About the trip

An undemanding cultural trip to Nová Paka for precious stones, a museum and the historical atmosphere of the Krkonoše Mountains.

Nová Paka is a pleasant destination in the Krkonoše Mountains, which is suitable for a shorter trip from the cottage. The city is best known for the Gemstones, where visitors can see minerals, fossils and interesting things from the geological history of the region.

The trip can be completed with a visit to Suchard’s house or a short walk through the city. Thanks to the indoor exhibits, Nová Paka is a good choice even in bad weather, when you don’t want to go on a longer mountain hike.

The program is suitable for families with children, couples and anyone who likes museums, history and unusual natural exhibits. You can combine the trip with other places in Podkrkonoší or on the way to Jičín.
