Description Meadow Marvels: Cerny Dul/Cista

There will be family fun a-plenty at this wonderful lodge in the Czech countryside. Whether you're visiting at the height of summer or in the depths of winter, there's plenty to keep you happy here.

You'll fall in love with the rustic exterior and the cosy living space – think wooden beams, comfy armchairs and big windows framing the views. Toss a log on the fire and curl up for a toasty evening in with a good book and a glass of wine. When the weather is warm, you can head outside and soak up the sun on the patio, while the wee ones run wild in the garden. And, when you need to cool off, the sparkling swimming pool awaits – dive in and take a refreshing dip.

You can take a short drive over to Vrchlabí Ski Area to hit the slopes and shred some powder during the winter months. In the summer, hop on your bike or lace up your hiking boots to start exploring the magical forests and beautiful meadows. And, if you take a short drive, you can even visit the atmospheric ruins of Castle Pecka.
