Kutná Hora: Introduction
The
ancient silver mining town of Kutná Hora is a nice day
trip from Prague. In as little as an hour, you can escape
the crowds of Prague and enjoy the beauty of this small Czech
town with a big past.
In the 13th century, silver was discovered
here and a few decades later the royal mint was established.

The town was famous for producing the
Prague groschen coins
and became the second most important town in the Kingdom of Bohemia.
Some sights not to miss are the gothic Cathedral of Saint Barbora
and the former royal mint.
