Stone Fountain (Kamenná kašna) in the historic centre
Beste tijd om te bezoeken
Early morning or late afternoon avoids tour groups and gives soft light for photos. April to October brings outdoor cafes and occasional events, while winter offers quieter streets and crisp views.
Budgettips
Fountain is free to view in the square, no ticket required. Other nearby sites such as St. Barbara's Church and the Sedlec Ossuary charge admission; look for combined or reduced-price tickets at official counters and walk from the train to avoid parking fees.

Korte feiten: Granite-smooth stone cools your fingertips at the basin, where water once mirrored the glitter of nearby silver mines. Local legends whisper of secret passages under the square, while records show the fountain served as a vital communal water source and meeting spot.
Hoogtepunten: Press your ear to the cold, lichen-streaked stone and you might pick up the hollow ping of water running through a centuries-old channel, a faint metallic note locals call the 'stone heartbeat'. Every year on St. Barbara's feast day, December 4, a tiny procession still tosses three coins into the basin while whispering the names of miners, a quirk that traces back to the town's medieval silver trade.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes, cobblestone streets and uneven steps around the square can be slippery after rain.
- Visit just after sunrise for photos with soft light and no tour groups, or at golden hour for warm tones against the Gothic facades.
- Frame the fountain with nearby historic buildings in the background to show scale and context in photos.
- Avoid late-morning coach arrivals by touring the square early or late, and schedule paid attractions for the quieter afternoon.
