U Zelené ratolesti — where the horse railway met Lanna

Pěšky 50 min · Autem 10 min

The coaching inn from 1821 still stands, with a guesthouse and restaurant you can visit. The courtyard with the historic coach house matters most: these spaces were for horses, wagons and goods, not guests. In 1838 Vojtěch Lanna had a horse-railway siding brought here.

Coaching inn from 1821 with stables, stores, workshops and quarters for drivers. In 1838 Vojtěch Lanna had a horse-railway siding laid here — to transship freight onto boats or wagons. The only place in town where railway, carts and river met on one yard. And it still stands.
