Blatensky vrch is 1043 m high pick in the Ore Mountains. To the pick goes short and easy walk from Horni Blatna main square. On the way there is ice hole and wolf pit (holes left after mining industry extracting tin and iron in the area of the mountain) and the observation tower on the pick. Nice walk suitable for kids.
Great place for a stop on the way Berlin - Prague (by car you need to go around 10 minutes from highway). Scenic place with restaurant and a tour thought the ruins of the castle from XIV century. By the entrance is offered paper guide in all European languages. Easy to walk even for 3-4 year old kids. (Not suitable for the pram).
In the cave there are stone roses that are 1,5 million years old. And many "newer" stalactites and stalagmites. Also in the Koněprusy Caves system, a large number of animal bones from 600,000 - 13,000 years ago, as well as human bones belonging to the Homo sapiens sapiens of about 13,000 years old, were found. In the Celtic times the area got its name: that means whiet horses. At the entrance to the cave is the symbol of Celtic women on the horse. Sometime between 1469 and 1472, a money-making workshop was set up on the upper floor to make fake coins. All this was forgotten and in 1950 the cave was rediscovered again and open to the public in 1959.
The tour in the cave is suitable for kinds age 4+ (no prams). It definitely makes an impression. Our kid also enjoyed a lot collecting the stones in the valley bellow the cave (yellow touristic path in the are of the cave). It is easy to find stones with seashells, small creatures and parts of plants. And you can allowed to take them with. Enjoy.
Nice trail through nature and archaeological site of middle ages village.
Kašperské Hory is a mountainous resort rich in the history and attractions. Main square is full of restaurants and hotels. Delicious food, buildings are renovated and the offer is reach. We enjoyed most during the visit in Glassworks were we could blow our own mugs. From the city Kašperské Hory we walked through the fields and forest to the castle Kasperk build by Charles IV. Great atmosphere inside and interesting guide tour - suited for the time of the year. We learn about the Christmases in the middle ages castle and my son played the Charles IV himself.There is also possibility to ski. Definitely worth of visiting for the few days.
