Trutnov

Go Back

Tucked into the foothills of the Krkonoše Mountains, Trutnov combines alpine charm with a progressive cultural scene, making it one of North East Bohemia’s most spirited and surprising event destinations. Known as the “Czech Woodstock” for its legendary open-air music festival roots, Trutnov is ideal for music events, outdoor retreats, alternative arts programs, and nature-inspired conferences.

The town centre is framed by a historic market square, complete with colourful façades, arcaded walkways, and a dragon-themed fountain that celebrates local legend. This setting provides an atmospheric venue for street festivals, artisan fairs, historical parades, and civic ceremonies. The nearby Trutnov Castle, now an art gallery and performance space, supports visual arts residencies, exhibitions, and chamber concerts in a modern yet intimate setting.

Nature is Trutnov’s co-host. The town serves as a gateway to the Krkonoše National Park, offering planners easy access to hiking, skiing, mountain biking, and nature education programming. Retreats can integrate forest bathing, outdoor yoga, or guided environmental workshops, giving guests a restorative and energizing experience anchored in local ecology.

Trutnov’s Uffo Cultural Centre stands out for its bold architecture and contemporary programming. This flexible venue hosts theatre, film, interdisciplinary festivals, and creative forums, making it one of the most forward-thinking cultural hubs in the region. The town also regularly hosts alternative music and arts festivals, from folk to metal to experimental, welcoming artists and fans from across Central Europe.

With nearby ski resorts like Pec pod Sněžkou and scenic viewpoints like Sněžka, the highest peak in the Czech Republic, Trutnov offers stunning add-ons for executive retreats, wellness camps, or destination celebrations. Quaint guesthouses, wellness hotels, and eco-lodges support multi-day programming with a focus on simplicity and nature.

Trutnov is best suited for youth and music festivals, creative industry summits, alpine retreats, and alternative culture residencies. It’s a town with both soul and edge, where tradition and rebellion share the stage—and where the mountains lend every event a sense of adventure.
