Press release Mystical Czech Republic – visit places with powerful energy There are many ageless buildings and mysterious places in the Czech Republic with stories to tell about magic. Go in search of the mysteries of Central Europe and discover places that have been fascinating visitors with their mystical atmosphere and positive energy. 1. Pilgrimage Basilica on Svatý Hostýn Near Přerov in South Moravia lies the village of Hostýn, surrounding one of the most important Czech pilgrimage sites. At the top of the hill stands the Basilica of the Assumption with its long and turbulent history. A fort was built here by ancient people and during the Middle Ages the inhabitants of surrounding hamlets sought shelter from Tatar raids at the top of it. When they ran out of supplies, they prayed to the Mother of God, who opened up a spring at their hiding place. Shortly after that, a violent storm broke out that drove the invaders away. As the legend of it began to spread, more and more pilgrims came to Hostýn, and so in the early 18th century today’s Basilica of the Assumption was built here. The Water Chapel was built around the miracle spring and the entire location is visited by thousands of pilgrims who also go to see the extraordinarily constructed Way of the Cross by architect Dušan Jurkovič. 2. Rotunda of St. Peter and Paul in Budeč u Zákolan The beginnings of Czech statehood are still recalled in the Rotunda of Peter and Paul in Budeč, which was built about 1,100 years ago. The nave is not only the oldest still standing structure in the Czech Republic but also the oldest school in the country. Presumably the patron saint of the Czech lands, St. Václav, whose life ended in fratricide, also studied here. It is surrounded by very powerful and positive energy, and has a shape that actually resembles a heart. Sensitive people feel peace of mind here and manage to rise above the problems of the outside world. ČCCR — CzechTourism is an allowance organization of the Ministry for Regional development of the Czech Republic. Its main activity is the promotion of the Czech Republic as an attractive tourist destination both at home and abroad. www.czechtourism.com 3. Magical monasteries Rosa Coeli and Panenský Týnec South Moravia also has another building shrouded in positive energy. Rosa Coeli is the oldest convent in Moravia. Today only the main wall remains, along with several vaults, and the building has something extraordinarily magical about it – between the walls, you can admire the starry sky in place of the vaulted ceiling, and if your nature is extra sensitive, you will certainly feel waves of positive energy flowing around you. You will also find a magical place that breathes a unique atmosphere in northwestern Bohemia. Panenský Týnec is an old town founded by the noble clan of Žerotín in the 13th century. Its massive, unfinished Gothic church, whose magical power is hidden in the stone walls, also dates from this period. It is one of the most powerful and mystical places in the Czech Republic. The shape of the positive energy zone in Panenský Týnec resembles a cross and a stay in this place is especially recommended for people suffering from depression with suicidal tendencies. 4. Říp and Blaník, mountains shrouded in legend The momentous Říp Mountain is the symbol of Czech national history. An old legend says that the forefather of the nation, Čech, stopped here with his retinue in search of a new home for the Slavs. According to the legend, the mountain opened up on Palm Sunday and inside he spied a large clearing where horses with golden horseshoes were grazing. The tale furthermore mentions a pond with a flock of geese with golden feathers and a hen with twelve golden eggs. All that is certain is that at the top of the hill stands the Romanesque rotunda of St. Jiří and St. Vojtěch, one of the oldest preserved structures in the country. Standing in Central Bohemia is the small mountain of Blaník, which is associated with the legend of the Knights of Blaník. The legend of this army of warriors sleeping inside the mountain, from where they emerge to help their people, spread throughout the Celtic world. Every day spent inside the mountain is, according to legend, as long as an Earth year. 5. Treasures of Krudum Hill in Slavkov Forest Legendary Krudum Hill in the protected area of Slavkov Forest in the Karlovy Vary region supposedly hides many treasures of the Celts who once lived here. It was said about Krudum that it had a green head (forest), silver heart (silver ore) and golden foot (gold was once panned in the marshland at the foot of the hill). All locations, including the local church, reportedly conceal unimaginable wealth. Another legend talks about the ghosts of miners who meet regularly for mass at the local chapel. 2/2
