KUTNÁ HORA AND THE BONE CHURCH
UNESCO SITE TOUR, (6-7 hrs)
Local rich silver mines let Kutna Hora town
grow into Bohemia's second most important city in the medieval times. The
legacy of this glorious epoch can be seen in the nice historical buildings
that line the cobblestone streets. Walking along the old streets you can visit:
the Italian Court - the former coin mint and the temporary seat of
the Czech kings in the 15th century. Breathe the Gothic atmosphere in the
imposing Gothic Cathedral of St. Barbara. Do not miss the Bone Church - Ossuary

Czech silver museum that offers the challenging excursion of the real old
mine pit (narrow, dark corridors, underground)
