Brejlov
Brejlov is the former mill on the bank of the Sázava river in the beautiful countryside nearby Prague.
Activities
The hotel will provide us with everything we need for the conference, including the delicious food and drinks.
Brejlov is also a perfect place for outdoor activities. Either you like walking or cycling, you will enjoy it. Easy canoeing for one or more days in the Sázava river is also possible. There is the boat and bicycle rental service (prices are little higher now, check translation from Czech by Google for the actual ones) in Týnec nad Sázavou and number of canoeing camps alongside the river.
If it is still hot in September, we can refresh ourselves by swimming in the river, too.
Visits to Prague are easy, but it takes some time to get to the Prague's center and back. Public transport to the old center of Prague takes 90 minutes. Combining car and public transport in the inner Prague (more convenient) one way will take you 60 minutes.

From Prague to Týnec nad Sázavou
New bus and train timetables will be available here a week or two before the meeting.
Bus
You can take the Bus 339 from the metro station on Line C (Red Line) called Budějovická (extra ticket available on the bus, cca 30 CZK = 1.5 EUR). It takes 54 minute to get there. You will get off at the final station (don't worry, this is the bus station from the seventies, the buses are new and safe), notice the back of the train station building on the right:
Train
Much nicer and in Prague easier to find is taking a small local train from the Prague's Main Station (Praha, Hlavní nádraží) – route Praha–Čerčany. It takes 81 minutes to get to Týnec nad Sázavou, but you will have the unique opportunity to see the beautiful countryside. You will see this lovely train station if you take off the train in the right time:
Both bus and train travelers will see the stone tower of the local castle on the other bank of the Sázava river when they get off:
On Foot
Ideally suited for Arthur and other wanderers. You can reach Brejlov within few hours if you start from the border of Prague (Zbraslav – 31km, Davle – 19km). Just follow the red tourist road in the direction to Kamenný Přívoz, where you change to the green road to Březany (direction Netvořice). Take left to Brejlov. On the way you will copy the river basin of the Sázava river. Anytime to Kamenný Přívoz you can switch to the train (oh, you can't unless you wade, you are on the other river bank, you can switch in Kamenný Přívoz which – on the other hand – makes no sense, because you are only few kilometers away from Brejlov). Here is the the tourist map with the color tourist routes.
