Šumava is full of various cottages and chalets. But one of these – a wellness hotel – stands out in many ways. The name ‘Chalupa’ is mainly due to its Alpine appearance. In the interior, however, there is perfect comfort and, especially, a large swimming pool.
The Šumava village of Prášily has been experiencing its modern prosperity since the 1990s. It is accessible from Srní, Hartmanice, or by turning off from the main road to Železná Ruda. It used to be cut off from the world, so the village boasts beautifully preserved natural surroundings. And fine accommodation as well. The new Wellness Hotel Chalupa is situated directly opposite a private botanical garden. The modern wood-filled building includes above-standard double rooms and two-bedroom suites containing 4 beds. Each room has its own en suite bathroom with shower, and a minibar, safe, TV, WiFi and private balcony. Guests’ cars may be parked in the Hotel’s guarded parking lot. The great advantage of the Hotel is its own wellness area. The swimming pool attracts visitors by its size of 18 x 9 metres, as well as the 12 massage jets, counterflow and massage spout. The heated bench, Finnish sauna and steam cabin are also pleasant. To refresh oneself, there is the experience shower with jets, spout and cooling bucket.
Šumava and especially Prášily offer a wide range of outdoor activities. One can undertake long or short excursions to see the natural beauties, both on foot and by bike. Hiking trails lead to, for example, Laka Lake, Prášilský Lake and Mount Poledník with a lookout tower (1315 m). In winter, one can enjoy the nearby ski slopes and various cross-country ski trails. However, Prášily village itself also offers many attractions, which is perhaps why the area is called Prášily Paradise. A private botanical garden is located right next to the Hotel. Don’t miss observation of the bisons and the opportunity to test your dexterity in the Rope Park. Those who enjoy horse-riding will be rewarded with a pleasant ride on a Haflinger horse, which originates in the Tyrolean Alps.
Success comes in many forms, but at a certain point in life, numbers stop being the measure and people become the measure. The celebration of the 5Oth birthday of a long-time client of THE INDIVIDUAL & INCENTIVE TOURS TRAVEL AGENCY in the heart of the Emerald Coast in Sardinia was no ordinary party.
There are places that are remembered for their beauty. And then there are places that are remembered for the feelings they evoke. Hotel Gardena Grödnerhof in the mountain town of Ortisei falls precisely in the latter category. In summer, this top hotel in the heart of Val Gardena provides a unique combination of active relaxation, top-notch gastronomy, wellness and the unique scenery of the Dolomites, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
