Tips for a weekend in Prague: take part in the Tolkieniad, the Three Kings Watch Okoř or the Bird March
Tolkieniáda
On January 3, 130 years have passed since the birth of the English writer JRR Tolkien. And you can discover a part of its Middle-earth in Jarov. KC Vozovna has prepared an outdoor one encryption game for children from 7 years. Tolkien loved trees, which is reflected in his work. In The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit we find, for example, the two Valinor trees Laurelin and Telperion, the White Tree of Gondor or the Celebration Tree. You can follow in the footsteps of seven such trees from Tolkien’s stories at any time between 1 pm and 4 pm, when the last start is. You will find deciphering ciphers hidden in runes, literary examples from his work and a small reward in the goal. Dress well, the whole game takes place outside.
