Penzion Stará Vápenka — Hotel in okres Klatovy

The place is serene and the hotel is ok. It’s trying to be an upscale penzion but there is still much to learn to get to the European standard.

For walks in nature, you just walk up the road and there it is. Highly...

I had trout, nicely seasoned. The dining area is glass on three sides; it faces a large pond with a tiny waterfall & rustic rocks. Children were enthralled by the thousands of tiny black tadpoles which they scooped up and observed (second week of May). We walked around their ekofarma; wish we could have been able to learn...
