Šikland, also Šiklův mlýn, is the largest outdoor entertainment complex in the Czech Republic. It is located near the small village of Zvole near the town of Bystřice nad Pernštejnem and Nové Město na Moravě in the Bobrůvka river valley. This area is part of the Žďár Hills in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. The complex offers visitors the beauty of its natural setting, quality accommodation and entertainment, It positions itself as a "paradise for holidays with children" and as a weekend destination. ==History== The complex calls itself Šikland in its Czech-language promotional material, a name derived from the name of its founder Libor Šikl (). The first reference to this place appeared in 1988. In this time Libor Šikl moved into a house which he inherited from his grandmother. The first country-style was held here a year later and was attended by approximately 50 people. Then Libor Šikl bought the ruins of an old mill and asked for restitution of land that belonged to his parents. A "town" with a Gold Rush and Wild West theme - which they called by the pseudo-English term "Western City" for its Czech audience - was built the next year.〔http://www.novinky.cz/cestovani/175488-sikluv-mlyn-na-vysocine-predstavuje-kouzlo-kovbojskeho-zivota.html〕 The third Western event lasted the whole week which included Indians. The first newspapers were printed for this occasion and also "dollars" that were used for payment in the "Western City". Since then the "Western City" continued to expand until 1994 when it was completed.〔 The first rodeo in the Czech Republic was held here in 1998, followed by a night show and stunt riding show on horses. In 2001, the town was expanded for a Mexico-themed section and a hotel was built near the complex.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Šikland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
