The beautiful valley near Ceská Skalice called Babiccino údolí (Grandma's Valley) is closely connected with Czech literature. It is a small area in East Bohemia where the 19th-century Czech writer Božena Nemcová lived as a child and where her best-known novel "Babicka" or "Grandmother" was set. The valley includes not only a series of historic buildings such as Ratiborice chateau, the Old Bleaching-ground, the Water Mill, the Mangle, the Seigneurial Inn but also "The Grandmother" sculptural group by Otto Guttfreund nestled in a pleasant and peaceful landscape having a unique and calm atmosphere.
Just in a yard of the former water mill (called Ludr's mill) one can find used millstone used in the mill for milling of grains into flour.
