Join us to a trip to the river of Sázava, which offers in addition to the golden surface and beautiful natural scenery, many historical sites and monuments proudly standing on its banks. We visited a section around the village of Čtyřkoly, where we enjoyed a ferry across the river and a walk through the river spa, climbed to the ruins of Zlenice Castle and finally walked in the woods along the stream of Mnichovka.
