The very first tips for trips with children will be in the Pardubice Region. Other regions will follow, so everyone from different parts of the Czech Republic will come to their own.
What about the interesting places that you can visit with your children in the Pardubice Region?
Pardubice District
Kunětická hora Castle – playground and animals in the foothills
Kunetice Mountain and its surroundings are a great place to spend a pleasant afternoon or all day. You can go out to the castle with a stroller or reflector. Pod Kuňkou is also a playground, a field with animals, and a gingerbread house, which also serves as a gingerbread museum. In the vicinity of Kunětice Hora there is also the Kunětický expres (a cruise train with a capacity of up to 36 people), which makes about a half-hour circuit between the car park under the castle Kunětická hora, a stop at the well, Restaurant pod Kunětická hora and Perníková chaloupka. You can also reach Kunětická hora by a cycle path – a mostly flat 19 km long route from Pardubice.
There is a paid parking lot below the castle.
Read the article about our excretory on Kunětická hora.
The official website of Kunětice Mountains can be found here.
Zookoutek Vysoké Chvojno
Obora, located in the village of Vysoké Chvojno, where you can see deer, ropes, muflons or taxa. Next to the zoo is the grove "Viselce" and next to it the former hunting lodge of Count Pallavicini. You can reach the zoo corner by following the signs to the pension "Zámeček".

The rope centre is divided into multiple parts. The Lanáček route is suitable for children from 3 years of age (under the supervision of parents and from 2 years of age) and consists of 11 children's obstacles topped by a slide. With larger children (from 10 years old), you can dare to ride rope obstacles located at 9.5 meters above the ground. In the area you will find for children a bouncy castle, climbing wall, bungee trampolines, swings and also refreshments.
You can park 20m from the premises.

Pardubice
In the centre of Pardubice is definitely worth a visit pardubice castle (around it leads a pleasant walk), the castle park Tyršovy sady, which won the title Building of the Year 2017 or Pernštýnské náměstí with the Green Gate. You can also spend a pleasant afternoon on the Elbe boat arnošt, for example, up to Kunětice, you can take the reflector and return along the Elbe along the already mentioned cycle path.
Chrudim District
Exotics at bítovany ranch
In the small village of Bítovany, a short walk from Slatiňany, you will find a small family zoo that specializes in both domestic and exotic animals. There are horses, sheep, llamas, kangaroos, raccoons, cats or lemus and many others. There is also a children's playground and snacks on site.
Admission is 100,-/adults and children from 3 years for 50,-.
Free parking is available next to the property.

Slatiňany – castle, stud farm, cat castle, lookout tower Bára, rope centre
Head to Slatiňany to the castle for a day's (maybe two-day) trip. You can visit there with children both the castle inside and the beautiful surroundings of the castle, which includes a beautiful English park, in which you can see horses from the stud farm, which also belongs to the castle and to which the Slatiňany are also known.
Parking is possible near the castle.
After a tour of the castle and park, I recommend continuing on to the Cat's Playhouse, which is a scale of the castle, where children can enjoy the "conquest" of the castle. The nature trail starts at the southern entrance gate of the castle park. At The Cat's Playhouse you can either turn around and continue back to the car park on the same path, or you can continue on (along the green sign about 500m) to the Monaco restaurant, where you'll love to refresh yourself and the kids can play in the playground for a while.
The trail to the Cat's Playhouse is not quite suitable for strollers, although we also got there with a field stroller :).
The Bára Lookout Tower is a short walk from The Cat's Playhouse, which is less than 1.2 miles away by the blue tourist trail. It is a unique wooden lookout tower, from which in sunny weather there are wonderful extinks and right next to it is a children's rope park for children from 12 years of age. Here, too, there is the possibility of a small snack.
Good food can also be enjoyed in the restaurant "U Zámku"
And who in slatiňany did not queue for the famous ice cream, as if he were not even in Slatiňany. Take the frozen here at the exit from Slatiňany towards Nasavrky on the right.
Grandma's backyard – Licibořice
A nice place for families with children, where you will learn all about the traditional economy. Pets can be not only viewed, but also pets and fed. Children (maybe even adults :)) will learn what cep or solve.
In Grandma's backyard you can also refresh yourself or buy products from sheep's wool, cheeses, children's toys
Opening hours, photos and more can be found here.
Celtic Nature Trail at Nasavrk
The circular trail, on which there are 20 educational boards and which is 9.5 km long, starts from the Celtic Archeopark at Nasavrky Castle and leads through a beautiful landscape – around the waterfall to the village of Hradiště, the Boika lookout tower or to the stone Celtic circle.
The trail is not difficult and if you have a sports stroller you can take it with you.

Trail of a young forester near Trhové Kamenice
The trail, which is located between Trhová Kamenice and Nasavrky, is 400 m long and contains 10 sites. At each post, a specific task is prepared for children – animal rebounds, zignazed, cone throw on the bark beetle and more.
There's also an outdoor gym by the trail – there's a combined assembly, a chain bridge, a handrail, a bar and a round turn.
Because the trail may be harder to find (we wandered, and we're local), I prefer gps here: 49.814946 15.789685
If you don't go for a walk in the woods or mushrooms, this trip will take you about 30 minutes, max an hour.
ViveK Hill
The museum in nature you will find on Merry Hill will definitely enchant you. Small cottages, a total of 30 buildings where you'll find out how they used to be. These exhibitions bear testimony to the life and work of small peasants from the first half of the 19th century. In the mid-20th century, the 19th century was the first of its past Century.
Interesting events are held regularly in the open-air museum, e.g. in the open-air museum. fairs, markets, demonstration of traditional production.
A lot of other information about Merry Hill can be found on the official website.
If there is no event, it is possible to pass the settlement free of charge.
Hlinsko – Bethlehem
Together with Veselý Hill, The Bethlehem of Hlinecký is part of the Vysočina Folk Building Ensemble. The log cabins, which can be found in the centre of Hlinsko itself, are here in the first half of the 18th century. In the 19th century, small town craftsmen were built.
You can not only walk through this hlinecsection part, but you can also look inside with a guide.
In some logs you will find a shop, another information centre, or a restaurant.
I recommend visiting the Mandala café and tasting their delicious cupcakes or the mandala vegetarian eatery, which works over lunch.
There is also a children's playground right by the river.
In winter, the ski slope, part of which runs above the road, will delight the athletes in Hlinsko.
And if you're in Hlinsko for the evening, be sure to visit our pub U All Saints, where you can have a good beer or wine in addition to a delicious and huge pizza 🙂
After Hlinskem towards Krounu/Polička, also visit the Vojtěchovská lookout tower, from which you will have wonderful views of Pardubice, Chrudim, Orlické Hory and Kralický sněžník and sometimes you can see up to the Giant Mountains.
Seč Dam, Oheb Ruins
The Seč Dam attracts swimming in summer, but also a walk, along this dam is beautiful. A beautiful view of this dam is just down the hill, where the ruins of Oheb Castle are also located.
The ruins can be accessed on foot along the green sign (turn-off to the castle) from road No. 343 from Seč around the Seč dam in the direction of Trhová Kamenice.
In the town of Seč itself you will find the Renaissance Church of St. Laurel from 1620 and a Renaissance chateau with a valuable portal, which is also the seat of the municipal office.

Ahoj, jmenuju se Verča a svůj blog Máma na cestách jsem si založila v létě 2017. Píšu sem články se spousty tipy, kam s dětmi vyrazit, itineráře z různých koutů světa (Nový Zéland, Dubaj, Slovinsko, aj), ale taky články o starostech všedních dní na mateřské.
Cestujeme často v rámci house sittingu, díky kterému šetříme na cestách statisíce korun ročně.
Taky většinou cestujeme sami na vlastní pěst, protože nechceme být s dětmi vázaní cestovní kanceláří. Což ale neznamená, že služby cestovní kanceláře někdy nevyužijeme.
Cílem blogu je motivovat všechny rodiče k tomu, aby se ani s dítětem nevzdávali svých přání a šli si za svými sny. Ať už je to cestování, nebo cokoliv jiného.
