On the Palouk (Kontyš Gotka)

A place at the edge of the forest where foxes (but also roe deer, hares, herons and blue jays) really say goodnight. We guarantee that nowhere will you find a hedge as beautiful as the one created by the tall oaks and maples just beyond the property boundary. Here you can be part of the forest community as well as the waterfowl life. A hybrid container and brick structure ("Kontyš") or a marquee ("Gotka") will serve you for a family glamping stay. A contemplative individual, a couple in love, a family with six children, or adventurous grandparents will lay their heads and hearts here.

Kontysh will provide you with glamping extras - a shower with hot water from the roof and in winter from the spa stove, a flush toilet. It can comfortably accommodate 4 people (ideally parents with children). If you don't want a microwave, hairdryer or kettle, you can make do with electricity from a small solar power plant in 12 V and 230 V. You can use wi-fi, gas stove and oven, small fridge, projector with the possibility to share your phone screen via Google chromecast.
Inflatable mattresses can be used for more than two children.
Gotka is then for those who enjoy a more modest vegetation and enjoy how little it takes to be happy in the proximity of each other and nature. More than 2 people can sleep on the wide bed, but there is a simple extra bed for children (adults). Of course, there is water (drinking and drinking water in barrels), heat from the stove, electricity for lighting and charging small electronic appliances (phones, tablets). For sleeping and resting you will find a large double bed that can accommodate more than two people and an extra bed - a simple sofa bed for one or two children.
Attention, the cold water does not flow here and there, if other customers on the route of the private water supply have a higher consumption. We therefore recommend that you prepare a supply of cold water for the shower so that you don't end up soaked... The only emergency option is the rainwater tank under the eaves of Kontyše.
It is heated with prepared wood. The Kontyš is heated by a Canadian pipe stove, the maringot by a small Norwegian stove. In the winter months, you can also melt the spa stove in the Kontysh bathroom while heating the water.
In Kontysh you will find a gas stove with oven, dishes, a moka pot for expresso, and a projector for showing movies. In Gotka there is a gas cooker (two burner stove), basic utensils, moka pot. There are also board and card games. In the garden there is a trampoline, a 30 meter long children's ropeway and a heated bathing barrel for 4 to 6 people (you won't find it in the photos yet... but it will be).
You can build a fire in the fire pit at the cable car exit station. Gotka campers will also be close to home from there.
Drinking water is provided in barrels. Self catering. You can also eat fruits directly from the garden or forest (except for animals).
You can park directly on the property or right in front of it. 4 cars can fit comfortably. You can reach the place by a dirt road, which is perfectly passable in dry weather and after normal rain. In early spring and winter, a car without 4-wheel drive may have problems. If the road is muddy or covered with snow, it is necessary to walk 400 metres from the road.
The surrounding area offers many possibilities for excursions for those who do not want to give up urban activities. 20 km away is the town of Telč, whose historical centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the turn of July and August, the famous music festival "Holidays in Telč" takes place here for 14 days, with many opportunities for fun for the whole family. We can recommend Telč's entertainment centre Panský dvůr with its games room, climbing wall and rope centre for children. Golf lovers can also visit the Golf Resort u Vanova on their way to Telč.
JIhlava (ZOO, Aqua Park Vodní ráj) and Pelhřimov (Museum of Records and Curiosities, swimming pool) are at a similar distance as Telč.
Hikers, cyclists and e-bikers can discover many beautiful trails here. Some of them can be used to "climb" the hills of Křemešník (restaurant, ski slope, wind chateau and an important pilgrimage site), Čeřínek (ski slope, restaurant) or Javořice (the highest hill in the Highlands). After others, you can drive up to Roštejn Castle and the Great Stump Pond (peat bathing in the middle of the forest around Javořice). For more skilled cyclists, it will be no problem to explore the landscape of the Bohemian Kanady south of Javořice. In winter, there are snow-covered slopes at Čeřínek and Křemešník.
There is also a true paradise for gourmets, who can visit - even in worn trousers and a T-shirt - the Bistrot de papa restaurant in Horní Dubenky... if you book a table inside well in advance, or give thanks with a quiche or dessert, a pasty from the renowned chef Rémi outside in the pleasant sitting area by the pond. In this case, it is possible to wait for a moment when a folding deckchair or a stone in the adjacent garden will be available.
For those who don't want to walk too far, we recommend the renowned bathing quarry in Horní Cerekví with its clear water, directly in Cerekví it is also possible to use the bowling alley or the billiards in the restaurant U Suchánků and for those who want to get to know the local life to the core, we recommend a walk to Černov for a beer and a piece of talk in the nascent community pub.
