Archaeological sites and historical periods

A former manor park

Another green feature is the former manor park in Psary. Such parks are among the more significant designed green spaces in the municipality of Drobin.

Psary thus brings together different forms of landscape and greenery.

Which themes suit your choice of destination?

To help you decide, you can first consider whether you are more interested in archaeological site types and the history of settlement, or whether forest and water shape your idea of a suitable place to stay. The former manor park adds a historical green-space element to this choice. Psary can therefore be viewed through several clearly distinct themes: as a place with archaeological and settlement-history connections, as well as forest, water, and park landscapes. These themes provide a factual basis for comparing the area with your interests and then searching for a suitable hotel.
