THE VILLAGES OF STRUŽNICE, HORNÍ POLICE AND THE TOWN OF ŽANDOV
lie right on the banks of the river Ploučnice, meaning that boating is always a popular activity. Events on the river are often organised by the village of Stružnice, most famously its humorous “washtub festival”.
THE AUGUST “ZAHRÁDKY FESTIVAL”
In addition to the authentic Renaissance market-fair, many exhibitions often prepared in cooperation with the Natural History Museum in Česká Lípa, tours of the chateau cellars and an all-day cultural programme, the celebration also allows visitors to walk along a very interesting and otherwise inaccessible trail around 8 km in length – the trail to the Vřísek hunting lodge in the game park, reached through the Wallenstein linden alley and one of the oldest pheasant-ranges in Bohemia. Another trail leads to the valley of Peklo, with a detour to the Josef Lookout near the New Manor, which is in private hands.
Included in the programme are fencing matches, puppet shows, competitions for children, displays of Renaissance fashion and musical performances. The usual culmination of the events is the annual appearance of one or more popular Czech singers or actors.
After the programme, it is possible to find refreshments in one of the cozy local inns of Zahrádky, or to continue 6 km onwards to Česká Lípa, with its Natural History Museum, monastery garden, moated castle and aquarium.
There are several large supermarkets in Česká Lípa that remain open until the evening – Kaufland, Hypernova, Interspar, Lidl, Penny Market, etc. In the smaller towns of Zahrádky and Holany there are grocery stores, yet they close early.
