 Combine it all type of activities together!

Want to be in nature but also want to be with people but also want to have a cup of good coffee and also want to discover something new… Yes, we know what you feel like so let's check what combinations we have pre-planned for you: 

• Walk around Spilberk castle passing the church of saint Vaclav with golden dome + visit a nuclear bunker or see the view from the old town hall + get yourself coffee in Zahrada Ambrosia or Podnebí 

• Combine it all Walk along Brno reservoir until Sinice bar where you can borrow a paddle and try paddleboarding. There is also a BBQ place free to use.
