The small town of Kašperské Hory was known in medieval times as a gold mining center, but now its main economy is the holiday industry as both a winter and a summer resort too. The town sits in a protected belt of the Bohemian Forest, on the upper reaches of the Otava River and just below the ruins of Kašperk castle. There is some stunning architecture to be found in this small town, none more so than the renaissance town hall built in 1579, and St Margaret’s Church built in the early 15th century. In one of the old houses in the town square you will find the Museum of Šumava which houses some fine exhibits of gold mining, glass blowing, and various other historic artifacts. The town is a treasure trove of sights to see, and you should book as well in advance as you can into one of the discount hotels in Kašperské Hory through our listings here at EasyToBook.com.
On the Southern edge of Kašperské Hory, you will find the Neo-Romanesque church of Our Lady of Snow. When Kašperské Hory became a pilgrimage center for so many religious travelers, Our Lady of Snow was constructed in 1850/1867 to accommodate the visitors as St Margaret’s church just wasn’t large enough. With so many places to visit, you’ll want to make sure you have the right accommodation by booking into one of the fine, cheap hotels in Kašperské Hory.
