Venue and Social Events
|
Nove Hrady
is a small historical town situated in marvelous South Bohemia about 35 km from Ceske
Budejovice, the home of the Czech king of beers Budweiser, and 90 km from Linz (Austria). It features a traditional medieval castle and a chateau, which houses the Institute of Physical Biology and the Institute of Landscape
Ecology and will serve as our Meeting Centre.
Nove Hrady sits right at the heart of two natural pearls of South Bohemia, the Protected Landscape Area
Trebonsko and the Natural Park of
Novohradske Hory (Nove Hrady Mountains), respectively.
There are numerous hiking and biking trails in the neighbouring areas.
In addition, the city of Nove Hrady is also situated about 25 km from Trebon and about 50 km from Cesky Krumlov. These small towns represent the true highlights of the Czech national history with their spectacular chateaus and city centers formed by tiny squares and streets. Cesky Krumlov is the UNESCO town preserve and the second most often visited town in Czech Republic. Trebon's spa is surrounded with many old fishponds including the largest one in the Czech Republic bearing a name Svet (The World).
The guided tour
to Cesky Krumlov or
Trebon
will be offered to the Meeting participants on a free Friday afternoon. The Trebon tour will take you to
the historical Regent beer brewery
(founded in 1379) with a beer tasting. We would like to kindly ask those interested to register for the tours at the registration form. The tour charge will be added to your registration fee and should not exceed 60 EUR. The meeting will be concluded with a banquet at the Meeting Centre Nove Hrady.
