Adult Reconditioning Stay 2026

Based on a survey among participants of last year's adult hemophilia stay, we are returning to the wellness Hotel Centrál in Klatovy. This time we will meet from May 8 to 15, 2026.

Adult Rehabilitation Retreat in a New Setting

After four years spent at Hotel Bystré, we have decided on a change of scenery. This time, from 9 to 16 May 2025, we will head to western Bohemia, to the wellness [Hotel Centrál in Klatovy](<>).

Adult recreation 2023

From 13th to 19th May in Bystré near Polička another convalescent stay of adult haemophiliacs took place.

For the third time we will visit Hotel Bystré in the village of the same name, near Polička.

Adult Rehabilitation Retreat Bystré 2022 — Report from the Stay

For the second time, thanks to the Czech Hemophilia Society and under the leadership of Michal Skořepa, the traditional adult rehabilitation retreat was successfully organised at Hotel Bystré in the Vysočina region (near Polička), held from 20 to 27 May 2022.

Adult Rehabilitation Retreat 2022

We invite you to the traditional rehabilitation retreat for adult haemophilia patients, which this year will once again take place in the village of Bystrá near Polička, from 20 to 27 May 2022.

Adult Rehabilitation Retreat — This Time in the Vysočina Region

As we hinted in the article recapping the last retreat, we are once again changing the location. This time not for capacity reasons, but due to insufficient service and failure to meet conditions on the part of the operator. We did not have many options and opted for Hotel Bystré in the Vysočina region, not far from Polička. Hopefully, this time we have chosen correctly. The communication so far and a visit to the hotel suggest we have. We will once again have the entire hotel at our disposal, with 20 rooms and a total capacity of approximately 50 people. We will have free access to a saltwater pool, and a whirlpool, sauna, fitness room, and common room will also be available. Full board will be provided as before. And rehabilitation will of course not be missing either.

Autumn Rehabilitation Retreat for Adults Took Place in the Třeboň Region

Due to spring government restrictions, we were forced to postpone the rehabilitation retreat for adult hemophilia patients to the turn of summer and autumn. Just before departure, we were once again worried whether everything would take place and under what conditions. In the end, however, almost everything worked out. The change of date and health complications of some registrants meant we did not fill the facility's capacity and did not beat last year's record in the number of participants. Even so, 40 people is a very respectable number. Nearly half were hemophilia or Von Willebrand patients. And if we include carriers in the count of hemophilia patients, we exceeded the halfway mark.

Adult Rehabilitation Retreat in the Třeboň Area

Next year we are once again changing the location of the adult rehabilitation retreat. We really liked Penzion Rokytenka, but once more the capacity was insufficient and we had to turn some applicants away. This time we will head to the Třeboň area and from 19 to 26 September 2020 we will visit Hotel Nežárka (https://www.hotel-nezarka.cz/). The hotel has its own swimming pool, which will again be reserved exclusively for us, and offers 20 rooms. That is 3 more than this year. We believe we will be able to accommodate all those interested in the retreat.

Adult Rehabilitation Retreat in Rokytnice, Orlické Hory

During the week from 18 to 25 May, another rehabilitation retreat for adult haemophilia patients took place. At this new venue too, we ran into capacity limitations and registration for the retreat had to be closed as early as February. For those who attended, however, Penzion Rokytenka offered a pleasant setting and a beautiful environment not only within the property grounds but also in the surrounding area. At this point, we are deciding whether to return here next year or take advantage of another option with a higher capacity. And how did we spend our week in Rokytnice? The contribution from Radim, who participated in the retreat for the first time, says it all. We thank him for his lines below and look forward to further gatherings together. On behalf of the organisers, Michal Skořepa.

Adult Rehabilitation Retreat 2019 in a New Setting

After three years at Penzion Ohrada, we have decided on a change. This time we will head to the Orlické Hory mountains, specifically to Hotel Rokytenka in Rokytnice v Orlických Horách. Once again, it is a property in a beautiful setting that will be reserved exclusively for us. A swimming pool, whirlpool, sauna, games room, common room, restaurant lounge, outdoor area including seating and a children's playground will all be available. More information about the property can be found at www.rokytenka.cz. The hotel is just a short walk to the town square of this small town of two thousand inhabitants. There are many interesting places nearby for excursions.

The Last Time in Vísky?

During the week of 11–19 May, another edition of the rehabilitation retreat for adult hemophilia patients took place. Most likely for the last time in a while at the Ohrada guesthouse in Vísky near Letovice. While the guesthouse meets practically all our requirements for holding this retreat, the general consensus is that it is time for a change. We are currently searching intensively for a suitable location and for now it looks like next year we will head to the Orlické hory mountains. Jarek Trefil shared his impressions from the retreat. We thank Jarek and look forward to further gatherings with everyone. On behalf of the organisers, Michal Skořepa.

Adult Rehabilitation Retreat in Vísky

This year's edition was marked by newcomers. There were eight of them, and another three participants returned to the retreat after many years. The retreat was record-breaking not only in this regard, but also in terms of the total number of participants. After a year, we once again gathered at Penzion Ohrada in Vísky near Letovice, where we had full facilities at our disposal. Accommodation with meals, a common room, rehabilitation rooms, a whirlpool, a swimming pool, and last but not least a conference hall with projection where we watched the Ice Hockey World Championship. The result of our hockey players was perhaps the only negative of the entire retreat. Its programme hardly needs a lengthy description any more. Rehabilitation and hydrotherapy were complemented by horse riding, excursions, a table tennis tournament, barbecues, and campfire cooking. More in the photo documentation.

A Successful Change

The regular May rehabilitation retreat is already behind us for this year. As we announced in advance, this time it was in a different setting than in previous years. Not only did we move from Lednice after five years, but for the first time in the history of these stays we also moved away from a spa town. The Ohrada guesthouse in Vísky u Letovic was to replace it. It offers everything we need for our purposes, including meeting rooms, rehabilitation facilities, a swimming pool, and whirlpools. Including accommodation all under one roof. Comfort thus increased not only for the organizers, who did not have to prepare breakfast every morning, but also for participants, as they no longer had to walk anywhere. We especially appreciated this on days when the weather was not on our side.

Registration Is Still Open for the Reconditioning Stay for Adult Haemophilia Patients...

As you have surely noticed in the events plan, this year brings a change of location for the reconditioning stay for adult haemophilia patients. After five years in Lednice, we decided to look for a new location, even though we were very satisfied with the current one. The change involves not only the choice of town but also the fact that for the first time we will not be in a spa town.

Renewed Interest

After a period of decline, a turnaround has come -- interest in the adult rehabilitation retreat has grown. Sixteen people interested in rehabilitation gathered in Lednice in mid-May, filling the guesthouse to full capacity. The programme remained the same as in previous years, but it did bring certain innovations. Particularly in the quantity and the associated quality of the rehabilitation itself. There is a difference whether two or four physiotherapists attend to the participants. That is exactly what happened, as two additional therapists joined the two traditional rehabilitation specialists. They normally work at the Vráž spa, which has maintained close contact with the organisation for several years now, so we consider them highly qualified experts.

Lednice Again Next Year

As you already know, the next edition of the adult reconditioning program will also take place in Lednice. The dates are now confirmed as 15 to 23 May. There have been no changes in other organizational matters either. For those interested, we have prepared accommodation, breakfasts and lunches, individual rehabilitation (for hemophilia patients only), therapeutic baths, and a pool.

Another Lednice Retreat Behind Us

Another traditional rehabilitation retreat for adults with physiotherapy, procedures, group discussions and evenings, barbecues — simply the right kind of relaxation that brings us together. Being in the Lednice-Valtice area, we also visited a wine cellar. With some sadness, we must note the repeated decline in the number of participants and the lack of interest from physiotherapists. We had been flagging the need for cooperation with new physiotherapists for a long time, but we were unable to attract anyone new. All the more thanks go to Alena and Naďa for joining us once again.

Another Gathering in Lednice

The rehabilitation stay for adults in Lednice will take place at practically the same time as in previous years, specifically from 16 to 24 May. You can register now; we will announce the registration deadline once capacity is reached.

Memories of Lednice

With some delay, for which we apologise, we bring information about this year's rehabilitation stay for adult haemophilia patients. The stay took place from 17 to 25 May with 19 participants. Compared to previous years, this represented a significant decrease in the number of attendees. Health and personal issues unfortunately prevented several regulars from attending. However, new faces appeared again and blended very well into the established group.

Come to Lednice

This year's rehabilitation retreat for adult hemophilia patients will again take place in Lednice, at practically the same time as last year, from 17 to 25 May. Due to the high interest in the stay in previous years, we ask you to register as soon as possible. We apologize in advance if we are unable to accommodate all applicants, as the facility capacity is 30 persons.

Week-Long Reconditioning Stay in Lednice

Last week saw another edition of the reconditioning stay for adults. You can learn more about it from the contribution below. The organisers can confirm that the event was once again a success, and we thank the participants and especially the physiotherapists who took care of them. We have already reserved a date for 2013 -- 17 to 25 May. Those interested can therefore plan their holiday well in advance. On behalf of the organisers, Michal Skorepa looks forward to the next edition.

Lednice 2012

This year again, we invite you to the rehabilitation stay for adult haemophilia patients in Lednice. The stay will take place from 18 to 26 May. Based on the experience of high demand last year, we ask you to register as soon as possible.
