The Courtship Hunting Lodges, Historic hunting lodge in Jetřichovice, Czech Republic.
The Courtship Hunting Lodges form a complex of timber buildings nestled within the České Švýcarsko National Park, surrounded by dense forests and distinctive rock formations. The site comprises several traditional structures that maintain the appearance and function of a historic forester's estate.
The lodges developed as a practical center for forestry and hunting activities in this heavily forested region, becoming an established part of local history over generations. Official recognition as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic came in 1966.
The name Na Tokáni reflects its deep roots in the local forest culture of the region. Today it functions as a gathering spot where hikers and visitors experience both the hunting heritage and contemporary hospitality in a single place.
The lodges are best reached on foot via the hiking trails in the area, particularly the Doubice Loop, which offers a well-marked route through the forests. Visitors looking to avoid steep or technically demanding sections can take alternative paths that bypass the more challenging stone steps.
The complex operates simultaneously as a protected cultural monument and a functioning restaurant, a rare combination that merges heritage preservation with active daily use. This allows visitors to experience history in a living context rather than viewing it from a distance.
