What is it?

In 1881 Prince Edmund Clary-Aldringen had a wooden chateau built, with Italian craftsmen, up against the Pravčická brána: the Sokolí hnízdo, the Falcon's Nest, one of the first tourist attractions in Europe. It was already a restaurant then and still is, inside the paid grounds of the arch.

What to order

Simple Czech cooking for those who have just climbed: soup, a hot dish, beer or something sweet. What you pay for here is the place: eating beside the arch, after an hour's climb from Hřensko.

Before you go

To get in you must pay the entry fee for the grounds (125 CZK). It opens on the arch's hours: every day from 10:00 to 18:00 from late March to October; from November to March, only Friday to Sunday, with limited services. If you go in winter, bring something to eat just in case.

What to order: a simple Czech meal and a beer on the terrace, with the arch beside you.
