About this place
Perched at 1,045 metres above sea level at the Pomezní Boudy border pass, Pivovar Trautenberk is one of the highest craft breweries in Central Europe. Built within the sensitively renovated historic Tippeltova bouda, it marries traditional Sudeten mountain architecture with sleek, contemporary timber-and-glass design. The beers are unpasteurised and unfiltered, brewed with pristine mountain spring water and top-tier ingredients. The lineup ranges from crisp bohemian lagers to aromatic, modern pale ales and stouts. The restaurant provides hearty, elevated mountain cuisine designed to recharge hikers, cyclists, and cross-country skiers traversing the border ridges between Poland and the Czech Republic.
Order the tasting paddle to sample four different drafts on tap, and check out the fridge section for limited seasonal bottleneck brews to take home.
