How to train your Dragon. We're sure all of you know succesfull movie series based on book series from Cressidy Cowell, british writer. Come with us and enter the world of dragons and harsh Vikings, living in harmony ever since the rule of the king Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. Find and bind yourself to your dragon companion that will stay by your side until the end. Each dragon is unique. Evil tongues say that dragon is a creature with the soul of a cat and the body of a lizard, hence it is important to show your respect to them. In exchange for that, they will reward you with a friendship forever. In the evening, rest with the others at the Langeldure, a fireplace at the ceremonial hall, and enjoy some mead same as your ancestors did, now resting with Odin in Valhalla.

Dragon Lexicon (non-suiter game)

Being a proper Viking is no easy task on it's own, and now imagine having a dragon as your partner and pet on top of it. This winged majestic creature will eat your boots, char your eyebrows and sometimes eat and/or char the last pieces of your dignity. And that's only for starters. Are you ready to become a proud Viking, tame your dragon, impress your friends and not burn down half of the village? Dragons are waiting! Come and enjoy our legendary congame!

How to train your Dragon (fursuiter and non-suiter game)

Now that you've got your Dragon, you have to train it. Find yourself a companion and come play the outdoors games for fursuiters. Get ready for a test of your cleverness, strength and speed. True Viking should control his axe, muscles and brain. It does not matter who's the brain is or whether it is still attached to a body. Quite the contrary, a Dragon will surely adapt to its opponent's speed, cleverness, and their limbs. Games are for pairs and will be taking place in the Castle's garden!

How to build a Dragon (Workshop)

Before you can train your dragon, you have to make one. Don't hesitate and come to our workshop, where we'll together create a unique dragon for everyone, and in the end, we'll let it fly, with hopes for bright winds provided by Njörd. No need to bring anything - everything will be prepared for you (however, if you wish to make your dragon extra fancy, the only limit is your imagination!).

Please help us find out how many people are interested in this workshop and if you really want to attend it, select a proper Binding order on the My package and payment page. The binding order will be priced for 0 CZK (meaning it's free), but it will tell us how many people wish to attend. Please, select it only if you are really sure you will attend, thank you. We'll have some spare ones prepared on site for those who forget, but there will be only a few extra available. You can choose until August 21, 2026, 8:00 PM.

Noble and exceptional knights of the Swordplay Historical Group, Royal Mercenaries, will take care of your entertainment. Examples of historical armor, magnificent fights and knighthood will accompany you for the whole time you will spend on such magical place as Jindřichovice are. Do not be afraid to address our knights, they definitely won't bite you and they might even show you something extra. Knights from SHG Royal Mercenaries will be your conductors in all variants of the Con Game.

Viking's Fireshow

In cooperation with SGH Royal Mercenaries, a grand Fireshow will take place on one of the nights, with a theme focused on north mythology and harsh world of Vikings. Let yourself be taken a few centuries away by the power of fire!

Gustation historical feast with commentation

For this year, we have again prepared for you, in cooperation with SHG Royal Mercenaries, gustation slice through food habits of a Viking warrior. 

• Not sure if sweet or salty appetizer? Baked goat cheese with honey and walnuts will satisfy all your tastebuds and sort the dilemma for you. 
• Autmn in the North is far more dreary than in our lands and more depressing than a week before a raid. Some proper cabbage soup will warm up frozen limbs and sooth souls of warriors. 
• Best defense against Dragons? A trebuchet? A shield? No, a smoked ell! Served with carrots. 
• For a truly authentic experience, all those meals can be washed down with a Dragon fire. 
• And naturally, the most important part of any feast - a dessert. Sourdough buns with saffron, decently raided from nearby settlements, to make the Viking's life more bearable.

The price is set to a pleasant 700 Kč, if you chose the full pension, or 900 Kč, if you didn't choose food. There is a limit of 30 people for this gustation experience, so do not hesitate, as you can directly support the group SHG Royal Mercenaries.

Archery

Archery was a popular hunting sport even in Vikings times, often the only way of getting meat. Even though these times have mostly passed (and we definitely advise against shooting at the peacocks), many of us are still interested in this beautiful practice - which you can now try at Furrstein! You will be given a brief introduction to the basics of archery by Sofa, which will also lend you her bows (under the assistance of our helpers, to ensure safety of both of you and your immediate surroundings).

Outdoors activities

Surroundings of the Jindřichovice Castle and fort directly encourage you for trips or hikes around, and we'd like to present you with our favourite tips for doing so:

Velhartice castle

Velhartice castle was founded between the 13th and 14th century as a home palace of the Budětice kin. It is one of the most beautiful castles of Southern Czechia, so it'd be a shame to keep it a secret from you. Since there are beautiful surroundings and the castle is only about 5 kilometres away, we'll be taking a walk there.

Srní Visitor Center

The Visitor Centre presents animals native to our surroundings, currently living and extinct both. The biggest attraction of it is definitely the wolf's coop, 3 ha large, with an elevated pathway leading through it's very middle, in the height of about 4 - 5 meters with many observation points.

Catacombs of Klatovy

We can find a unique rarity in nearby Klatovy - crypts under the Jesuit church dedicated to the immaculate conception of the virgin Mary and St. Ignác, today known as the Catacombs of Klatovy. According to their builder's plans, they became a resting place for many members of the jesuit's order, aristocracy, army and citizens alike.

Rábí Castle

is the largest castle ruin in Czechia. It is a unique landmark of gothic architecture, standing over the Šumava's river Otava.
