POST SYMPOSIUM TRIP

2-day post symposium trip will be organised to some lovely area in our country called Český ráj (Bohemian Paradise). This area is rich in castles, chateaux, and natural beauty spots (Rock Towns). The return will be possible to Brno or to Prague (airport). The price of the post-symposium trip will be 100–120 EUR.
