Seasonal recommendations
In the spring bloom in the park near the mansion in Hodkovce onion and sprouting trees. Soft sunlight allows you to photograph the details of the facade without sharp shadows. Since the terrain is soaked after melting snow and spring rains, solid waterproof footwear and layered clothing, including windshield, are recommended.
In summer the area will cover the thick greenery of old trees, which provides shade. For a walk through the park is suitable easy shoes, head cover and plenty of drinking water. We recommend to schedule the visit for the early morning when the air is fresh and the temperatures are lower.
On the yen, leaves in the park turn into yellow, orange and red shades. The low autumn sun changes the mansion. As the mornings become cold and hazy and the grass moist, a warm waterproof jacket, firm shoes, and umbrella are recommended. The best light for a walk and photography reigns around noon.
In winter, bare branches of trees will reveal views of the architectural lines of the manor house, especially if the landscape is snowed. Winter shoes with non-slip soles, a warm cap, gloves, and a winter coat are needed to move on frozen trails. Take a walk around noon while daylight is available.
