Highest church steeple in Czech Republic. It was near closing and no one was manning the ticket booth, so we climbed to the top - and it is 300 steps, some very narrow and short with low overhead.

You better check the opening hours it might not be open all day long during the off season. If you are afraid of heights don't worry,... More

In the middle of the town square across from city hall is St. Bartholomew's. You cannot miss it because it is the tallest church in the whole country. You are allowed to walk into the church and look past through a gate at the pews, stained glass, paintings and alter. It is attractive but I wanted to get closer to... More
