Second part of the trilogy. Vasek is expected to go to Bulgaria for a holiday with his parents during the summer vacation, but the boy finds the prospect of spending the summer with his gamekeeper grandfather far more tempting than the seaside.

The grandfather is happy to have his grandson at his side again. In the evening, he gets a phone call from Vasek's mother. The trip to Bulgaria has been postponed and Vasek can stay with his grandfather for the time being.

Sorry, this movie sucks
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
This film in the series begins with a distraught Straka, believing that he will not get to spend time with his grandson because little Vaek is supposed to go to Bulgaria during his summer vacation for a holiday with his parents instead of going back to spend the summer with his grandfather. Being a tenacious boy, he plans in advance, hiding his suitcase with a neighbor and saving enough money for a bus fare. On the last day of school Vaek picks up his final report, but after that he takes his already packed bag and sets off for the Bohemian Forest without telling his parents. By this time, we already know that the little gamekeeper, knowledgeable and appreciative of the forest just like his grandfather, finds the prospect of spending the summer with his gamekeeper grandfather far more tempting than the seaside and we're happy to see him take this adventure. A friendly bus driver helps to deliver him to the right place and Straka is pleasantly surprised when Vaek appears and is happy to have his grandson at his side again. In the evening, a call comes from Vaek's mother, and the trip to Bulgaria is postponed.Once again, Vaek and his grandfather have various experiences in the forest together. There is even a poacher on the loose and they work together to hunt him down. The film has more action than the first in the series and it ends with his mother coming a week before the end of summer so they can still have their family trip to Bulgaria. As they are saying their goodbye's, little Vaek receives a cute little gamekeeper's hound of his own announcing "but now I can't go to Bulgaria!"
