The 18-hole course is located in the heart of Jistebnickávrchovina natural park, which boastsgreat natural and aesthetic values.
The scattered relics of the stone burden which, according to a legend, a punished demon left there lend the course its typical character.
The historical value of the settlement and the landscape architecture is complementedby original houses as well as architect Stanislav Fiala’s contemporary buildings within the complex. The main building is the club room of Čertovobřemenoclub, awarded, apart from other prizes, by the Mies van RoheAward (EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture).
“Čertovo břemeno (Demon’s Burden) is actually a nearby rock, and there is, of course, a legend explaining its origins. It says that a demon was supposed to perform some task, or was serving some punishment, and had to bring a sack of stones before the cock would crow in order to avoid some kind of a curse.Of course, the cock crew before the demon arrived. So, he angrily threw them down here on the spot, and this is why the rock is called Demon’s Burden. Actually, the entire story is present here with all the stones, because it’s all around here, wherever you dig, it’s all one beautiful big rock.”
