On Sunday, August 23, Czechia can expect nearly cloudless skies and a pleasant temperature of around 20 degrees — perfect weather for outdoor walks and cultural outings. We've put together a selection of places worth visiting this weekend, ranging from engineering marvels to centuries-old festivals.

Nature and engineering wonders

Nature lovers should check out the Les Království dam on the Elbe, notable not just for its architecture but also for the surrounding forests and exhibition. Hiking fans will enjoy the educational Bílá Opava trail in the Jeseníky Mountains, complete with footbridges, waterfalls and a mountain stream, as well as the Soos nature reserve near Františkovy Lázně, where the path winds across the bed of a dried-up mineral lake.

In Dolní Morava, thrill-seekers can get their adrenaline fix on the Sky Bridge 721 — the longest suspension bridge of its kind in Czechia. Near Karlštejn, don't miss the "Czech Grand Canyon" — the Velká Amerika quarry, where dramatic natural scenery meets history and film legend. And for unusual outdoor art, head to the National Eavesdropping Monument near Lipnice nad Sázavou, where art installations are set right inside granite quarries.

Festivals and family fun

In Brno on Sunday, the Špilberk International Music Festival 2026 takes place — an evening of open-air music in the castle courtyard. Fans of traditional food and good cheer should head to Vizovice Trnkobraní 2026, famous for its plum dumpling-eating contest.

Families with children — and anyone curious about the cosmos — should visit the Prague Planetarium, Europe's first fully digital LED planetarium, offering breathtaking views of space. And for those drawn to railway history, a ride on the historic railcar on the "Zubačka" line in Kořenov is a must — a leisurely trip through the scenic Jizera Mountains that promises plenty of memorable moments.

Organizers recommend checking with the venues directly for up-to-date information, as dates, times, programs and ticket prices may change.
