Welcome at the Ecomuseum Ruze
Traditional Crafts and Unique Bohemian Landscape
The Ecomuseum Ruze envisions drawing
attention to our region in eastern South Bohemia by creating a “museum without walls”. Nature,
culture, and history are interpreted on site, involving local communities
and using stories, sites, trails, monuments, and other symbols. The key is
presenting the regional heritage as a living, dynamic process.
The core of the Ecomuseum is a network of historical workshops and working places. Other sites of high natural or cultural heritage value in the
landscape will be highlighted as well.
The Peasant and Emigration Museum Kojakovice is the main information center for the Ecomuseum Ruze. The Historic Novohradska Forge in Nove Hrady is a second key information and education center.
The Kojakovice Museum you can find here, the Novohradska Forge on the road between the Old Castle and the town square in Nove Hrady
