What to do and see in Kutna Hora, Bohemia: The Best Things to do
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.

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.

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.
