In Bohemian Switzerland you will not find the best chocolate and a precise watch, but you will discover forests with a big "L". The Bohemian Switzerland National Park is 95% made up of coniferous and deciduous forests, lined with fine moss. Such a soft carpet directly calls for a barefoot walk. Soak up the fragrant air and look around. Watch one of the 1000 species of butterflies flying through the local forests. Soak your feet in a clear river, but be careful - this is one of the last places in the Czech Republic where crayfish are still swarming.

The center of Bohemian Switzerland is Krásná Lípa . The Křinice river flows through the picturesque square, lined with decorative burgher houses . The stone trough is decorated with sandstone statues, depicting 4 elements. And just 2 kilometers away is the Bohemian Cottage . A house in which all the elements are in balance. A house where you can meditate, practice yoga, relax in the hot tub , or just be there. A house where you can enjoy both privacy and the company of others. A house where you will wake up in the morning to fragrant coffee and freshly baked buns from grandmother Irenka .

Bohemian Cottage is a newly renovated building from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. When furnishing, we paid attention to simplicity and naturalness , which would reflect our Czech heritage. The apartments are equipped with furniture from Czech carpenters and also glass, porcelain, towels, and even bed linen are of purely Czech origin.

GROUND FLOOR

On the ground floor you will find a cloakroom, a hall with a fireplace and a reception , where someone is always available to answer all your questions and help you plan trips around the area. Here you will find a shared kitchen and dining room , ideal for meeting friends. On the contrary, you can hide from them in the relaxation section . There is also an exercise room.

Yoga HALL "MEDITATION LIPPER"

In the spacious, soothing yoga room, regular lessons are held under the guidance of my dear wife Irena. If you are interested in exercise, write to us. You can also rent the hall for your own use. It can comfortably accommodate up to 15 people and is fully equipped. You will find yoga mats, bolsters, notebooks, tapes, overballs, massage balls, blankets and pillows.

For exercise, you can also use the outdoor terrace of 42 m2.

There are 4 apartments on the first floor . All have a equipped kitchenette , a dining table and a private bathroom with a shower and a toilet.

LARGE APARTMENT (2-6 people)

Two bedrooms (each with a double bed + single bed) with a sloping ceiling and a skylight allow you to fall asleep directly under the stars. Wake up to a shared living room with dining table, kitchenette and armchairs.

2 MAISONETTE APARTMENTS (2-4 people)

From the living room with kitchenette and dining table, stairs lead to the attic bedroom . It is equipped with a double bed and 2 single beds. We have the so-called mill stairs , which can confuse small children a little, so please consider choosing an apartment. The stairs are secured with gates for all cases.

APARTMENT WITH BALCONY (1-3 people)

The apartment, which is mainly for couples with us, has direct access from the living area to a spacious balcony with table and chairs , where you can have breakfast in private or enjoy the evening with a glass of good wine. . The separate bedroom has a double bed and a single bed. If one of you gets up before, he can sit in a comfortable chair with a book before the others wake up.

Imagine waking up in our comfortable beds with a view of the sky, the countryside or the mountains, with fragrant coffee and a prepared breakfast waiting for you on the table. And not just from anyone, but from our grandmother. You can choose an honest "Village breakfast" in a basket, where you can find fresh pastries, eggs, butter, jam, homemade spread, and grandma will also bake you something sweet. And if you stick to the line, we have a variant for you "Light step" with nuts, seeds, muesli, seasonal fruit and cottage cheese. We can accommodate vegetarian and vegan palates - just saying.

If you come in a group, for example for a yoga weekend, order catering from us for several people. Plated bowls, local foods and fragrant pastries will satisfy you all.

On the ground floor there is a kitchen and a large dining table for everyone, so you can spend all your moments together. But if you want to spend your vacation in a close family circle, every apartment has a well-equipped kitchenette. There are numerous grocery stores nearby, so you don't need to carry war supplies. And if you come with small children, we will lend you a high chair.

You can also have a picnic in our garden if you like to share your food with curious ants. And if you're with friends, our grill and outdoor seating is at your disposal. So that you don't go too wild in our garden at the expense of the other guests, we declare a quiet night after 10 p.m.

There are several great restaurants within walking distance in Krásná Lípa, so you can enjoy a pleasant dinner without having to work.

The Bohemian Switzerland National Park is really worth exploring. Everyone knows the Pravčice Gate, but I, Aleš, your host and tourist guide in one person , have every blade of grass, a gorge, a rock tower and a maze mapped here. I will be happy to go on a trip with you or advise you on where to find treasures that remain hidden from the untrained tourist eye.

After a demanding trip, our natural wellness zone will come in handy. A Finnish sauna for 6 people will warm up your stiff muscles. In winter, you can cool off by jumping into our natural pond in the garden . Of course you can in summer too, but in winter it has bigger grades! At the lake there is a great bathing barrel with a hot bath (so-called hottube) . There will also fit 6 of you and in winter it is the best relaxation with a view of the beautiful nature. And if you're in the mood for a proper massage , we can arrange that too.

If you want to practice , we will let you know what lessons will take place in our yoga room during your stay. Alternatively, you can rent it for yourself and organize your own exercise or dance course.

In summer we can lend you beach chairs and umbrellas and you can spend a beautiful afternoon by the water. Sit down with a coffee on a garden bench or stretch out with a book on one of our hammocks . And when you're really lazy and recharging, rent a bike or e-bike and go out into nature.

We don't have a TV and we don't have WI-FI . And we don't have them on purpose so that adults and children can truly detach themselves from everyday worries. There are games, toys and children's books available for us, but since there is still something to do outside, they usually only happen when it rains.

Children rediscover the joy of nature, running through the garden and walking in the woods . In summer, they shorten their day in the pond and playing on the grassy beach by the water. In winter, we can lend you all skis, cross-country skis or snowshoes .

The little ones play on the sandpit in the shade of trees during the day, and thanks to the fact that we will lend you a comfortable carrier on your back, they can also take part in all trips. Of course, there is children's equipment, a chair, cot and barriers for the stairs so that parents can enjoy a good break.

If you don't need Wi-Fi for work, you'll get more than enough done here. The ability to get into a state of deep concentration is most suited to strategists and creative minds. Even artists may catch up with the muse that has been hiding from them for so long. Work in the privacy of your apartment, in the company of others at the long dining table, on the terrace or on the grass in the garden, surrounded by the buzz of nature.
