Vysoký Chlumec: Hotels and accommodations

Vysoký Chlumec takes you from medieval architectural history through the regional brewing tradition to an open-air museum in the stream valley. The Vysoký Chlumec castle seat was probably built in the second half of the 14th century by Purkart Strnad z Janovic. At the eastern end of Vysoký Chlumec, in the settlement of Vápenice, stands the Chapel of the Most Sacred Heart of the Lord. Vysoký Chlumec Castle is not open to the public.

Culture and history

The brewing exhibition in Vysoký Chlumec documents that the first written references to brewing beer there date from 1466. It displays old beer bottles, cooperage tools, labels, beer mugs and beer coasters. Visits to the exhibition can be arranged in advance through the local information centre.

At the Vysoký Chlumec Open-Air Museum, residential, agricultural, technical and smaller sacred structures are gradually being relocated to the natural grounds in the stream valley. Indoor exhibitions illustrate rural living and farming. Visitors can see a total of 24 buildings; 14 of them are accessible through indoor or special exhibitions. The open-air museum offers two visitor routes: a self-guided tour and a guided tour.

The Vysoký Chlumec Open-Air Museum's programme includes the traditional annual Masopust celebration. It also includes full-day programmes under the title Day of Crafts.
