Šmelcovna v Bítýšce

Šmelcovna is a colony situated in the beautiful and pristine valley of Bílý potok (White Brook). It is popular with tourists. Every year on the first Sunday of spring, a winter farewell carnival is held there attracting a lot of visitors. The origin of this tradition dates back to 1902, when it was founded by a tourist club from Brno called “Noha” (The Foot). Between 1912 and 1933, a renowned Czech poet, Petr Bezruč, participated in this Spring Welcoming Event.
