Seasonal recommendations
Jaro In spring, the Pechy manor mansion is proboused to life after winter sleep. The park blooms with the first spring blooms - tulles, convales and creves, creating a soft, green and white palette that blossoms in the morning sunlight. The atmosphere is clean, the air smells like wet ground and flowering trees, and the entire site emits silent energy, as if after the winter fall, nature wanted to fully manifest itself. It is best to visit the manor house in April when the last winter frosts change, but the crowds are not growing any longer. Clothes in warm but not thick layers are recommended - the day may be pleasant, but the evening may cool down. Walk through the park slowly to enjoy the blooming alleys and mysterious shelters, which in spring are excited after the winter run.
Leto The Pechy manor house is the center of summer activity, but also this season you will find shelter from the direct sun and crowds. The park is turned into a green oasis, where it intersects under the mighty lip and ash that form the cool seams on the lawns. The atmosphere is lively - the sun's rays pass through the leaf crown, and the water from the manor pond is nibbled in the distance. It is best to accept early in the morning when the park is still quiet, or in late afternoons when the crowds are scattered. Dress up in slender, airy clothing, but don't forget the sun denim and sunscreen. Walk through the main alley that leads to the manor house and watch the sun shine in the park's water areas in the summer hours.
Podzim The Péchy manor house is magical - the park is barbed in yellow red and brown colors, which are reflected in morning and evening sun rays. The leaves are usually no longer moved, but their outside creates a fine, golden floor under their feet. The atmosphere is quiet, as if time had stopped - only the sound of the wind in the treetops and the whistling of the leaves under the bots disrupts the silent beauty. It is best to visit the manor house in September when it is still warm, but the crowds are not growing. Dress in warmer, but not thick layers - the day may be pleasant, but the evening cools. Walk through the main alley and see how the sun shines in the changed colors of the park in the winter hours, and look for mysterious shelters that are looming after the summer downturn this season.
Winter The Pechy manor house in winter turns into a winter sight attraction surrounded by a snowtop and a frozen pond. The park becomes a quiet, magical place where the sun shines off in the white landscape and creates a dance game of sine. The atmosphere is as if time had stopped - only the gusting of the wind in the treetops and the whistling of the sun beneath the bots disrupts the silent beauty. It is best to visit the manor house in December, when the park is still decorated with the first snowflakes, but the crowds are still not growing. Dress in warm clothes, but don't forget the gloves and the hat. Walk through the main alley and observe how the sun shines in the white landscape in the winter hours, and search for mysterious shelters that are thrilling this season after the winter depression. The manor house is open at this time only in certain hours, so check out the current weather conditions before visiting.
