Review: game for children and parents Arcana at Svijany Castle

We tried it for you: a game for the whole family at Svijany Castle

Everyone knows Svijany mainly because of the beer. But the small village on the edge of the Bohemian Paradise, located on the D10 motorway Prague - Turnov, offers much more. Beer has been brewed here since 1564. The local chateau was built 14 years later, in 1578. And it is the centre of family entertainment and relaxation. But the history of this place is much older, dating back to the Bronze Age.

We've tried it for you

Pátiveí deštivé afternoon meant that we probably wouldn't have much fun with the kids today. However, we had booked fromázážit game Arcana, which is played inánádherentlyárenovatedámku Zámku Svijany and reveals the secrets ofábávalémku owner Alain Rohan. Among other things, this pán was the first time in the Czechých landsách to introduce sicknessá insuranceá for itsé employees.

& It was ourší firstší joint familyárite game, so we wereáiná anticipationání to see how it would entertain the kids and how the wholeé thing would go.

By the time at Zámku Svijany

On the drive to the zámku we parked in a large parking lot. Parkingání is free. At the reception nás uvís a very niceá ladyá whoá explained to us with ús laugh the rules how to control the mobileá app (without tá you will not play, so we recommend to arrive with a chargedý phone). Free Wi-Fi is available at the zá so you don't even need mobile data.

 

The game from the náyardí gradually leads to the nádherné chapel of St. John and St. Paul, where a series of úrounds await inás. Gradually go througházíte nádherné expositions, such as the úaweá cave of prehistoricé man, whichá is partástí of the newé exposition on the Neolithic and Eduard &Scaron& torch. It gradually leads up to the exposition on the history of brewing. Where exactly it ends, we won't tell :) 

Not only were we engaging ouré brainsé to the fullest and searching for spré answers together, but we were also ú intrigued by the ú history. So nás it was fun and interesting that we stopped competing for the bestáí time :) We enjoyed the game, so it took us a full 2 hours.

 

Just beware, after completing theálo, it didnátáme to quit the game, so donát forget that (itásáyou that máme kids whoáme to it right away).

Inštheiršwešre abovešení and fromálevel of hungerí. Therefore, we went to the Brewery Restaurant, whichá is locatedá about 100 m into theá mek. Krásná restaurant, výborné beer (beerí tasting´ board was not missing) :),  super jídlo and just like at zámku smilingá and fastá service.

 

Beerá lázně, hotel and moreá fun for the whole family

If the weather was nice, we'd definitely go to thešte for the Arcana – family game – questání for the treasure of Hopsí the Hopsí imp. With a specialálním backpack, you can explore the surroundingámck and complete moreácolúcol.

For those whoým one game would be enough and want to keep something for the secondý day, they can use the místní beerí lázně. Beer bath in quality Svijany water enriched with brewer's yeast, malt and hops in aá with aá on the body and soulši. Navíc is for vás on tap preparedý svijanský ringedý lagerák Zámek.

If you're not from the area, you can stay at a 3-star hotel. It is an idealální place for walking&scaron& í and cyclingýflights throughout theém Czechéráji.

And that's not inše!

Doesštám come málo to you? Well, arrange a tour of the brewery in advance or go on a specialá night´ tour of the brewery with archaeologist Peter Brestovanským, whoý was in charge of the mý excavations and was there to answer anyý questions.

And before you go home, make sure you stop by the brewery shop
