Discover Dubiny

When planning a trip to Dubiny, the garden and fruit-growing attractions can be clearly distinguished. The private botanical garden is located in Dubiny; the Ovocný sad Pod Dubinami orchard lies south of the settlement in Velkopopovicko Nature Park. This places a botanical garden and a specific fruit orchard side by side as distinct points of interest.

Botanical Garden and Orchard

The private botanical garden in Dubiny covers 5,000 m² and was founded in 1997. Its area gives a concrete sense of the garden’s size, while its founding year places it in time. Those interested in botanical gardens can thus take away two specific facts about this garden.

The Ovocný sad Pod Dubinami orchard is open to the public and contains 20 standard apple trees of old varieties. Its stock is clearly defined by the form of the trees and the old apple varieties. The orchard also has a rest area with a bench made from a cherry tree trunk and an information board. The bench offers a place to rest; the board adds on-site information to the rest area. Since rest-area furniture and information boards may need maintenance, it is advisable to check their condition before your visit.

Nature Park and Routes

Residents use the Velkopopovicko Nature Park for recreation and sports. The “Krajem Josefa Lady” and “Krajinou barona Ringhoffera” educational trails tell visitors about the region’s nature and history. Their subject matter thus combines knowledge of nature with a historical perspective on the region. The trails therefore offer a different focus from a visit centered mainly on individual trees or fruit varieties.

The Krajinou barona Ringhoffera route offers views of Velkopopovicko Nature Park and the Posázaví landscape. The route also includes an excursion at Velkopopovický Pivovar. If you plan to visit this stop, reconfirm access to the brewery before your trip.

Brewery Tour and Thematic Choices

During the tour of the Velkopopovický Kozel brewery, the brewing process in the current brewhouse is explained. A historic steam brewhouse dating from 1928 and traditional brewing crafts are also presented. For visitors aged 18 and over, the tour includes a tasting of unfiltered Velkopopovický Kozel. Before your trip, check the booking details, age requirements, and tasting conditions again, as booking details may change.

If you plan your trip around your interests, the different attractions have distinct focuses: the educational trails cover nature and regional history, the route combines landscape views with a brewery excursion, and the tour focuses on the brewing process and craftsmanship. This can help you decide whether to focus on nature or brewery culture.
