Entertainment
This year's theme doesn't even need to be introduced. All of us know the adventures of Asterix and Obelix, animated characters created by Albert Uderzo. Many comic books was drawn and many animated and live-action movies was made. We've read and sat through all of them to bring you the most authentic experience, starting with fun games and competitions and not ending at home-made costumes. You may looks forward to meet Asterix, Obelix, Majestatix, Trubadix, Roman Legionnaires and even mighty Caesar himself.
Gaul's Troubles (non-suiter game)
Getafix was visited by his old friend, druid Feroxis, one day. He came smiling, bearing new knowledge about potions and surprisingly big luggage full of plenty weird ingredients. Noone could've known that his unsuspicious visit, combined with a second of inattentiveness, will bring the whole Armorica, and maybe even the whole world, to the brink of doom.
Normally, Vitalstatistix would probably just shake his head, eat some ham and with his typical calm sent Asterix and Obelix to deal with the threat. But it is not possible this time. And time is running out fast. It is necessary that everyone, having both arms, both legs, and at least a bit of wisdom (not necessary, but good to have) to step in right now. The village is calling for help. Feroxis has a lot of explaining to do. Time is running out. By Toutatis, what are you waiting for! Join our non-suiter game and earn the fame and recognition of the whole village!
Caesar's Games (fursuiter game)
Panem et Circenses - Bread and Games. Caesar has his common folks in mind and their goodwill is important to him. Caesar, in his unique greatness, will hold special Caesar's Games, which will be greatly honored (classical version). All inhabitants of great Roman Empire are hereby invited, including recently barbaric, now freshly joined and civilized provinces of Gaul and Britanny, which have been liberated by Caesar himself. Don't hesitate to come, a spectacle like this is nowhere else to be ever seen!
The House of the Darkened Mind (non-suiter game)
Roman's bureaucracy is famous worldwide, yet noone has passed the official headquarters of the curator of the province, aka the House of the Darkened Mind. A simple official formality is not so simple as it might seem here. Can you make sense of the official shortcuts, crazy bureaucracy, and Roman regulations, that rarely make sense? Join our game and fight for your permit A38!

Gustation historical feast with commentation
For this year, we have again prepared for you, in cooperation with SHG Royal Mercenaries, gustation slice through food of inhabitants of Gaul, Roman and Egyptian worlds, as Alberto Uderzo created them, inspired by historical facts. Have you ever dreamed of tasting the delicacies from comic books or movies? Royal Mercenaries will give you this opportunity in four courses. Be sure not to hesitate, as you won't find anything like this anywhere else, and the number of participants is limited!
Asterix's Menu is as follows:
- Lost Lentil of the Pyramid Builder - newly found, will feed a pyramid builder for four hours of work. Boar included, if the Galley arrives on time.
- A Proper Meal of a Legionary - spinach, bacon and cheese. Done in a minute, gives enough energy to conquer a whole Britanny and almost all of Gaul.
- Boar with Mint Sauce - contents: Boar and Mint Sauce. Warm beer, as it should be, available on request.
- Queen Cleopatra's Dessert - surely does not contain arsenic nor cyanide. Can contain traces of hooves and nuts. Recommended by 10 out of 10 tasters!

Archery
Archery was a popular hunting sport in past times, often the only way of getting meat. Even though these times have mostly passed (and we definitely advise against shooting at the peacocks), many of us are still interested in this beautiful practice - which you can now try at Furrstein! You will be given a brief introduction to the basics of archery by Sofa, which will also lend you her bows (under the assistance of our helpers, to ensure safety of both of you and your immediate surroundings).

Outdoors activities
Surroundings of the Jindřichovice Castle and fort directly encourage you for trips or hikes around, and we'd like to present you with our favourite tips for doing so:
Velhartice castle
Velhartice castle was founded between the 13th and 14th century as a home palace of the Budětice kin. It is one of the most beautiful castles of Southern Czechia, so it'd be a shame to keep it a secret from you. Since there are beautiful surroundings and the castle is only about 5 kilometres away, we'll be taking a walk there.

Srní Visitor Center
The Visitor Centre presents animals native to our surroundings, currently living and extinct both. The biggest attraction of it is definitely the wolf's coop, 3 ha large, with an elevated pathway leading through it's very middle, in the height of about 4 - 5 meters with many observation points.

Catacombs of Klatovy
We can find a unique rarity in nearby Klatovy - crypts under the Jesuit church dedicated to the immaculate conception of the virgin Mary and St. Ignác, today known as the Catacombs of Klatovy. According to their builder's plans, they became a resting place for many members of the jesuit's order, aristocracy, army and citizens alike.

Rábí Castle
