Guided walks along the educational trail JÁchymov’s hell
The first Czech walk that is guaranteed to enlighten you – come and see for yourself!
The association Političtí vězni.cz focuses on researching the political oppression of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia. Its members record the testimonies of former political prisoners and their families as well as other related stories. In addition to several publications, documentary films, and educational programs, the association managed to restore the educational trail Jáchymov’s hell and initiate the rescue of the Řetízkárna. One of the newest association activities are guided walks along the nature trail around Jáchymov.
