Walnut Tree Refuge - St. Christopher's Valley

A mid-19th century stone house with garden in a calm part of Kryštofovo Údolí / Christofsgrund - a picturesque and well preserved Lusatian village. Surrounded by hills and serene forrests, yet 15 minutes from Liberec, the regional capital, and a 80 min. ride from Prague. Cool house in a cool valley. Modern equipment with all you need. Great base for trips in "Isergebirge", "Riesengebirge", "Zittauer Gebirge" or "Sachsische Schweiz". Cold tolerance advised in winter months. The space A garden with a large quality trampoline, a parasol and furniture and a large walnut tree that gives shade all day long, a raspberry bush (ripening in July) a fireplace and a grill. Inside, 5 to 6 people can sleep on beds and two on a couch in the living room. More on matraces or in a tent in the garden. The house is not centrally heated. Between November and March you can heat the rooms but the bathroom and hall will necessarily be rather cold. For example you need to turn on the local electrical heating in the bathroom some ten minutes before taking a shower. You’ll also need to pay attention to heating in the rooms (a wood burning stove in the living room and electrical or gas heaters in the bedrooms). We can start the heating before you come if we know when that would be. In winter only hardy and cold tolerant people will enjoy the stay. Guest access You'll have access everywhere: 2 bedrooms, living room with a cooking place, bathroom, WC, pantry, garden. Other things to note The house is visited and guarded by our cat named Gandalf. Let us know if you don't want him here, we'll take him with us. You can limit his access around the house, as we do.
