We could witness this at „Accessible sights – Is that today´s reality or vision of the future  

Where to go this colorful season.

For the first time after a long travel break due to covid, my mother and I went for a trip to Dublin, Ireland. It was a great feeling to be able to observe the hustle and bustle at the airport once again. It's true that the wait for our plane was bit long and we were chasing each other with an assistant for disabled at the airport for a while... lucky to find him at last.

A beautiful day trip around a mountain town Harrachov is well accessible by both a battery powered wheelchair and a manual one. The starting point is a bus station where it´s possible to park your car. Then pass by Šindelka museum (not accessible for a wheelchair) and then continue to nearby Meet Point Bistro Mumlava. There´s not only an accessible entrance, but also good food and wide range of beverages to choose from and accessible toilet for disabled.

Tri-point – a place where three states of the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland meet - and Hrádek nad Nisou were our mapping goals this time.

Human being learns something new his whole life. Thank to being involved in the Disway project as members of the mapping team, we realized with my mom that there is an accessible bus from my hometown Harrachov to well-known Zlaté návrší (Golden Heights). It´s close to Vrbatova bouda (Vrbata Hut) and also the Hanč and Vrbata Monument.

You might remember our complaints about how it is with accessibility of Czech sights in one of our previous posts. From our recent experience we have to say that every cloud has a silver lining.

Our team got busy on 26th May. We mapped the trail from Jablonné v Podještědí to Lemberk Castle. Duo Aleš Černohous and Milan Novotný was accompanied by Jana Panáčková to check out the accessibility of this trail with a stroller.

It may not be one of the most barrier-free places in the Czech Republic, but it is definitely worth visiting Valtice Castle and enjoy the beautiful architecture.
