The Central Park and Brandýs Matýsek

One of the evidence of Brandýs prosperity in the last years. Once a plain area below the Brandýs Hospital has recently changed to a new park with picnic spots, an in-line track and other possibilities for doing sports.

Marianský pilgrimage site

The Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Stará Boleslav is the oldest Marian pilgrimage site in our country.

The modern Wake Port water sports area was opened to its visitors in Proboštská jezera in 2021. It includes three water tows and the longest wakeboard track in the Czech Republic.

Voyage along the Elbe River

Become a captain of your own boat. After a short training, you can hire a motor houseboat and float along the whole streams of the Elbe and the Vltava Rivers as far as to the Slapy Reservoir. The anchorage is located on the island next to the Kayak Club and Kondor docks.

Houšťka Forest Park

The vacation spot on the Stará Boleslav side of the Elbe River became famous thanks to runner Emil Zátopek, who beat many world records there. And the area lives and breathes for sports even today.
