Beer is around half cheaper in the Czech Republic. So my tip is to quench your thirst across the border 😉

Unfortunately, there's barely a clear view of the fenced-in area anymore – the surrounding trees block the view. A few buildings above the pond are still visible, but there's no sign of any habitable barrels.
