A popular daytrip destination from Prague, Kutna Hora offers spectacular faded grandeur without the capital's madding crowds. The financial center of Bohemia until the silver ore ran out, Kutna Hora once rivaled Prague's magnificence. The site of Wenceslas II's Royal Mint in 1308, the town was added to UNESCO's World Heritage list in 1996. Saint Barbara's cathedral and the eerie Kostnice bone church, decorated with disconcerting sculptures of the bones of plague victims, are main attractions.

Visit our small museum of Kutná Hora chocolate factory Koukol&Michera (also called Lidka), which used to be one of the most famous in Europe. Taste the best chocolates from the chocolate manufactury - made with love from cocoa beans in the Czech Republic, winners of Academy of Chocolate. Experience great atmosphere!
The chocolate was high quality, delicious, and came in milk, dark of many varieties, and some white. The owner was very friendly and had lots of tasty samples for us to try. Don’t miss the hot chocolate!

Hradek mentioned as early as 1312, is a fortified castle-palace of the town type. Nowadays it is the seat of the main exposition of the Czech Museum of Silver. The museum offers two tours and the main attraction is a visit to an authentic medieval silver mine.
We enjoyed learning about the history of silver mining in Kutna Hora and the difficult job that miners had. The tour was informative and an excellent example of the claustrophobic conditions that the miners had to endure. I am definitely glad that they outfitted us with helmets since I whacked my head several times during the tour.

This Gothic church, located in the middle of a cemetery, dates from the end of the 13th century; in 1698, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style. Sedlec ossuary, a small chapel located in the graveyard of the Church of All Saints, is decorated with the bones of more than 40,000 people.
It was quite a unique experience, there are 9 bone chapels in Europe. It has a great history behind it. The church is decorated with bones and skulls. IT is creepy and fascinating at the same time to see and walk around the church. It is a must visit and is hardly an hour drive from Prague.

The first cathedral-style structure in Bohemia is a magnificent example of 13th-century Czech Gothic architecture.
The beautiful Cathedral of Our Lady in Sedlec is a UNESCO World Heritage site! A short walk from the Sedlec Ossuary it is worth a quick visit!! Go up the spiraling staircase to see how the old roof was constructed. Never ceases to amaze me at the workmanship that was put into these buildings....
