Příbram & Hidden Brdy: Mines, Mountains & Forgotten Forests

Discover industrial heritage, magnificent pilgrimage architecture, and the untouched wilderness of the Brdy Mountains.

At RSP Adventures, we don't just visit well-known places—we uncover the experiences that most travellers overlook.

Escape Prague for a day and explore one of Central Bohemia's most fascinating regions. From the magnificent Baroque pilgrimage complex of Svatá Hora to the historic silver mines that made Příbram one of the richest towns in the Kingdom of Bohemia, this journey reveals how faith and industry shaped the region for centuries.

Leaving the town behind, we'll venture into the peaceful Brdy Mountains—a landscape that remained closed to the public for nearly 90 years as a military training area. Today, these once-forbidden forests have become one of Czechia's most beautiful protected landscapes, where nature has reclaimed a remarkable piece of history.

Along the way, we'll descend into an authentic historic mine, enjoy an easy forest hike through towering pine woods, visit the tranquil Pilská Reservoir, climb the unique Rudolfka Lookout Tower built above a former mining shaft, and, if time allows, end the day with a secret bonus stop that adds one final surprise to this unforgettable adventure.

This is more than a day trip—it's a journey through Faith, Industry, and Nature Reclaimed, revealing a side of Czechia that even many locals have never experienced.
