Prague walking – “A Short River Walk”

Kutna Hora town

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.

Karlštejn castle

This weekend I have been on the Karlštejn. It is really good tip for tourist. There are good connection with train from mail train station, may be 45 minutes whit train, and then you have to go 2 KM from train station to the Karlštejn castle. And the train is gong each 40 minutes. There are two tour firs one is shorter for 250Kc and second one is now closed and it is for 500Kc.

There are a lot of shops, nice restaurants. You can make nice photos and see part of our history focusing to Charles IV.
