to create a distinctive character that
affords visitors the opportunity to relax,
play sport, or learn about the region.
It’s hardly surprising, then, that the
area was popular among Bohemian
rulers, including the Jagiellon dynasty,
which reigned between 1471 and 1526.
They oversaw a period of peace and
prosperity, whichwas of immense
benefit to artists such as Albrecht
Dürer and Lucas Cranach.
Five centuries later, the Jagiellons
and their culture have returned. The
