Seasonal recommendations

Calvary in different years of the year flashes different experiences.

In the spring, nature on the monastic hills is waning. The leaves on the trees are fresh, the air fresh after winter sleep. Soft and diffuse light creates suitable conditions for photography without sharp shadows. The tourist wave hasn't started yet, so the surrounding area is quiet. It is advisable to wear layered clothing, comfortable and dry shoes when visiting. It is best to visit Calvary early in the morning when the surrounding area is quiet and privacy with nature can be enjoyed.

In summer, Calvary is the biggest bust. Intense sunlight highlights the details of architecture and surrounding landscapes. Nature is in full blossom, grass high, trees provide shade. When visiting, you need to protect yourself from the sun - getting enough fluids, wearing a hat and sunglasses. It is also appropriate to wear lightweight and airy clothes. It is best to arrive immediately after opening or late afternoon when the crowds are diluted and the light is less intense.

In the podzim Calvary offers beautiful color. The leaves on the trees are stained with gold, orange, and red pulp, contrasting with stone structures. A warmer light gives the environment a romantic cold. It is advisable to wear warmer clothes, including sweater, jackets and waterproof shoes. It is best to visit Calvary in the semiday hours when the warmest and light is bright enough.

In winter, Calvary is quiet and often covered with snow. Short and cold light creates a dramatic atmosphere. Wear the warmest clothing, including gloves, a scarf and shoes with a good heel. It is best to visit Calvary in half-day hours when the warmest and brightest light. The atmosphere is even calmer in Advent time.
