Výlety za strašidly: 30 tipů na výlety po českých hradech a zámcích pro celou rodinu – Koutek Tomáš (2025)

Our country is literally bursting at the seams with historical monuments of all kinds. Here, we find hundreds of castles, their ruins, or just traces of them in the terrain, more than 6200 municipalities, many of which boast collections of historical buildings, walls, and valuable ecclesiastical architecture. The number of chateaus and fortresses is beyond counting. And then there are the charms created by Mother Nature! The desolate border forests, the pond-dotted landscape of South Bohemia, the sparsely populated Pošumaví! On forest paths, in the winding streets of towns, and among the half-ruined walls of castles, we are watched from afar by the eyes of mysterious beings from ancient times. Forest spirits, mining gnomes, fairies, will-o'-the-wisps, or the apparitions of long-deceased inhabitants of noble estates carefully guard our actions in their territory. And woe to anyone who does not behave properly in their presence. They will not escape punishment! Some may get off with a slap on the wrist, while for others, an encounter with the supernatural can be significantly more fateful. This book, among other things, tells the stories of encounters between people and the mysterious guardians of thirty places selected by the tramper Tomáš Koutek.
