Průhonice is a village on the south-eastern edge of Prague, close enough to the capital that you can hear the city's hum, and yet its park feels like a separate country. The park was shaped from the 1880s by Count Arnošt Emanuel Silva-Tarouca, a passionate plantsman who worked with the landscape designer Adolf Vaněk to create a naturalistic landscape of lakes, meadows and woodland. He collected trees and shrubs from across the temperate world, and the park is especially known for its rhododendrons, which bloom in a riot of colour around May.

Silver made Kutná Hora. In the late thirteenth century rich veins were found in the hills here, and within a few decades this small town east of Prague had become one of the richest places in medieval Europe. The Bohemian kings minted their silver groschen here, in the building known as the Italian Court, and it was money from these mines that helped finance the reign of Wenceslas II and later Charles IV. The result is a town that has a cathedral's worth of ambition packed into a small hillside setting.

Kladruby nad Labem is a horse village in the flat country of the Elbe valley in eastern Bohemia, and its stud farm is among the oldest in the world. It was founded in the sixteenth century to breed carriage horses for the Habsburg court, and the Kladruber, a large, elegant horse that is usually white or black, is still bred here. The landscape, with its stables, riding grounds, pastures, avenues of trees and farm buildings laid out as a single working system, was added to the UNESCO list in 2019 as a cultural landscape.

81 km in you reach Landscape for Breeding and Training of Cer. Next is Kutnà Hora: Historical Town Centre with th.
Kutná Hora was once the second city of Bohemia, and the reason is silver. In the thirteenth century, rich veins were found in the hills here, and within a hundred years the town was producing a large share of Europe's silver, which paid for kings, armies and cathedrals. The royal mint, known as the Italian Court because of the Florentine craftsmen who ran it, struck the Prague groschen, a silver coin that circulated across Central Europe, and the Bohemian king sometimes stayed here. The wealth of the town is written in its buildings, notably the great Cathedral of Saint Barbara, a Gothic masterpiece with soaring, pointed vaults and flying buttresses like the ribs of a ship, dedicated to the patron saint of miners.
