Kutná Hora and Czech National Stud day trip
Kutná Hora and Czech National Stud day trip
Nice day trip to the city of Kutná Hora, one of the most visited UNESCO towns in the Czech Republic, and to the stunning National Stud in Kladruby – another famous UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This amazing day trip will start in Prague in the morning hours. After an hour we will arrive at the charming jewel of Central Bohemia, the amazing mediaeval UNESCO city of Kutná Hora. Once it was the second richest city in the Czech Kingdom, wealthy from silver mining and with a variety of architectural monuments and the breathtaking Gothic St. Barbara’s Cathedral, founded in 1388 and the Early Gothic Cathedral of Assumption Of Our Lady And St.John The Baptist from 1320. But together we will visit not only these amazing cathedrals, but also Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque buildings in the city centre and the unique Stone Fountain from the 15th century.
After the food tasting lunch in a unique cosy restaurant, we will visit the mysterious Bone Church in Sedlec, a unique mediaeval ossuary decorated with more than 40,000 human bones.
The second destination of this day trip will be unique world-famous Czech National Stud in Kladruby nad Labem, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. The National Stud in Kladruby is one of the oldest stud farms in the world while being home to the oldest Czech indigenous breed of horses – the Kladruber.
We will discover the history of the Kladruber – a horse breed that was selectively bred (probably as the only breed in the world) specifically for ceremonial purposes of rulers and the tradition of which goes back at least to the 14th century.
