History

The “Skryté příběhy” route was inspired by the fairy-tale film “Čertí brko”, which was filmed, among other locations, in the former underground kaolin mine in Nevřeň. Another special feature is the fire brigade climbing frame in Nevřeň: the concrete monument dates from 1936 and was built by the inhabitants of Nevřeň. Due to its architecture and the choice of building material, it is unique in the Czech Republic.
