Walking tours in Central Europe

This is a journey between the two historic capitals of two historic lands. Start from Brno, the capital of Moravia, and walk through the peaceful and pristine Bohemian-Moravian Highlands to Prague, in the heart of Bohemia. From Brno, dominated by its Gothic cathedral, but famous also for modern Villa Tugendhat, a UNESCO Heritage site, head for the first majestic castle on the route, Pernstejn. Continue to Policka, a small town with the best-preserved town walls in Central Europe. Next you will visit a UNESCO protected pilgrimage church near Zdar nad Sazavou built in unique Gothic-Baroque style of the 18th century, then the area of Hlinsko, known for its picturesque folk architecture and living traditions. Through tranquile little places with ancient trees and great vistas arrive at fairy-tale Zleby castle and the medieval UNESCO-protected silver mining city of Kutna Hora with two superb cathedrals. Following the Sazava River come to imposing Cesky Sternberk castle, and finish your walking tour at Konopiste, once the estate of Archduke Ferdinand d’Este, whose assassination Sarajevo in 1914 sparked WWI. Hundred-spired Prague with all its charms is waiting for you at the very end of the tour. There are two alternatives prepared for almost each day. Both are interesting, but one is a bit more demanding than the other one. You can choose along the way and “play it by ear”.
