A postcard-perfect village with a former Benedictin monastery, nestled under an impressive limestone cliff. We arrive here after a short ride from Prague, and fill up our bottles with (supposedly) healing water from local spring. After soaking up the holy atmosphere, we start climbing up the cliff, to view the village from bird's perspective. Along the way we will pass a former limestone quarry with an exposition of historical mining machinery.

Open air museum of mining history and machinery. We will pass around the museum as part of our hike to the cliff above Svaty Jan, nevertheless we will not enter the mine itself. In summer a small mining railway is in operation for local families visiting the museum, on certain weekends with a steam locomotive.

After a short transfer (10 mins) from Svatý Jan, we will arrive to the parking below the iconic castle. To give you the best view of it (and avoid crowds), we will take alternative path and approach the castle via a tourist trail from opposite direction. The detour is not more than 30 mins walking, and with your camera full of impressive pictures, we will arrive to the main gem of the trip. Here we leave it up to you whether to enter the castle itself, or enjoy the tourist village beneath it. Return to Prague from here can be done individually by a direct train running every 30 minutes, optionally we can drive you back to your hotel.
