Praguexplorer

You have last chance to see the Halloween pumpkin exhibition in the botanical garden in Prague, this time in Mexican style.

Praguexplorer is in the Krkonose Mountains and the Jizera Mountains. We started our hike from the Polish side of the Krkonose Mountains, where we took the cable car to the Szrenica mountain, we walked passing the Snowy Pits, Labska Hut, Vrbatova hut, which tells the story of two Czech cross-country skiers who tragically died here during a cross-country race in 1913. Then the spring Elbe - that's the hole in the ground, unfortunately a very big drought. And the descent back to the Polish side - the whole trip 19km.

We spent a few days in the Moravian Karst area, which is located about 3 hours from Prague in the northern part of the South Moravian region. This area has over 1500 registered caves and 5 are open to the public. We visited the caves in the Sloup area and the Bull cave, which is only open 3 weekends a year.

House signs - we have more than 260 of them in Prague. They are mostly symbols, pictures above the door. The history of these signs goes back to the 14th century. The images mostly represented the owner's profession or name. We must remember that at this time most people could not read and write, so pictures were very practical.
