Váholezení and other local points of interest

In 2025, Váholezení was held for the eleventh time at the former weighbridge beside the middle pond. Participants had to cross the wall of the former weighbridge above the pond as quickly as possible without falling into the water. The competition's distinctive feature is the combination of wall, water and time pressure.

After the 2025 competition, refreshments and light snacks were available in front of the weighbridge for participants and spectators. If you are planning a trip to attend Váholezení, check the announcement for your preferred event date; the event format and refreshments described here refer to the 2025 edition.
