Fairytale House (Pohádkový domek)
A classic "Roadside Attraction" is the Fairytale House (Pohádkový domek) on a narrow, winding road in Hrubá Skála in Bohemian Paradise.
In Bohemian Paradise near Hrubá Skála, the Fairytale House (Pohádkový domek) stands as a quirky roadside attraction. A faded Styrofoam Golem guards the blue-and-white cottage, once glowing and roaring but now silent. Below, a yellow Moskvitch painted like a Czechoslovak Police car sits with comic figures inside, seemingly on radar duty but clearly drunk. Odd objects and figures peek from the windows, adding to the playful strangeness. Though some effects no longer work, the site still charms with its humor and eccentricity. This curious stop offers a glimpse of Czech creativity and roadside whimsy.

Note
A classic "Roadside Attraction" is the Fairytale House (Pohádkový domek) on a narrow, winding road in Hrubá Skála in Bohemian Paradise.
By the roadside stands an old yellow Moskvitch (russian car brand) with a few quirky characters at the wheel, who are probably pretending to conduct radar checks but are actually drunk.
The colors and the designation VB indicate a vehicle of the Czechoslovak Police (Veřejná bezpečnost).
Above, there is a blue-and-white painted cottage with a lifeless Styrofoam Golem as a guard. Lifeless because the once-bright red eyes are gone, and no sound effects are played anymore.
In front of the house and in the windows, there are a few quirky objects and figures, and a newspaper article hanging in the window mentions that Orlando Bloom is exploring Bohemian Paradise on a Czech bike when he's not filming movies in Prague.
