TOURIST DESTINATIONS

We invite you to visit the Velkopopovice brewery, which has been standing close to Prague for more than 140 years. The first batch was brewed in the brewery founded by Prague industrialist Baron Ringhoffer in December 1874. Since 1999, the Velké Popovice brewery has been part of Plzeňský Prazdroj, a.s.

In the castle grounds there is a castle park, which is stylized into a children's paradise. Here you will discover a fairytale land full of elves by the famous discoverer of fairytale land Vítězslava Klimtová, a hell with devils, a gingerbread house with a witch, Mike the cat, a mini zoo, a playground and a museum. The castle park includes a permanent exhibition of miniature Czech castles, chateaux and other historically interesting objects. Besides, you can stay directly at the castle in a renovated hotel.

The Ládví lookout tower, built in 2011, stands on the Vlková peak (488 m above sea level) and rises to a height of 45 metres. 150 steps lead up to the viewing platform, which is 25 metres above the ground.

The Mandava lookout tower is also a 12-metre high monument. The intention to build it was decided by the members of the District Education Committee in Jílové in 1929. The memorial was to commemorate the events of 1419, when a meeting of supporters of the Hussite movement led by Václav Koranda took place on this site.
