Programmes for schools

Children have always belonged to the Holy Mountain. Without them, Holy Mountain would not have come into being:

If it had not been for the willingness of the boy who led his blind uncle Jan Procházka by the hand to the then unknown Svatá Hora, Procházka would not have been healed and the beautiful complex would not have come into being. In the "Touch and Discover" programme, designed for the youngest visitors, there are various ways for them to "see" - to notice the beauty that our ancestors left for us and for them.

These programmes are not only for schools, but also for children's or youth groups.
