A pretty pretty place that offers 3-4 parking spaces, right on the route to Stromberg and the old castle ruins. I also liked the good seating with a table, which offers space for at least 8 people. Not a view worth mentioning, but a wastepaper basket. I of value. To take a break, perfect!

A small ruined castle that is easy to explore and climb on foot. Great view over the surrounding valley.

Beautiful little castle ruins, but as others have already written, you could make more of it. I especially liked the many different plants and herbs that grow wild around the castle.

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
