Main conference hall

Marble hall - Poster sessionsExcursion
The excursion on Wednesday afternoon will be a guide tour to Chateau Mělník and Lobkowitz's winecellars. Archaeologists have discovered that grapevine have been cultivated in Mělník since the dawn of Czech
history in the 9th century. The production of wine and its trade became an important activity of the local people
in the Middle Ages. Below the Mělník Castle, there are three floors of extensive historical cellars with a size
exceeding 1,500 m2, the foundations of which were built by Charles IV. The wine-making history of the Houseof Lobkowicz dates back to 1798 when they brought 6,000 seeds of Burgundy grapevine from France. The
excursion will include guided tastings of Lobkowicz wines, which take place in the cellars of the castle. Youwill see here, among other things, original wooden barrels with beautiful carvings.

Conference dinner
The conference dinner is open to all registered participants, accompanying persons and sponsors. It will starton Wednesday at 18:30 and its organization and course will evolve depending on the current weather.

Leisure and relax
Opening hours of restaurant 11am - 10pm. The lobby bar is open daily until 11 p.m. The hotel wellness is openfrom Tuesday to Sunday (11:00 - 23:00). If you would like to use the castle's Wellness & Spa and other services
reservation is required 24 hours in advance.
Other options for accompanying persons:
Lobeč Brewery - not only beer lovers will appreciate a visit to the technical monument of the Steam Breweryin Lobč near Mšeno, which has a tradition of brewing beer in the Kokořín region for 500 years. In 2009, theMinistry of Culture declared this brewery a monument and since 2013 it has been part of the European Routeof Industrial Heritage (ERIH). The tour with tasting and a guide in Czech takes about 90 minutes.
Shooting range Byšice - the shooting range is located less than 2 km from the Liblice castle and offers thepossibility of shooting with a shotgun at asphalt targets (American trap, Double trap, Universal trap, Skeet) or
shooting from pellet guns up to a distance of 30 m.
Please contact the hotel reception for detailed information and reservation.

Jogging and walking
For lovers of jogging/walking, there are two trails (short and long) in the forest near the castle garden (entrance
right behind the castle pond), along the perimeter of the ‘Slatinná louka’ nature reserve (declared mainly
for the protection of rare species of plants). The terrain is very waterlogged, with numerous canals crossing it.
In the middle there is a vast marshy meadow with a few solitary trees, a valuable fragment of the original
Polabian calcareous marshes with the occurrence of a number of rare plant species, especially orchids. Enjoy
time in this place to calm your mind and sharpen your senses.

Nature reserve ‘Slatinná louka’

Check-out and departures
Standard check-out time at the Liblice Castle Hotel is 11 a.m. We ask all conference participants to check-out
during the last coffee break at the latest. The FLTPD XV agenda will end after the closing ceremony justbefore Thursday's lunch. Participants who have requested departure assistance via the online questionnaire(transfer to PRG airport or downtown Prague) please contact LOC staff desk for an update after lunch onWednesday before leaving for the excursion.
