Plantings and wetland on the U Hrušků farm

In 2000, when the Hruškas purchased an old log cabin in Stvolny near Manětín, the landscape began to change. The Hruškas have divided large fields into smaller ones, are planting alleys of old varieties of fruit trees, and are restoring the original orchards. They process the products from them in their own Stvolenská Moštárna fruit press facility. They have also built three pools and a wetland out of an old, unmaintained pond.
