Holes range between different plateaus, producing great views over changes height in of up to 42 m. This also creates extremely varied sporting challenges.

The poor soil conditions required technically very complicated planning. All the construction materials (sand and gravel) for the greens and tees, and above all the entire topsoil for the fairways and semi-roughs had to be trucked in from outside.

A spacious golf course developed on an area of around 100 hectares which, with its large number of exceptional holes, ranks among the best in the Czech Republic.

Enjoy this 6-hour tour that takes you along the main sights on both riverbanks of Prague.

At the Charles Bridge, we will embark on a 45-minute boat ride with refreshments. These small, wooden boats that are replicas of 19th-century vessels hold only up to 35 people, a far cry from the large, crowded vessels that usually take tourists along the Vltava River.

While taking in the romantic atmosphere, you will travel under the Charles Bridge and view the historical center from a fresh and captivating perspective. You will also enter the so-called “Prague Venice Canal” as you enjoy your Pilsner beer, coffee, or soft drink.

History seeps through the New Town, as many of the country’s most significant events happened in this district. Founded by Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV in 1348, the New Town was supposed to be the Jerusalem of Eastern Europe. Perhaps the most famous sight is the 820-yard long Wenceslas Square, which now flaunts businesses, shops, and hotels. Dating back to the 11th century, Prague’s Old Town gushes with history and architectural wonders.

Styles from Romanesque to Art Nouveau sparkle through the labyrinthine streets, alleys, and passageways that seem to jump right out of Franz Kafka’s novel The Trial. The impressive Old Town Hall, with a 60-meter tower at one end, was built in 1338. On the 15^th century astronomical clock, Death tips an hourglass and rings a bell before the 12 apostles march by, the cock crows, and another bell rings.

The plight of the Jews across the centuries becomes almost tangible in the former Prague Jewish Ghetto, given that most of the area is made up of the Jewish Museum that includes four synagogues and a cemetery.
