"I have been performing regularly in Trocnov since 2015, and I believe that popularizing scientific knowledge to a wider audience is absolutely essential and is the only way to counteract tabloid writing about history."

Petr Čornej (historian)

"I'm currently reading a fascinating book by Petr Čornej, Jan Žižka. When I bought it, the lady at the bookstore said to me, 'Yes, we have it. It's big, thick, and has small letters.' The first chapter is called Trocnov. So I decided to go there and take a look for myself."

Leoš Mareš (presenter, producer, and singer)

"Trocnov is such an interesting place that it's really worth visiting. Tourists can see what it might have looked like back then."

Petr Jákl (film producer and director)

"We originally met with the production crew of the upcoming film Srdce Aldorie (The Heart of Aldoria), which will feature Hollywood actor John Rhys-Davies, known as Gimli the dwarf from The Lord of the Rings, in the spring of 2025 for several days of filming in September. During the meeting, we offered them other unique locations in South Bohemia, and instead of returning to Prague, we immediately arranged a trip to the Trocnov Archaeological Open-Air Museum in cooperation with our colleagues from the regional office's culture department. As a result, filming in South Bohemia will continue in the spring of 2026."

Petr Soukup (Director of the South Bohemian Tourist Authority)

"In 2023, we had the honor of representing the South Bohemian Film Office at the prestigious Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, in cooperation with the Czech Film Commission. During Industry Day, we focused on presenting our portfolio of film locations and regional benefits that the South Bohemian Region has to offer. Among the locations mentioned was Archeoskanzen. The presentation also took place in 2025 at the American Film Market in Los Angeles. The filmmakers there were enthusiastic about Trocnov, and it's no wonder. It is an exceptional place with enormous film potential. We believe that our South Bohemian locations will also attract Hollywood! South Bohemia has a lot to offer – and we are happy to be able to present it to the world together."

Hana Kabashi (South Bohemian Film Office JCCR)

"If there is one historical figure who belongs to southern Bohemia, regardless of how we may judge him, it is Jan Žižka. In this context, the invitation to the Trocnov Archaeological Open-Air Museum is perfectly clear, because we want to show how Žižka lived at that time."

Martin Kuba (Governor of the South Bohemian Region)

"The potential of the site is enormous. The Archeoskanzen as such is the best use we could have found for it, and now I can't imagine that the Archeoskanzen isn't here, wasn't here, and won't be here. I have a really strong connection to this place."

Patrik Červák (Head of the Department of Culture and Monument Preservation of the South Bohemian Region)

"A wonderful lady gave us a tour of the Archeoskanzen, and it was really interesting and amazing for the children. We definitely recommend visiting, we loved it!"
