Why go

Escape to Mýtský rybník, a beautiful and quiet pond located in the untouched nature of Slavkovský les. It's a perfect spot for relaxation and a refreshing swim. The water has a unique dark color, like coffee, which comes from the surrounding peat streams. This peat water is said to be beneficial for your body! The pond itself is over 400 years old and has a rich history as part of a medieval water canal system.

Getting there

The pond is a bit of a hidden gem and requires a little effort to reach. You can get there via a lovely 2-3 km hike or as a stop on a bike ride along local cycling trails. The journey is part of the experience, leading you through beautiful, quiet nature.
