Dear guests and friends! We are pleased to invite you to the eighth annual meeting "without barriers" in Český Krumlov. As usual we would like to bring you a number of activities leading you to discover your special piece of Krumlov, some particular place, an unusual view or a surprising touch. We have prepared special Castle and Baroque theatre tours and town tours for the wheelchair bound or for the blind assisted by a professional tour guide. You can also visit various museums and galleries with the assistance of trained aides. If you enjoy a taste of adventure, you can learn to know the old town from the boat on the Vltava River. There will also be a number of musical and other performances on the Square as well as useful activities. We trust that you will enjoy this day filled with joy, experience and friendly encounters.

The exhibition Africa - Wild At Heart is the third and so far the largest National Geographic exhibition in the Czech Republic. Around 150 large scale photographs present many faces of Africa: Africa wild, cruel and beautiful where there is hunting, killing but also life, celebration and enjoyment. The photographic part of the exhibition is complemented by unique artifacts from the African nature, a large aquarium with Malawi lake endemic fish, a permanent projection of attractive National Geographic films and an exhibition of Zimbabwean stone sculptures. The exhibition has been installed in the impressive Minorite Monastery and it opens a unique medieval space to its visitors which is normally not accessible including the chapel with the "Black Madonna" of Český Krumlov. The exhibition has been installed on natural materials, in an effective contrast to the Gothic space. Together with a specially composed emotive music it creates a truly unique and deep experience. Free entry for registered participants of Handicap Day.

There are several other parking spots in the town reserved for the handicapped however this does not mean free parking. Parking cards issued to event participants are not universally valid for all parking lots and reserved parking spots but only for the above mentioned central parking lots with automated operation.
We recommend to all participants in the event to register as soon as possible and reserve their places for an event or tour of their choice and free parking. The capacity for some events is limited and therefore we can only guarantee a certain number of places. You can either use our on-line reservation form, or e-mail us at: handicap@ckrumlov.cz. If using the on-line form, please state in the notes section the following as additional information: type of handicap, no. of handicapped participants, no. of escorts, no. and registration numbers of the vehicles and other possible requests.

If you wish to help us as a volunteer assistant, please let us know at handicap@ckrumlov.cz. Our volunteers help as personal assistants (guides for the visually impaired, wheelchair assistance, personal escort etc.), servicing the stair climbers, giving out information about the event and about the town, preparing and cleaning up the various stations, helping with getting the handicapped from and into cars, rafts etc. It is a voluntary and therefore unpaid help. We can offer food for our assistants (lunch) and accommodation when required. As the total number of assistants required is limited, we reserve the rights to refuse some requests without a reason. The selected assistants will be contacted and informed using the contact details provided.
The event organizers have neither special accommodation possibilities at their disposal nor financial means available to cover the accommodation costs. We can offer you standard accommodation options and we trust you will be able to make your choice.
