Nevřeň: Hotels and Accommodations

In Nevřeň, the “POD ZEMÍ” educational trail leads from the Centrum Caolinum to the entrance of the Nevřeň mine. The entrance to the kaolin mine is about a 20- to 30-minute walk from the Centrum Caolinum along this signposted educational trail.

Nature

The “POD ZEMÍ” educational trail introduces visitors to underground ecosystems and the effects of human activity. It includes carved wooden figures of mushrooms and earthworms, as well as climbing elements for children. The temperature underground in the Nevřeň kaolin mine is around 10°C.

Another route is “Skryté příběhy” in Nevřeň: an approximately 6 km circular walking trail accompanied by a mobile app that ends at the kaolin mine. The route was inspired by the fairy-tale film “Čertí brko”, which was filmed, among other locations, in the former underground kaolin mine in Nevřeň.

Culture

The Centrum Caolinum Nevřeň features a multimedia exhibition on the history of kaolin mining. As a modern visitor and community center, it has facilities for cultural events. Guided tours of the Nevřeň kaolin mine lead through underground passages and introduce visitors to local history and former mining methods.

The local character is also defined by the firefighters’ climbing tower, a concrete architectural monument built in 1936 by the residents of Nevřeň. Due to its architecture and choice of building material, it is unique in the Czech Republic.
