The Czech Republic isn’t all about beer and castles. The country also offers plenty of opportunities for adventure, you just need to know where to find it. If you consider yourself an adventurous traveler, here are the best places you should visit.

Bohemian Switzerland

Part of the Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland region, Bohemian Switzerland is a national park that features amazing spots for rock climbing, an abundance of hiking trails, fast streams for kayaking, and much more. You will also have an opportunity to check out Pravčická brána, which is the largest sandstone arch in Europe.

Kutná Hora (Sedlec Ossuary)

Kutná Hora is primarily worth visiting due to its Sedlec Ossuary. Located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints, the ossuary contains the bones and skeletons of between 40,000 and 70,000 people, with many being arranged in the form of decoration. While there, you can also explore the archeological ruins of Castle Sion or pay a visit to Vrchlickeho waterfalls.

Moravian Karst

Located near the city of Brno, Moravian Karst is a region that features 1,100 caves and gorges, with most of them being available for exploring. Punkva Caves are a particularly popular cave system among tourists and adventurers due to its 455-foot-deep Macocha Abyss sinkhole and passages decorated with stalactites and stalagmites.
