The holiday centre on the Sobenský rybnik lake is located in the heart of Brdy on the border of the Brdy landscape park, near Rožmitál pod Třemšínem. The location is a sunny forest meadow surrounded by trees, a stream and a lake. The location is ideal for hiking trips to the endless Brdy mountains, as well as more active sightseeing trips and museums visits, of which there are plenty nearby. The area is intended for use in summer camps for children, school trips, get-to-know events, corporate events and family recreation. Everything is geared towards the children’s stay.

The property has a capacity of 180 people in brick buildings and cottages. Our own kitchen in the main building provides meals six times a day; the building also features a dining room and a large hall, which can be used to hold fireside classes, as well as other clubrooms (classrooms). Sobeňák operates from April to October.

ACCOMMODATION

90 beds split between two and six-person bedrooms in four brick buildings
80 beds in four-person cabins
Medical centre and isolation for anyone feeling unwell

Site

The centre is located in the beautiful countryside of the Brdy forest, 5 minutes from Rožmitál pod Třemšínem. Rožmitál has shops, a doctor, a post office and other important infrastructure. The area can be reached by a surfaced road suitable for buses. The area itself is in a meadow on a plain which goes on for as far as the eye can see, meaning no all-day jogging uphill. The resort is situated in a quiet, secluded area surrounded by forest.

The Sobenský rybník lake is in the immediate vicinity, a local landmark (judge for yourself:). We will provide boats for games and rides.

Boarding

Guests are served food 5 times a day (and even a sixth „second dinner“), including two hot meals. Food is always prepared by professionals and other helpers. There is also a regular drinking regime. There are plenty of hot and cold drinks available throughout the day. We cook well so that the children like the food. We can prepare gluten-free and vegetarian food.

Our premises are regularly checked by the Regional Hygiene Authority.

HISTORY

A mill stood in the beautiful countryside near the Sobenský rybník lake in the heart of the Brdy Mountains until 1895. After it was damaged during a storm and the community declined. Reconstruction of the site began in the fifties and cottages started popping up around it.

The Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences started building a recreation center at Sobenský rybník lake in 1963. The first pioneers came to Sobeňák in 1967. After 1989, the Trade Union of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic leased it to KYMEVO, which operated it on and off until 2017.

We bought Sobeňák in 2018 and, with the help of Sobeňák s.r.o., we are starting to reconstruct it (without subsidies – from our own funds) and we want to offer it to camps, schools trips and groups.
