Did you know that the largest kaolin quarry in Central Europe is located in the Pilsen region? Have you seen Czech fairy tale Devil Quill? Not ??? Never mind, the kaolin mines and quarries near Pilsen will make up for the spectacular show too!
First of all we will be welcomed by the futuristic building based on rural house of the Kaolin Center, where you will learn all the essentials about this Czech world-known raw material. Subsequently, we climb to the only accessible kaolin underground mine in the Czech Republic. It was made accessible thanks to the filmmakers when shooting the already mentioned fairy tale. In the underground you can see huge portals, narrow-gauge railway and corroded mining equipment, or scary sculptures left by visitors to the site before its official opening to the public. Then we go out to the daylight and reach the prospect of the largest kaolin quarry in Central Europe. This industrial heritage will leave you with an indelible mark and an unforgettable experience!
