Chalet Zbojská

Posted on by

TRAVEL TIP: Less than one hour drive from our apartment towards Tisovec there is the “Zbojská” chalet. There is also a restaurant with a classic local food. While you are waiting for a delicious meal, you can read the story of the brigand Jakub Surovec. For children there is a mini farm with pets and a children’s playground. A short walk takes you to a viewing tower built in 2016, which also serves monitoring of protected animals. For active athletes there is a bicycle rental and for those who prefer less physical activity, there is a “brigand shuttle” for a sightseeing ride around the area. For tourists there is an opportunity to visit one-way educational walkway to the Devil’s Valley, with a short detour to Devil’s Cave. At the end of the trip You can buy a souvenir and products made from sheep’s milk or tasty cakes for the way back.
