Journeys into the Soul of the Countryside
An edition from the project Smart Tourism in the South Bohemian Border Region
Every fairytale begins "beyond nine mountains and nine rivers, there once lived..." But in truth, the most beautiful lies right at our feet.
Museum of Rural Life in Předslavice
Enter the museum through the revitalised Baroque gate of the former U Blumů farmhouse from 1848, built by the folk builder and mason-artist Jakub Bursa. In addition to agricultural themes, the museum presents traditional crafts, folk celebrations, and the simple fact of how resourceful rural people used to be. For operational reasons, visits must be arranged in advance by phone: +420 383 372 437.
