Out of Prague: Loučeň

Czech Republic is filled with interesting places that aren't in Prague - imagine that. And many of the day trips out of the city are great for children too. Just such a place is Chateau Loucen about an hour's drive northeast of the city.



The grounds of the chateau include 10 labyrinths of different forms from stone to hedges and more. You can access the chateau as well via an hour tour and there's a wonderful view of the countryside from the restaurant inside. If you have time to get out of Prague or are traveling to Prague by car, consider stopping here for an afternoon. You can visit the chateau's website for more information. It's in Czech but you can click around and get enough info.

The chateau also offers romantic hotel rooms and wedding services.
