Kutna Hora is a beautifully preserved medieval town with its quiet atmosphere, in the past known as a famous silver mining and minting town. Among the sites not to be missed there belongs St. Barbora's Cathedral with its valuable wall paintings, a unique Stone Fountain and the Stone House, the former royal mint or the silver mine exposition. On the way back we will visit Sedlec, a village where a famous and at the same time a bizarre church of All Saints with its ossuary is located.
