Velké Dářko


As for campsites we thought we had turned up to a dodgy commune. The place was unkempt, toilets disgusting the forest littered with toilet paper (presumably because the forest was a better alternative to the toilets!) and the lake had a strange green slime skin. It was interesting to see that when people went swimming, they brushed/splashed the slime aside to make a clean path to the better water deeper out. Still, we were only there for the night.
Morning came and transformation!
A heron was feeding on the other bank, the boats on the lake glistened in the early sun, and as we went for a walk, the view opened up into a rather nice large lake (slime was still there, but not so bad). We went mushroom picking with some success and the kids enjoyed the off roading on the bikes. Our opinion altered, we packed up and headed north.
