Kotel Hell - Summer Mini Festival

Kotel Hell is a summer mini festival combining rock music with traditional goulash cooking in cauldrons over an open fire. This is the second edition of the event, which was first held in July 2025 on a football pitch in Horní Pěna and was a great success. Competing teams cook goulash throughout the day right on the grounds, and the prepared dishes are offered to visitors free of charge. The jury includes Sierra Holanová — winner of the first season of Hell's Kitchen Česko — and Pavel Švestka, a member of the Czech National Culinary Team. The programme also features a dumpling-eating contest for visitors. Throughout the day, recorded music plays and a children's zone operates with an inflatable castle, face painting, and other games. The stage will feature ARAKAIN, Totální nasazení, zakázanÝovoce, Civilní Obrana, and the band Seven, which will add a fire show. The event is aimed at a broad audience — from neighbours in the Jindřichův Hradec region through motorcyclists to families with children.
