Some evening during this winter I went back from visit and I made some photos. Sorry for the quality of the pictures, but it was taken with my handy Sony Ericsson K790i and it make bad photos in night. However there were so much snow, that I liked to do some photos. One picture in the Old Square town with our Mr. Hus and toilette instead of him I see little bit funny. Have a look to the Christmas Prague photos too.

Trip to the Ostrava for one day

admin — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 20:43:27 +0000

This city is far away from Prague, almost 4 hours with car, if you have not traffic jam. So if you need go to Ostrava to business meeting like me, the best way is to catch train “Pendolino” which is going to Ostrava in three hours. The first one is starting from Prague in 5:23 and you sould catch first metro (it start in 4:45). Then you will be in Ostrava in cca 8:30. It is rally good that the train stops just in few train station (Prague m.s. – Pardubice – Olomouc – Ostrava–Svinov – Ostrava m.s.).

However you are travelling in the best train in Czech Republic, the second class does not have electricity for laptops and the train should be little bit more clear (sits and tables). But the restaurant wagon is cheap.

So here are some photos:

Kutna Hora town

admin — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:41:03 +0000

We have visited this town at Saturday. This historical city has rich history, because there were silver mines. So there is the second biggest cathedral in the Czech Republic, the Cathedral of st. Barbora who is patron of miners.

Kutna Hora Train station

Train to Kutna Hora

The train is going each two hours, and it takes 60 minutes from Prague main train station. We catch the train at 9:56. In the Kutna Hora main station there were a lot of tourists traveling as we. The train station is about two kilometers out from the historic centre, and you can walking or take the bus.

Cemetary chapel with ossuary

Cemetery chapel with ossuary

So we decided go by walk and first stop was the „seller with bones“ around more than 500 years old. The entrance fee casts 50 CZK and there is open whole year (just 24.12 is closed). It was nice that we can make there photos, or if you want video.
The chapel is in the middle of small cemetery and it was built in 14 century. There are bones more this 40,000 people, and something like pyramids is built from them. The altar is there, and pictures made from the bones on the wall. I have visited one more ossuary in the Melnik town and there it is smaller but there are narrow ways between the bone walls and they are close and you are not separated by the bar. But still this ossuary is really unusual.

Cistercian monastery in Sedlec

Close to the ossuary is THE CHURCH OF THE ASSUMPTION OF OUR LADY and both sights are close to the train station. The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady was built between 1282 and 1320.

Plague column

Plague column

Plague Column was created between 1713 and 1714 as a reaction to plague epidemic that struck Kutná Hora in 1713 and left thousands of victims behind. I have made proto, but there was a car.

Stone fountain

I forgot to do photos, but it does not look like well. It is large and made from stones, but it looks good.

Cathedral of st. Barbora

.

Cathedral of st. Barbara

Our main goal was this cathedral and ossuary, I have made a lot of photos, and you can see here on this site. The cathedral is the second most important in the Czech Republic, and mine important priest became from Kutna Hora. The Cathedral has rich ornamentation and it is high building because here was the silver mined. Just go inside, pay the fee and look to the nice ornamentation. People can make photos here.

Italian Court

Italian court

On the way back we visited the Italian court, the old one mint. We have to wait 40 minutes to next travel through the court, so we had a look just inside, and went to next stop. There is another gallery than mint and it is called „Crime and Punishment“. It is separated in the seller.

It is shame, that the museum of silver was closed, so we visited some restaurant, had lunch and went back to the train station. Together we needed five hours to visit the famous city Kutna Hora.

The photos from this tour are here.

Vysehrad, Karlstejn and Jewish town

admin — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 08:17:26 +0000

I have been traveling around the sights, castles and church a lot. Here are some photos from Jewish Town, but I have not been there, because the entrance fees CZK 300 for five synagogues and commentary. Then I’ve visited Vysehrad look-out, commentary and Church (just 30 CZK for entrance) and the nicest place was the Karlstejn castle. So here are some photos from these places.
