Muzeum historických motocyklů JAWA Rabakov

Family-run museum in Rabakov showcasing over 180 Jawa motorcycles, prototypes and related vehicles across several exhibition halls. The collection illustrates the brand's evolution from 1929-era machines to later 20th-century and modern models.

The site includes a newer main building (completed 2013) with core exhibits and separate displays for military, police and prototype bikes. It's close to Dětenice Castle and makes a focused stop for motorcycle enthusiasts touring the region.

A dense, enthusiast-focused collection with many restored and operational JAWA machines on display.
