Levandule v kopci Farmstead
Levandule v kopci is a lavender farm located in the village Milíkov. It was created in 2014 as an initiative for the cultivation and processing of lavender in accordance with ecological principles. From the beginning, the farm focuses on sustainable management and direct contact with its products and customers.
On the farm they grow around 700 lavender plants in around 80 different cultivars. Such species diversity allows a varied variety of colours, smells and properties of individual varieties. All farming takes place in organic mode without any chemical treatment. The collection of lavender, plant care and cultivation fields are carried out only manually, without the use of mechanisation. This approach is more workable but also more environmentally friendly and plant quality.
Farmers process their lavender into fresh and dried flowers. In addition, fresh lavender retains a specific smell and use, which are particularly valuable in the florist, while the dried form allows longer storage and various domestic applications. In addition to the direct sale of flowers, the farm is engaged in further processing of lavender into products intended for final consumers.
The seasonal activities of the farm are also interesting. During the summer months it is meant to concentrate on the cultivation and collection itself. However, in the winter months it moves to designing gardens. The farm focuses specifically on smaller family gardens in this направí, where it contributes its knowledge of the range, layout and care of plants.
Levandule v kopci thus represents an example of a small, family-led farm that links a more traditional way of working with plants with knowledge and care for product quality and the environment. Its scope and focus rank it among rural agro-tourist subjects where visitors can meet with authentic traffic and gain knowledge about bioresponsible management of nature.

Welcome to Levandule v kopci!
You are standing in front of a picturesque place that has become a haven of fragrances, colors and tranquility - a farm where lavender is grown and processed since 2014, as perhaps nature would like. In front of you is a hilly terrain that gradually turns into a bright field of purple, blue and white flowers. Feel the delicate scent that comes from the wind - it's the smell of lavender, a plant that has found its home here. The farm is surrounded by a quiet rural atmosphere, typical of this part of the Karlovy Vary region, where nature and human care meet in harmony.
Let's go back a few years to 2014, when everything started here. Levandule v kopci was created as an eco-oriented initiative to show how plants can be grown and processed without chemical means, with respect for the environment. Its founders were more than just cultivation - it was a return to nature, to authentic fragrances and to manual labor, which gives every flower and every leaf its uniqueness. From the very beginning, lavender is not only grown here for beauty, but also for its healing and soothing effects, which we have known since ancient times.
Now pay attention to what you're seeing right now. In front of you, a field of approximately 700 lavender plants is spread, belonging to over 80 different cultivars. This means that you will find lavender not only classical, but also varieties that bloom in different colours - from light purple to almost white flowers. Each of them has its own fragrance which blends with the fragrance of the surrounding plants and thus creates a unique symphony of smells. Notice how the flowers move slightly in the wind - this is one of the reasons why lavender is so popular not only in cosmetics, but also in aromatherapy.
The architecture of this place is simple, yet highly functional. There are no monumental structures or complex structures - instead they are spacious spaces which are primarily used for the cultivation and processing of lavender. In front of you, there is probably a part of the farm where fresh and dried bouquets are dried and packed. Notice how carefully the flowers are arranged - everyone has their place, each is important. If you look around, you will also see areas where lavender is processed into other products such as essential oils or cosmetic products. Everything here is done with maximum care to maintain cleanliness and natural quality.
Levandule v kopci is not just a place where lavender is grown - it is also a place where people can learn how to work with it. Since the very foundation, advice for family gardens, planting proposals or advice on how to harvest and process lavender properly has been offered. The farm is visited not only by lovers of fragrant plants, but also by those who seek inspiration for their own garden or want to know the secret of this medicinal herb. Anyone who comes here leaves with a little more knowledge and certainty that lavender can not only be beautiful but useful.
And now it's time for something that makes this farm even more interesting. Do you know lavender is a plant that can calm the mind, improve the mood and even help sleep? The growers here are trying to preserve all its natural characteristics and therefore no chemical fertilisers or pesticides are used here. Everything happens manually, with respect for the environment. When you walk between the lavender lines, you can see how everything happens here in accordance with natural rhythms - the harvest takes place at a time when the flowers reach their peak, and the processing follows the plant's needs.
Before leaving, pay attention once again to what surrounds you. This farm is not only about lavender, but also about the calm that exists here. It is a place where you can relax from the hustle and bustle of the modern world and draw strength from the scent that has been with you since the first steps. If you are interested in learning more, you can ask for a tour or buy some of the products that are created here. Whether you choose fresh flowers, dried flowers or essential oil, you will take not only the product, but also the memory of this place where nature and human care meet in perfect harmony.

Seasonal recommendations
Spring During the spring, the hills above Milíkov are transformed into a blooming paradise where lavender has not yet fully blossomed, but the surrounding meadows and forests are dressed in green and purple shades. The sun is lighter here than it was in the summer, and the light scattered between the young trees creates fine shaded scenery. The air is fresh, but not too hot yet, and the smell of blooming herbs is mixed with the breath of moist soil. The specific thing is that at this time the area is quieter - tourists start returning with the arrival of warmer weather, so the visit is ideal for those looking for a room. It is recommended to arrive early in the morning when the fog above the hill is still dispersed and the light is the most beautiful. Clothes should be laminated - it may be cold in the morning, but after noon it will welcome. Light jackets, shoes with good grip (for perhaps muddy places) and sunglasses are suitable, as the reflection of light from wet grass can be strong.
Summer In the main summer season, the hills above Milíkov turn into a sea of purple lavender, which covers slopes as a living carpet. The heat and the sun create an intense scent that spreads around, and the air is saturated with honey tones of blooming plants. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon when the sun is not too hot and the crowds are not so dense yet. Avoid direct sun at noon - shadows under trees or near rock formations are a welcome relief. It is recommended light, breathable clothes made of natural fabrics, a hat with a wide edge, plenty of water and comfortable shoes because the terrain can be steep and stony. In the summer months the area is often sought after, so if you want to escape the crowds, go on less familiar paths or visit a memorial in the week off weekends.
Autumn Autumn brings to hills above Milíkov dramatic transformation - lavender gradually faded, but surrounding nature dresses up in fiery colors. Trees are colored red, yellow and orange, and their leaves form a colorful mosaic on the ground. The air is colder but still pleasant, and the smell of fallen leaves blends with the last aroma of herbs. Light is softer than summer, and long afternoon offers ideal conditions for photography. At this time the area may be quieter than in summer, but some paths may be less maintained. Warmer clothes - sweaters, jackets and pants are recommended because evenings are cold. The shoes should be firm as fallen leaves and wet soil increase the risk of sliding. The best time is the afternoon when the sun shines pleasantly, but before sunset, when temperatures start to decrease.
Winter In winter, the hills above Milíkov turn into a quiet, almost fairytale landscape. Lavender is mostly dry, but its stems and dry flowers create interesting contrasts with white snow or naked terrain. The air is clean and cold, and silence is almost absolute - snow dampens sounds and gives room for meditation. The light is short, but intense, and the sun, when it rises, illuminates the landscape with gold. At this time the monument is almost deserted, which allows quiet walks without crowds. It is recommended that warm but comfortable clothing - laminated sweaters, waterproof jacket, warm gloves and shoes with good grip, because the roads can be frozen or covered with ice. The opening times of the monuments are limited in winter, so check in advance whether the area is accessible at all. The best time is this afternoon, when the sun still shines long enough, but before dusk, when temperatures fall.
