To see some of the Czech countryside, take an easy day hike from Prague that also leads you past castles, churches and flooded quarries.
Hiking in a bohemian paradise
It’s called Bohemian Paradise and, in many ways, it is a paradise. Amongst the forest you find rock formations, castles, lakes and pubs.
The stolen European palaces
The two magnificent palaces at Lednice and Valtice are surrounded by equally magnificent parklands… but have they been stolen?
The Church of Bones
One of the strangest sights you will ever see – this creepy church is decorated with the bones of thousands of dead bodies!
The Czech Republic’s silver lining
This old silver mining city has a richness of sites to see. This church and cathedral are two of the most important.
The five star church
The Pilgrimage Church of Saint John of Nepomuk has a very special design for a man who is legendary in this part of Europe.
Inside the castle at Litomyšl
The beautiful castle at Litomyšl dazzles from the outside and has a wonderful collection of Czech heritage inside.
The ghetto and the church
The Czech city of Třebíč shows the worst of European policies but the best of humanity, with two religions side by side
Is it just a column?
It might sound strange to go all the way to Olomouc just to see a column – but it’s a special column. And it turns out the city is quite spectacular too!
