natural materials were mainly used for the construction of the basic houses.
And you know what? Then let us know how you slept with us. ;)
You cook here yourself. Grab a wooden spoon and let the ideas flow. In the round kitchen of the Owl House, you will hopefully have an easy time with that inspiration.
ECO FARM
Are you missing something? Then know that part of our Garden of Elements is an eco-farm, where you can buy animal and plant products. We grow plants thanks to aquaponics, and African catfish are our great helpers here. You can buy these fish from us. We also grow vegetables and fruits all year round, it all depends on the season. Do not hesitate to ask us what you can buy from us.
HERBS
There is a garden full of herbs around the house, feel free to pick them and use them in your kitchen magic.
WATER FROM OWN SPRING
Did you know that you can also drink healing water from the spring that springs up in our garden?
A plan for days full of well-being could look like this:
- reading books and enjoying a cup of coffee or tea made from herbs from our garden
- lounging on the terrace and enjoying the view of the diverse colors of nature
- watching our horses and other animals in the pastures
- a walk and absorbing energy from our garden
- meditation, yoga practice, contemplation
- enjoy the power of water in the spa, sauna, during massages
- sitting together in the evening by the fire
- horseback riding
Or something completely different that your soul needs :)
GARDEN TOURS
We also organize tours in the Garden of the Elements. For all of you who want to know how to live in harmony with nature and its resources. We will guide you through ours, where we try to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible - through our buildings, aquaponics, farming or overall functioning. If you are interested in looking into the "kitchen" of the garden, learning its secrets, finding out how it works, be sure to arrange a tour with us.
APIHOUSE
Bees are not just honey, pollen or royal jelly. If you would like to feel their healing power on your own skin, you can try apidomek. This small wooden house hides beehives in its walls, but you are completely safe here (no sting :). Inside you will find beds where you can sit or lie down and breathe deeply. The air in the beehives is saturated with various mixtures of substances from pollen, nectar, resins and other substances that are beneficial to human health. And who knows, maybe even the soft monotonous hum will satisfy your scattered thoughts. Curl up in a ball for a while, hide from the world and treat yourself to Mother Nature's medicine.
WELLNESS
We really want you to get the most out of your visit with us. Peace, relaxation, harmony... Just go to the House of Water and relax in the pool, hot tub or sauna. Or do you prefer to toughen up? No problem. Finish everything off with a relaxing massage...
Are you interested? Let us know in advance and we will agree on the most suitable date together.
What’s there for children?
Well, this is really a blast! Sleeping in the Owl House!
It's like being transported to a magical fairy tale with the snap of a finger. Find shelter in a house on a hill with a panoramic view of the surroundings. Explore it from bottom to top and try to count how many owls you can find in and around it. At night, listen closely for mysterious hooting.
Horses will graze around the house, and if you want, ask about our forest nursery. You can spend time with our animals, observe them, but also help us take care of them.
Or do you want to play Indians? Then go explore the Indian village! Try to find feathers and stick them in your hair or try to decipher tracks on the ground.
