Radostná Pod Kozákovem: Hotels and Accommodation

Radostná pod Kozákovem lies entirely within the Český ráj Protected Landscape Area. Kozákov is a very old geological formation created by volcanic activity and a site where unique minerals are found.

Nature and Geology

The name Radostná pod Kozákovem is derived from the Radostná spring, which lies on the southwestern slope of Kozákov at an elevation of approximately 600 m. In the Kozákov settlement of Radostná pod Kozákovem lies the important natural feature Votrubcův lom, a well-known site where semiprecious stones are found. Mr. Votrubec’s collection of semiprecious stones in the Kozákov settlement can be visited year-round.

During the summer months of July and August, an annual exhibition of gemstones from the Kozákov area and its surroundings takes place at the Radostná pod Kozákovem municipal office. Since 1982, an annual carnival parade with a horse-drawn carriage has taken place in Radostná pod Kozákovem during the carnival season, ending with a carnival ball. The chapel in Volavec was restored on the outside in 2017 and on the inside in 2018.
