You can also try out your own skills in the Rautis creative workshop.
During the excursion, you can observe the entire production process, from the manual blowing of glass beads, silver plating and painting to the actual assembly of the decoration.

In the family business Rautis you will find a unique handicraft, in which glass decorations are blown and Christmas decorations are made, which has been in the tradition of Poniklá since 1902.

Groups over 15 people

Due to limited space, it is necessary to book an excursion for larger groups in advance. Please reserve by email or telephone using the contacts listed below or through our reservation system (indicate in the note whether you would also like to put together and visit the Krkonoše Handicraft Museum).
Since some of the workplaces we go through with the excursion are very small, we split groups of over 20 people in half.
One group goes on an excursion and the other usually uses our creative workshop and tries to install an asterisk. After the return of the first half of the excursion, the groups take turns.

The second option is to combine a visit to our country with a visit to the neighboring Museum of Handicrafts in Krkonoše - half of the group comes to us (excursions + possibly a creative workshop), the other half to the museum and vice versa.

Admission for groups of more than 15 people is uniform - CZK 30 per person.

Installation of a simple star in a creative workshop - 40 CZK, other possibilities of a creative workshop here.

Information for schools

If you would like to come with a school class, we look forward to welcoming you.
Usually we have to split the class in half. If you just want to visit us, one half goes on an excursion and the other half stays in a creative workshop and then changes. Schools often combine a visit with us with a tour of the neighboring Museum of Handicrafts in Krkonoše. Half of the class stays with us, where he goes on an excursion and puts up an asterisk depending on interests, half goes to a museum and then they take turns.
Admission for children - CZK 20 (free pedagogical care for 20 children).
Assembly of a simple star in a creative workshop - CZK 40.
