A fun thing to do in October before the weather gets difficult is to go to the Gingerbread House in the little village of Ráby u Pardubic, approximately 118km east of Prague.  If you take the tour of the cottage to see beautiful gingerbread exhibitions and to watch bakers in period costumes show you how gingerbread is made, you will receive a tasty sample!  – Open daily except Mondays (this year please do go to the website as they recommend for you to reserve a spot online).
