Cave and Castle

Once close to a Celtic settlement, the Koñeprusy caves were not only the hiding hole of forgers in the 15th century but also have unique limestone formations in the shape of roses plus the more usual stalactites and stalagmites.

In the late afternoon we were treated to 3 separate tours of the 14th century Karlstejn castle where Charles IV not only had a chapel in his bedroom but 3 others as well, one of which housed the Crown Jewels and the holy relics he loved to collect including the 6 fingers from St Johns left hand!
