Deep in the forests of Česká Kanada – the Czech Republic's own wild corner that echoes the vastness of the Canadian wilderness – a craft brewery named after a legendary outlaw invites you to slow down completely. At Pivovar a Penzion Grasel in Český Rudolec, you ease into a warm beer bath enriched with peat extract and beer foam, work up a sweat in a Finnish sauna scented with essential oils, and sip unlimited Vladyka craft beer brewed on the same premises. Two hours, total silence, zero city noise. This is beer spa Česká Kanada – and there is nothing else quite like it in Bohemia.
Booking for beer spa procedures at Pivovar Grasel is handled directly with the venue – contact them to reserve your session. The price below is indicative, shown in CZK for reference only.
What to expect at beer spa Česká Kanada
Two hours in which you forget everything outside. The beer spa at Pivovar Grasel is not just a procedure – it is a full ritual in the middle of unspoiled nature, where each step takes you a little deeper into rest. From the first minute in the Finnish sauna to the last sip of Vladyka beer, you will feel the stress of everyday life simply fall away.
Finnish sauna with aromatherapy (15 min)
Your journey begins in the Finnish sauna, where essential oils scent the hot air and open your pores. Your body warms through, your muscles start to release – the ideal preparation for the beer bath that follows.
Beer bath with relaxing salt, beer foam & peat extract
You sink into a warm bath enriched with relaxing salt, rich beer foam, and natural peat extract. The peat – sourced from South Bohemian peatlands – is prized for its detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties. Combined with the brewing ingredients, it creates a blend that nurtures and regenerates your skin from within.
Unlimited Vladyka craft beer
Throughout your stay you can enjoy as much Vladyka craft beer as you like. Vladyka is brewed right here at Pivovar Grasel from local ingredients – its full-bodied flavour and gentle bitterness are the reward you have earned.
Wrap relaxation
After the bath you are wrapped in a warming cocoon, allowing the beneficial compounds to continue working. You rest, listen to the quiet of Česká Kanada, and let your body absorb everything the bath has given it.

Health benefits of a beer bath
A beer bath in Česká Kanada is not just a pleasant experience – it has real, documented health benefits. The unique combination of brewing ingredients and peat extract from South Bohemian peatlands works on the body in ways that even non-beer-drinkers will appreciate.
Boosts circulation
The warm bath combined with sauna heat activates the heart and drives blood flow throughout the body. Alternating heat and rest strengthens the blood vessels.
Strengthens immunity
B-group vitamins from brewer's yeast support the body's defences. The peat extract adds minerals and trace elements absorbed through the skin.
Detoxifies skin
Peat from South Bohemian wetlands has exceptional detoxifying properties – it draws impurities from the pores and leaves skin smooth and radiant.
Melts away stress
Hops are a natural sedative – they calm the nervous system and ease you into deep rest. Surrounded by the quiet of Česká Kanada, this effect is even more pronounced.
Rejuvenates skin
Beer foam and relaxing salt nourish the skin deeply. Enzymes and minerals from the beer support cellular renewal and leave your complexion visibly refreshed.
Relieves joint pain
Peat extracts have been used in balneology for centuries to ease rheumatic and joint complaints. Combined with the warmth of the sauna, the relief is noticeable.

Why you will love it
The silence was the first thing that got us – we came from the city and it was absolute quiet. The sauna smelled of eucalyptus, the peat bath was wonderfully unusual, and the Vladyka beer we sipped on the terrace afterwards was just perfect. We want to go back.
Got the voucher as a birthday gift and did not expect much. But the peat extract in the bath really does something – my skin felt completely different the next day. And Vladyka is an excellent beer, full-bodied and just the right amount of bitter. Česká Kanada is a beautiful part of the world.
We visit Česká Kanada regularly and Pivovar Grasel is always a favourite stop. Tried the beer spa for the first time this trip and we are hooked – two hours of relaxation, great craft beer, and then a walk around the ponds. Could not ask for a better afternoon.
Pivovar Grasel and the legend behind the beer spa
Pivovar Grasel in Český Rudolec takes its name from Johann Georg Grasel (1790–1818) – a legendary outlaw who once roamed the forests on the Bohemian-Moravian-Austrian borderlands. Grasel was a terror to the nobility but earned a reputation among ordinary people as a kind of Czech Robin Hood. His story lives on in local folklore, and his name has become a symbol of the defiant spirit of Česká Kanada.
The brewery picked up that tradition and brews the craft beer Vladyka, which reflects the character of this region – honest, full-bodied, and uncompromising. The beer spa grew naturally from the brewery's craft, adding a wellness dimension to the brewing heritage. The combination of local beer, South Bohemian peat, and a Finnish sauna creates an experience that is uniquely rooted in both the nature and history of this place.
Today Pivovar a Penzion Grasel is a beloved destination for lovers of craft beer, unspoiled nature, and original experiences. Beer spa Česká Kanada has become one of the jewels of the region – a place where tradition meets relaxation.
Česká Kanada & around
Česká Kanada is an area in southern Bohemia whose pristine nature – deep forests, silent ponds, and a largely unspoiled landscape – reminded early travellers of the wild Canadian countryside, hence the name. It is one of the least populated and most peaceful corners of the Czech Republic, a haven for hikers, cyclists, and anyone seeking an escape from the everyday. Český Rudolec sits right at the heart of this exceptional region.
What to see and do
- Hrad Landštejn – a massive Romanesque-Gothic ruin, one of the oldest stone castles in Bohemia, just 15 km from Český Rudolec
- Slavonice – a Renaissance gem with unique sgraffito facades, underground passages and an atmosphere that transports you centuries back (20 km)
- Jindřichův Hradec – the third-largest castle complex in the Czech Republic, historic centre with a narrow-gauge railway (35 km)
- Přírodní park Česká Kanada – dozens of kilometres of hiking and cycling trails through forested landscape filled with ponds and rock formations
- Kunžak and the surrounding ponds – swimming, fishing, and walks around the picturesque South Bohemian ponds
- Telč – a UNESCO-listed town with a square lined by Renaissance and Baroque houses (30 km)
Getting to Český Rudolec
Český Rudolec lies 150 km south-east of Prague – about 2 hours by car via the D1 motorway and through Jihlava. From Brno it is approximately 120 km (under 2 hours). From Jindřichův Hradec the drive takes about 30 minutes. Bus connections exist, but a car is the most practical way to explore Česká Kanada.
