Among the fields of blue…
You’ll recognise the fields with blooming lavender even your eyes closed! It will elate you with its unmistakable scent. And when you open your eyes, you’ll be amazed at the blue splendour even though you are not in Provence. Farms specialising in growing lavender can be also found in the Czech Republic. A few kilometres away from Prague, in the village of Nezabudice, you’ll find the organic
Křivoklát Lavender farm. Nearby, the
Lavender Valley Farm in Chodouň awaits you. You can literally immerse yourselves in lavender at this farm. Just choose one of the lavender wellness procedures. Liven up your lavender trip with a tour of the royal
Křivoklát castle or the family-owned
Rückl glass factory. The lavender season will also start soon at the
Lavandia Farm in Starovičky by the
Lednice-Valtice Landscape Area. They make special homemade lavender lemonade or ice-cream, and you can even have a lavender coffee there. Take a stroll along the lavender trail at the
Bezděkov Lavender Farm near
Olomouc; a lavender massage in the midst of aromatic bushes is available by appointment.
