Farm experiences and sheep’s milk products
Farma Košík’s excursions include a farm tour, a milking demonstration and cheese-making. The programme combines the tour with two specific insights into farm work and cheese-making. Visitor arrangements and the availability of individual excursions may change, so check that your preferred experience is available before making plans.
Farma Košík also has animals for children: a donkey and a pony. Their availability may change. If seeing the animals is important to your plans, it is best to ask in advance.
Farma Košík’s range of sheep’s milk products includes Hrudka white cheese, Emmental-style hard cheese, smoked Oštiepok, Bryndza, Žinčica, Parenica and Oštěpok. The selection includes a variety of regional products, including cheeses and other sheep’s milk products. Seasonal availability may vary, so these specialities are a useful guide to your interests, but there is no guarantee that every product will be available at all times.
Archaeological and historical traces
A large burial ground with skeletal graves dating from the La Tène period was destroyed at the former Horák brickworks on the north-western edge of Košík. Košík was once home to a fortress. The built-up area is also an archaeological site: archaeological finds have been documented there, or are reasonably expected to be found. These details link a specific historical find context with a broader archaeological perspective on the built-up area of the village.
Another glimpse into the past concerns the settlements associated with Košík. Historically, they developed as agricultural settlements around farmsteads belonging to the church of Rožďalovice. This background complements the archaeological and heritage-related themes with the history of agricultural settlements.
The memorial in Košík was erected in 1928. It depicts the seated figure of a solitary, grieving woman. A dedication and the names of the victims are engraved on the front and both sides. Košík also has a sandstone cross depicting the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The two monuments have different emphases: the memorial is described by its figure and inscription, while the scene depicted is the focus of the cross.
Getting around and finding accommodation
The Sovoluský potok flows through Košík, and a marked hiking route also passes through the village. If you would like to include this route in your plans, check the current conditions in advance. Košík also has a bus stop. For your specific journey, check the timetable for your travel date.
When looking for a holiday apartment, you can start by asking yourself what you would like to focus on during your stay: a guided excursion offering insights into farm work, or exploring archaeological and historical traces. If you are planning a farm programme, check the availability of your preferred excursion and plan your journey around the bus connections on your travel date.
