Spend a night or a week at the Parkhotel Tosch during your travel in western Bohemia. This 3 star District of Klatovy hotel is located in the town of Kašperské Hory, approx. a 30 minute drive from Šumava National Park. The Parkhotel Tosch was originally a brewery constructed at the start of the 14th century. The brewery stayed in business until July of 1947.
