TRANSPORT
Co-ordinates: 50.027355, 16.462956.
Train to Dolní Dobrouč, then follow the cycle path in the direction of Písečná and Šušek lake, approx. 40 minute walk. If you are travelling by car from Písečná, follow the direction of Šušek lake. For both means of transport, approximately half way along the lake by the lay-by and linden tree is a turn-off upwards past the cottage. Take this turn and follow the road to the fenced meadow, on the left side will be a large white tent. In the designated spot open the fencing, close it to ensure the sheep do not escape (caution, the fence is electrified, handle only using the rubber grips), and proceed to the tent. Please ensure the fencing is closed throughout the entire duration of 5P, catching sheep in the forest would not be easy.
The co-ordinates for parking by the cottage are 50.03114, 16.46593. It is then a 5 minute walk to us.
