Around the apartment: what to see and do in Wallachia

Horní Lideč sits in a valley between the Javorníky hills and the White Carpathians, a stone's throw from the Slovak border — in one of the least crowded corners of Moravia. We've written up the nine trips we actually recommend to guests, from rock labyrinths and orchid meadows to bowling on a rainy evening. Each one tells you how far it is from the apartment and when it's worth going.
