On the shore of the Vandrovský pond, under the bushy ancient oak, there is a place that caresses the surface of the mirroring sky with a cool palm. On summer days, when the sun spreads its rays of fatigue across the landscape, you can head up the stream to the chapel of St. Vojtěcha, where a healing spring springs up. It heals the eyes and is cool, the hands that you dip into the spring tingle after a while with winter even on days when the summer heat is at its greatest. Just a few meters from Aranka is a place with a view of the entire Šumava panorama. Under the crown of the Oak at the edge of the field, a modest bench offers a place to rest. Just stop for a moment, sit down and look into the distance. Because in the distance lies everything unknown, mysterious and adventurous, memories and expectations. To dream, to let thoughts roll across the landscape as far as the eye can see.

The Šumava landscape is theatrical, picturesque and welcoming. The low silhouettes of wooded hills alternate with pastures in the valleys, where red and plump church towers peek out. On summer days, their image comes alive, dances in the warm air. The calls and songs emanating from all the crowns and beaks of the smallest warblers will bring lightness of being to your mind.

Aranka welcomes all guests with everything they need. In Aranca there is basic equipment and raw materials for gastronomic games such as Nepalese salt, cane sugar, Arabic coffee, Sicilian virgin oil, Japanese green Oolong tea. In the kitchen there is a pan, a pot, a mocha pot, a French press pot, a tea pot, mugs, cups, wine glasses, sharp and blunt knives, plates, bowls, a wine opener, a potato peeler, a colander for pasta or salad. Organic cosmetics are available in the bathroom. In the fridge you will find wines from Neprašů, Pilsner Urquell and olives.

A hammock for lounging or counting the stars in the night sky, together with the best grill for a great dinner, is the little that is enough for happiness..

The two ponds are located an hour and a half by car from Prague, between Horažďovice and Pilsen.
