Off The Beaten Path: Svata Hora (Holy Mountain)
  • Tip Rating:
  • Svata Hora is a shrine in Pribram, a small town, just under an hour's drive from Prague. (60km southwest of Prague).
    From the town centre you can climb the steps leading up to Svata Hora, which are all under cover, but there are about 365 of them and stretch for one mile. It is worth it when you get to the top though as it is beautiful. Another way of getting to Svata Hora is a short hike through woods to the gate. The shrine was reconstructed in the 17th Century in Italianate Baroque style with ornate decoration and salmon pink and cream in colour. Apart from the basilica there is also a museum and a small market selling souvenirs.

     Nice tips! I want to go, but my husband went before we met and now I may have a hard time getting him to go back. He only wants places that make his map more blue! :D
