We know that there are lovers of old times, romance and the countryside among you. And it is you, and of course all those who like to discover the "new" and "unknown", that we invite to our beloved corner of the world. Look for us in the Bobrůvka river valley, at the very end of the road in the village of Habří. It is here that the 800-year-old Svobodný farm No. 1 stands and in it the original outhouse with a classicist shield from 1832.
We took over the whole estate from my mum and started running it in 2021. Would you believe that my family has owned it since the 16th century? That's a big chunk of time, which hides many life stories and interesting history. Here, under a layer of oblivion, dust and earth, we discover traces of the past 800 years. In the course of them, the house went through various transformations. He experienced great landowners who farmed here successfully, with love and dedicated their lives to honest work. But he also experienced bad landlords and was literally devastated under the communist regime. See this rediscovered mosaic of time, the history of the house and the village in our small private museum.
But back to vejmin. With slow steps and efforts, we are trying to get closer to its original form. After cleaning and cleaning, we furnished it with the original restored furniture. The one we found on the farm. Here you will really feel like you have gone back in time. And we are proud of one more thing... You can spend your vacation in our guesthouse and get to know Habří and Vysočina. Not only because in our opinion it is the most beautiful place on earth, but because of this you actually become a part of the amazing Free Estate project.

Our family has owned freehold estate No. 1 in Habř since the middle of the 16th century. After the previous landowners, now it's my turn to live here, work here, and do everything to pass it on to the next generation in an even better condition. My wife and I run a guesthouse and a small private museum here. With the money earned, we are trying to restore our farm, which was seized by the state from the family during the communist period and literally devastated, to its original glory and beauty. My ancestors worked hard here and were good farmers. Even with respect for their honest work, we are repairing the farm today. We try to preserve what is possible, we renovate the original furniture, we have created an exhibition for the found treasures related to history, where the public can learn more about the life of the ancient inhabitants. The wife wrote the book "Where the road ends", which is a recording of the memories of local witnesses. We have created a museum and an inn from a cow shed, renovated a sheepfold and now we have focused on a historic outhouse from 1832. We would like to invite you to it so that you can magically return to the old days and breathe in the genia loci of the free manor that has more than 800 years. We still have a lot of work to do, the ejminek deserves a wooden floor and we plan to return the original oven, where bread will be baked again. By staying with us and supporting us, you become part of this amazing transformation. The beautiful valley of the Bobrůvka river and the surrounding peace and nature will enhance this experience even more. We also offer our guests breakfast or half board made from honest local ingredients.

VEJMINEK AT JULINKA'S
For all lovers of old times, we have lovingly reconstructed a small room in our guesthouse. And we named her after one of the original residents of Svobodný estate No. 1, Julince.
The room is furnished for up to 4 people. There is one double bed and two single beds.
The windows here are not tiny at all. They are more like the frames of rare paintings, where the colored canvas changes according to the seasons. In fact, they share with you a view of the nature of the Highlands to the three cardinal points.
We furnished the cottage itself with period furniture that was given a second chance (like all things here). We restored what needed to be restored and returned something to its ancient charm with just a kind touch.
To make you feel comfortable in our apartment, we have built a separate bathroom with a shower for you one door away.
The entrance to the vejmink is through the guesthouse.

BREAKFAST OR HALF BOARD?
The right basis of the day in the form of breakfast simply has to be. And we have our favorites here. Honest and homemade. For example, in the form of eggs from our hens, spreads or strudels like grandma's. But even such fritters with vanilla cottage cheese, homemade marmalade and blueberries are not to be thrown away. And did we mention that we get our milk from local cows?
When you stay with us, we will be happy to take care of your comfort on vacation and prepare a delicious dinner.
We provide breakfast or half-board after agreement with you, in home conditions.
In addition, there is a pub room (coffee, alcohol, non-alcoholic, grill), but it is not always open. Our self-service bar is still open (alcohol, non-alcoholic, beer, sweets, cheese, ice cream - for a fee).
FISH
When you go on one of the trips to the surroundings, for example towards Pernštejn and Nedvědici, be sure to stop in Ujčov. You can catch or buy trout here and grill it in the evening.

PRIVATE MUSEUM OF THE FREEMAN ESTATE NO. 1
Last year, we made a commitment to gradually return it to its original form with respect for history and ancestors. And we keep our word. We will look forward to you discovering the ancient stories of the farm and the village in our small museum of the Free Farm No. 1. Here you will find the original double-winged door from the vejmink, read something from the diary of Žofia, who once lived here, and see her drawing of a farmhouse from ancient times. Or are you interested in a shard of medieval pottery? We discovered it by chance during the reconstruction of the sheepfold. The experienced eye of archaeologists dates it to the 13th-14th century. century. Can you imagine that our farmhouse could be much older than we ever imagined?
The museum has also become a meeting place for descendants of families from Habří and a place where history comes alive and is recorded for future generations. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we look forward to each day because it is meaningful.
