Formerly Zeidler. Both names are honey. In the Middle Ages, extensive apiaries were established here and their keepers were called ZEIDLER, i.e. fathers of bees. When the Second World War ended many hundreds of years later and the original population was driven off the land, a Czech name was searched for and searched for, fortunately, in the same drawer. And so brats, so you, who took care of the bee colonies in the hives, i.e. tree hollows, they gave the village its name a second time. It&#8217;s nice to know though, that the name could also sound like Father of the Bees. So let&#8217;s be a bee for a moment, let&#8217;s fly out of the hive and explore the village, whose fame suffered a lot and was forgotten by many, and she is full of remarkable traces of past lives and seeds of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"454\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cottage.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/brniky-namesti.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9646 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cottage.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/brniky-namesti.jpg 682w, https:\/\/cottage.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/brniky-namesti-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 682px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 682\/454;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because we are bees, it draws us to the crowns of flowering linden trees in the very center of Brtn\u00edky.

That it was heavily watered then<br>sauce from fresh air and beautiful nature is easy. That is why there is so much in the past in the region<br>anchored social institutions, which mostly survived and still work great today &#8211; quite often still under<br>capital of the city of Prague.

And within two years it grew into the entire building, so there is nothing left, than the castle in the year 1994 tear down. The reconstruction just didn&#8217;t work out&#8230; Sorry, The post-war development was not very favorable for this jewel of folk architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"879\" height=\"586\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cottage.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sternberk-2009.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9721 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cottage.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sternberk-2009.jpg 879w, https:\/\/cottage.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sternberk-2009-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cottage.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sternberk-2009-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 879px) 100vw, 879px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 879px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 879\/586;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But what kind of Scapular would that be?, if we allowed a completely wrong ending. So let&#8217;s listen to the fairy tale, which has, by itself, the end is good. The year is written 2006 and two delightfully naive, young people yearning for unspoiled nature and adventure, some Irena and a certain Ale\u0161, they run away from Prague and look for housing in the Czech Switzerland region. A wonderful and highly romantic possibility is presented &#8211; they could live in the grounds of a former hunting lodge! Great!!! But it would be hard to think of them, that the heir to the manor house is a rather worn-out old man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"904\" height=\"678\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cottage.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sternberk-2009_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9722 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cottage.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sternberk-2009_1.jpg 904w, https:\/\/cottage.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sternberk-2009_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cottage.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sternberk-2009_1-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 904px) 100vw, 904px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 904px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 904\/678;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But romance did come &#8211; just of a slightly different kind. Tma, that at night it was impossible to see the end of one&#8217;s own arm. A meter of snow in winter. The heating is rather symbolic, eternally frozen water in the pipes, nearest civilization two kilometers, a little closer, a pub in the village of Kopec flickering with a light in the distance&#8230; On the other side, pure nature, mushroom clouds, blueberry &#8211; all the friends wanted to go to visit. After a year at \u0160ternberk, they got married. And then Ema was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"726\" height=\"545\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cottage.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sternberk-2009_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9723 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cottage.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sternberk-2009_2.jpg 726w, https:\/\/cottage.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sternberk-2009_2-300x225.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 726px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 726\/545;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Brtnick\u00e9 icefalls?
