Czech Countryside Tour From Prague: Zelena Hora in Zdar and Cervena Lhota - UNESCO

Head out into the countryside and visit some of the Czech Republic's UNESCO World Heritage Sites on this 10-hour small-group guided tour from Prague, limited to just six people. Visit the pilgrimage site Zelená Hora, admire Červená Lhota chateau, and discover works by the famed architect Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel.

At Czech monuments there are professional guides provided by the monument administration for the best experience.

For the road you can choose between two options:

Private excursion with a buddy (“guide”) and local guides at monuments.

On the way, you will be able to ask your buddy about anything you are interested in.

Private excursion with the written description and local guides at monuments.

Written description will provide basic information about the trip, sights and history of the country.

Meet your local guide at 8:30am at your hotel in Prague. Board the air-conditioned minivan and get ready for a 10-hour tour through the Czech countryside, taking in some remarkable historic sites.

First stop is the lovely, rose-tinted, chateau Červená Lhota, which is a former fortress constructed in the middle of the 14th century. After exploring the architecture, drive on to Zelená Hora, famed for its UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Pilgrimage Church of St. Jan of Nepomuk, the final work of the Bohemian architect Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel. Listen as your guide explains the motivation behind the construction of the church and the legends of selfless priests that surround it.

Then, enjoy a lunch of typical Czech cuisine in a local restaurant. After lunch head to the town of Ždár nad Sázavou to visit more sites connected to Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel. Admire such landmarks as the Basilica of the Assumption of Virgin Mary and St. Nicholas; get to know about the lives of the Cistercian monks, and visit the monks' dormitories.

Conclude your tour with a visit to the Church of St. James, built in the 12th century and richly decorated with Romanesque sculptures, before relaxing on the journey back to the center of Prague.
