Go ice skating on a pond
Ten minutes left, whistle blows, ten minutes right, whistle blows... and so on and so on. Don't you want to show the kids ice skating in a much cooler way? Head to the cool village pond.
MUNICIPAL POND HRUŠKY
Everybody knows the rink with fluorescent lights and regular snowmobile breaks, but... a pond is a pond! Around Brno, you will find several beautiful ones. We recommend the one in the village with the poetic name Hrušky (Pears). Pack a thermos of hot tea or hot chocolate and go. It will be fun! Plus, you'll be in the fresh air right under the sky. But there are limits - You need a good frost.
When is it safe to go ice skating on natural ice? The ice should be at least 20 centimetres thick. That's enough ice to support a big man or even a car. (Firefighters recommend ice at least 25 centimetres thick.) How do you know if the ice is thick enough? Drill a test borehole in several places in the pond to be sure. In addition, it should have been freezing for at least 5 days straight (at least -5°C). And of course, never drill around areas with visible cracks, with the defroster or inflow to the pond and around the sluice gates.
