Keep Calm — a hideout among Czech meadows and fields

For absolutely anyone who needs to switch off. The guests who visit us most often are:

• Families with children - For them it's the ultimate offline adventure. Kids fall in love with the cargo net, reading with a flashlight under the blankets (we have children's classics and westerns here), board games, and roasting sausages or marshmallows.
• Couples - For romance, sunsets and peaceful walks. By the way, if you're planning to propose, you won't find a better backdrop in the forest.
• Groups of friends - For a long weekend, when over coffee on the terrace you can finally talk about the things there's never time for in everyday hustle.
• Solo travellers - When you want to be completely alone, meditate on our yoga mats, create, write or just stare into space. For peace of mind, you can lock yourself in from the inside with a sturdy latch.

We can comfortably accommodate up to 4 people (there are sleeping spots both upstairs and downstairs). But it's true glamping and a return to nature, so you won't find electricity, Wi-Fi or a conventional bathroom here. Instead, a total digital detox awaits you, along with a fire pit, views into the treetops and the option of a private sauna.

The best one! Experiences for a birthday, Christmas or anniversary never go out of style. We'll issue you a gift voucher – either sent instantly online by e-mail, or we'll happily make and send you a beautiful paper version.

It is a composting toilet in a small wooden cabin. We equipped it with a battery-powered light and disinfectant gel.

Yes, there is gas heating that can warm up the glamping site within 10 minutes. It is an advantage of a small space.

We have the best shower - a kettle that you can easily pull up using pulleys :) We definitely have some photos on Instagram.
