Our tip
Small towns, villages and hamlets that have maintained their original character until today belong inherently to the region of Blaník knights. They are a part of a lovely mosaic of the countryside, supplemented by the river of Blanice, a number of streams, ponds and small ponds, forests, bushes, fields and meadows. Also a big amount of small sacral structures, field chapels, crosses and bell towers located in the countryside has a big impact on the romantic appearance of the Podblanicko area.
