Not far from Beroun is the village of Vysoký Újezd. The advantageous location offers peace and privacy with a still pleasant twenty-minute drive to the capital. The big attractions are more affordable prices, unchanged exclusivity, and close nature. Clean air, minimal noise and beautiful views of the surrounding greenery and meadows. Český kras - Pláně is an ideal home for those who want to live in connection with nature, but work does not let them go completely alone.
There comes a time in life when the moment everyone claimed would never come does come. Instead of the city bustle, we start to be attracted by the tranquility of the countryside and instead of a walk for a coffee, we appreciate a quiet and undisturbed forest path. We will have had enough of block flats and we will derive greater joy from family houses with a soul and a charming chapel by a pond. This fantasy in all its beauty is exactly what the Český Kras microregion offers.
If you are attracted by beautiful nature with the option of countless interesting places for trips, you will like it here. The protected landscape area Český kras offers a lot. In addition to associating many charming villages, the very well-known quarry Velká Amerika is not far away. The Koněpruské caves are also an attraction. Athletes also get their money's worth because the walls are a great attraction for all climbers. For runners, there are several routes that they can use during their runs out. In summer it is ideal for cycling enthusiasts and for dog lovers it is a paradise on earth.
High Újezd Castle, Bubovice Waterfalls or remind yourself of the cult film Night at Karlstein? The surroundings offer a lot and families with children will also enjoy it.
The whole area brings a pleasant atmosphere, to which the surrounding villages contribute. Each a little different, but they have a lot in common. They are full of traditions, with massive long-lived trees, mainly Lindens and homesteads, which could tell stories of many years.
"The first written mention of Vysoký Újezd dates back to 1310. The local parts of Vysoký Újezd today also include the settlements of Kuchař and Kozolupy. The most valuable historical sight of Vysoký Újezd is a castle from 1897, arisen from the reconstruction of the older residence of the Counts of Šlik."
states heraldist Miroslav J. V. Pavlů. This confirms the atmosphere and tradition of local communities.
Right next to Vysoký Újezd, there is also a new expansive golf course Albatross. It gives a slight contrast and brings novelty, which adds some spice. We can find a hospitable and very well-rated restaurant here. For the adventurous, there are different glampings nearby, so there is also an option of winter overnight stay for those interested.
Village life offers stability, tranquility, and safety. Communities in villages tend to be cooperative and helpful, and the anonymity of the city is replaced by familiar faces. For families, it is also a great way to provide children with a classic childhood without fear. Concrete walls are replaced by family homes and the hustle and bustle remain only in children's joy. A major advantage is also cleaner air, which has a positive impact, both on mental and physical health. The pace of life tends to be slower and thus less stressful.
Combining renovation and preservation of traditional village benefits is not an easy task. In Vysoký Újezd, they managed to achieve this thanks also to the utilization of a preserved farmhouse.
"Together with the office, there are also plans to build a community hall with a restaurant and other spaces for community use. The village is also considering relocating the post office to the area. The garden at the farmhouse is intended to serve the citizens in the future - we plan to use it for social events, supplemented with play elements for children,"
The deputy mayor of Vysoký Újezd, Josef Jáchim, stated in the local newsletter.
Advanced transport infrastructure is a great advantage, but without community amenities, it would be more of a rescue. This way, quick connections to Prague or Pilsen are more of a nice advantage than a necessity for living. Public transportation is also available, which parents will appreciate for their children. The availability of community services with new residential projects and playgrounds for children is also pleasing. The area is attractive for both families and potential investors.
Here you will find both a kindergarten and a primary school, along with a library and post office. You don't have to go far for groceries, and gourmets will also get their money's worth. After all, the luxurious Michelin-starred Papilio restaurant is located here.
"I've never had so many flavorful experiences in one evening. However, next time I'd rather opt for the three-course lunch menu they also offer here, so I don't overeat at night."
said Jana Hajíčková, editor of the Berounský deník.
