                <description><![CDATA[The 56, or 'padesatsestka' or u Hlubka, as it is known locally, is sort of a bikers' pub, but is really just a fabulous local pub, with a great sense of commmunity, buzzing atmosphere, welcoming locals, top beer(s), good times. Immensely good times at weekends, helped by liberal opening hours ('whenever we like').  Beer garden furniture is made of chunky logs. Next to the pub is a cemetery with the graves of Russian military men who lost their lives in an air crash in the area.  It's on the main road from Ostrava to Hlucin (road number 56), just on the left as you enter Hlucin, just after the sharp turn after the petrol station.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Much maligned street with a large number and variety of bars, pubs, clubs, restaurants.  A few years ago it was trendy, now looked down upon as a bit commercialised, victim of its own success, betraying its indie roots.  Still, if you are after a few drinks and a good party atmosphere with everyone up for a good time, this is the place to go. On Friday and Saturday nights see the place heaving with people, many of them heaving.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Hlucin is a town of around 15,000 people with an artificial lake, Sterkovna (Sterkac in local parlance), which has waterskiiing, windsurfing, swimming, mini-golf, and of course a few bars. You can go fishing on one side of the lake, too.<br><br>Hlucin itself also has numerous excellent bars, including the legendary "56", as well as some pretty decent restaurants and a couple of very good boarding houses. It's where lots of people chill out at weekends and it's a good place to relax with a few beers.<br><br>If you're lucky, catch the footy team at Hlucin stadium near the railway station. There’s a good pub at the station, and a great pub, "Gol", at stadium. Then continue the pub crawl down the road and carry on. Very friendly people, nice little cinema, good food and a nice place to sunbathe. Well played all round.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Sounds dull and isn't. Enthusiastic guide shows you what it was like to work in the mines and you can go into the mineshaft to see the grim conditions and basic safety precautions miners were treated to. Loads of old equipment and good displays. The Landek Venus provides archeological interest. It's thirsty work looking around the place, and now there's a restaurant there, too.]]></description>
