A Garden That Smells Like Childhood

A private orchard and garden on Kalich Hill in Sušice. A place for families, friends, children, dogs, quiet, adventure, and true relaxation.

Do you still remember the summers when you picked an apple straight from the tree, ran barefoot through the grass, built forts, climbed trees, and didn’t come home until dusk?

On Kalich Hill in Sušice, we’ve created a place that brings these memories to life. A place where time slows down. Where children discover the world with their own hands and adults can truly relax for the first time in a long while.

A private garden awaits you, complete with an orchard, a cottage, and stunning views of the town of Sušice, the Otava River, and the surrounding countryside. Just a few minutes from town, yet surrounded by a silence that’s rarer than anything else these days.

You can pick herbs for tea or dinner, pluck currants, gooseberries, or apples straight from the tree, dig up your own potatoes, onions, or garlic, and prepare a meal from what’s just grown around you. Children learn where food really comes from, and adults are reminded of what summer tastes like.

The entire space is designed to encourage natural movement, the joy of discovery, and healthy time spent outdoors. Among the trees, you’ll find swings, hammocks, a slackline for balance training, ninja obstacle courses, climbing structures, slides, a sandbox, a mud pit, and spots for creating your own adventures. Here, children don’t have to follow instructions. All they need is space and imagination.

On a hot day, you can cool off in the wading pool. If you’re looking for some peace and quiet, climb up to the lookout at the edge of the property and let yourself be carried away by the view of the landscape that the Hussites once traversed centuries ago. Kalich isn’t just a hill. It’s a place with a story, an atmosphere, and the spirit of days gone by.

For moments of relaxation, there’s a cozy cabin with a fully equipped kitchenette, a gas stove, dishes, dining tables, and folding mattresses for the whole family. You’ll find fairy tale books, board and card games, puzzles, arts and crafts supplies, and tools for exploring nature.

You won’t find Wi-Fi here. You won’t find a rush here. You won’t find endless notifications here.

You’ll find something that many people are missing.

Time.

Time for the kids. Time for yourself. Time for shared experiences.

You can spend the night in a cabin, in a tent under the stars, or in a camper among the trees. You can come with your children, friends, and even your four-legged companions. The entire grounds are always yours alone—no other guests, no shared spaces, no disturbances.

Whether you’re looking for a family vacation, a weekend with friends, a celebration, a gathering of several generations, or just a place to take a break from the world for a while, “The Garden Where Childhood Smells Sweet” offers something that’s becoming increasingly hard to find these days.

A place where there’s no need to rush.

A place where life happens outdoors.

A place where children rediscover adventure and adults remember what it was like to be a child.
