Červený Dvůr is a historic estate that was once the summer residence of the Schwarzenberg family and is now a sanatorium.

During the week there will be the opportunity to visit some of the region’s houses and castles. No prior skills are required, although participants will need to have a good level of fitness. A very limited number of places are still available.
