August 28: Discover Prague From a Steam Train!

The unforgettable atmosphere of travelling by a steam train and unique views of the capital are worth trying! From the Smíchov railway station, the train goes to the Prokop Valley. The canyon in it reaches depths of up to 70 meters and it was created by erosion during the last million years. Up to the station of Rudná u Prahy, we go on the track nicknamed “Humpbacked”. From Hostivice to Smíchov, the train runs along the route of the former Buštěhrad line which exceeds an altitude difference of 150 meters. Thanks to its profile, the surrounding natural scenery, and two historical viaducts, the track has earned the name “Prague Semmering”. The name Semmering is derived from the very first mountain railway in Europe – built in the Austrian Alps in the 19th century. The final section of the journey allows you to admire the legendary Vyšehrad rock and the plain of Pankrác with modern buildings. From the railway bridge across the Vltava river, you will also be delighted with the city’s spectacular skyline crowned by the majestic Prague Castle. History In the years 1868 to 1872, the company Buštěhradská dráha had a section connecting the then-known Smíchov Common Railway Station and Hostivice...

World’s Deepest Underwater Cave Just Got… a Bit Deeper

The world’s deepest, flooded freshwater sinkhole—the Hranice Abyss in the in the Přerov District in the Olomouc Region—has now measured a little bit deeper, according to new data. A recent expedition to the cave in the Czech Republic found that it measures at least 1,476 feet deep, according to a press release. Scientists have previously only guessed at the sinkhole’s depth. The new measurements exceeded previous estimates in 2016, of 1,325 feet under water level. Scientists were able to gauge the actual measurements by using a robot that was lowered into the sinkhole’s depths. The Hranice Abyss is actually thought to be deeper than this. However, scientists have still not managed to reach the bottom of the sinkhole, due to technology limitations. During the expedition, scientists also gathered more data on the shape of the hole. From this they were able to draw up a 3D map of its depths, CT24 reported. This was done using a smaller robot, installed with six cameras and sonar beams. “The most important thing for us is that we managed to create a map backed by data. We can see from it that the Border Gap is one huge hole that leads vertically down; at 450 meters...

Tábor: A Fascinating Journey Into Times Past

Tábor is an easy day trip from Prague (by train or by bus), and it is a fascinating journey into times past. The city was founded as a commune in 1420, when the Hussite Wars were in full and brutal swing. Two Hussites, Jan Bydlínský of Bydlín and Petr Hromádka of Jistebnice, were the co-founders. They were members of a Hussite faction that came to be known, not surprisingly, as the Taborites. Tábor (which, in Czech, means “camp”) was the place in which legendary Hussite general Jan Žižka trained farm workers to become skilled soldiers, using the brilliant tactic of repurposing farm tools – the tools which the men were used to handling – into weapons of war. Žižka never lost a battle, and the commune thrived. When anyone joined the group at Tábor, that person threw all of his or her worldly goods onto a common heap and went to work for the good of the community. The Taborites steadfastly refused to acknowledge the authority of the King of Bohemia, even though King (and Holy Roman Emperor) Sigismund granted it the status of a royal town in 1437. The town remained unconquered until 1452, when George of Podĕbrady (in...

Airport Chaos: European Travel Runs into Pandemic Cutbacks

Got European travel plans this summer? Don’t forget to pack your passport, sunscreen and plenty of patience. After two years of pandemic restrictions, travel demand has roared back, but airlines and airports that slashed jobs during the depths of the COVID-19 crisis are struggling to keep up. With the busy summer tourism season underway in Europe, passengers are encountering chaotic scenes at airports, including lengthy delays, canceled flights and headaches over lost luggage. Schiphol, the Netherlands’ busiest airport, is trimming flights, saying there are thousands of airline seats per day above the capacity that security staff can handle. Dutch carrier KLM apologized for stranding passengers there this month. London’s Gatwick and Heathrow airports are asking airlines to cap their flight numbers. Discount carrier easyJet is scrapping thousands of summer flights to avoid last-minute cancellations and in response to caps at Gatwick and Schiphol. North American airlines wrote to Ireland’s transport chief demanding urgent action to tackle “significant delays” at Dublin’s airport. Nearly 2,000 flights from major continental European airports were canceled one week this month, with Schiphol accounting for nearly 9%, according to data from aviation consultancy Cirium. A further 376 flights were canceled from U.K. airports, with Heathrow accounting...
