Active holidays for individuals and groups

Sorry for detailed description. But, it may be usefull if one gets lost during a trip.

1.1 Active holidays for groups
Active holidays are based on a weekly schedule from Saturday till the next Saturday in the monthes July and August:

Arrival on Saturday

On Sunday first exploration of the area by minibus.

Four days for walking or cycling. One day for rest or for another activity: rafting on the river Vltava near Veltrusy or a boat trip on the river Luznice near Tabor.

The last Saturday for shopping and departure.

These group tours can be organised when at least eight persons are participating, because of the efforts for guidance and transportation. For the groups full service is arranged: all the lodging (bed, breakfast, lunch, dinner) and all the transport which is necessary for walking or cycling the designed routes. Important for active holiday participants is the influence of the whether. High temperatures and heavy rains regularly can occur in the continental climate of this area. Due to the destructive impact of extreme whether conditions and steep slopes upon the human body even when that is well trained it can be necessary to adapt the original program. But there are various alternatives: Within a radius of 100 kilometer there are three Unesco-protected towns plus a monumental village to visit: Prague, Kutna Hora, Cesky Krumlov and the village Holasovice. You can visit spas and practice different cures (if ordered ahead). Cures with mud, oils or wax, swimming in salt water pool and other procedures provide you another style of recreation. You can choose a day program of the possible excursions (mentioned on the next page). Or you can go swimming in an old stone mine, lake or in the river Vltava.

From this city you will be brought by minibus to the start of the tour and from the finish you will be driven back to Sedlcany During the trips your luggage will stay in this hostel.
