Kutná Hora is a town that smells of history, architecture and silver, but also of chlorine! And that’s a good thing, because in this city you can not only admire the ossuary and St. Barbara’s Cathedral, but also enjoy a good swim at the modern swimming complex. The Kutná Hora Swimming Pool is the perfect place to escape the heat, boredom, or tourists who bombard you with selfies featuring the cathedral.
Where to go swimming
You’ll find the swimming pool right in Kutná Hora, just a short walk from the centre, but tucked away in a quiet spot, so you can enjoy a swim or sunbathe in peace. You can drive there and park conveniently right next to the complex. If you’re eco-conscious and prefer to take the train, just get off at the “Kutná Hora město” station and walk or take local public transportation. The signs will lead you to the entrance.
A hike with views of UNESCO sites
The Kutná Hora swimming pool is a modern facility that offers both outdoor and indoor areas. So whether it’s summer or winter, you can enjoy the water here all year round. An indoor pool offering 26 metres of aquatic fun. You can get in a good workout here, teach your little one to swim, or just relax in the water. Plus, there are water slides and great spots for sunbathing outside. What if you get bored of the pool? The complex also features a relaxation area, massage services, a fitness studio, a children’s paddling pool, and – during the summer season – an outdoor terrace where you can lie back and pretend you’re at the beach (only with a view of Barbara instead of palm trees).
You definitely won’t go hungry here. At the local snack bar, you can grab a light bite after your swim – or maybe an ice cream, which you deserve even without having worked up a sweat.
Where to sail next
And now for the best part – this isn’t just a swimming pool; it’s your ticket to one of the most beautiful cities in the Czech Republic. Just a short walk from the swimming pool, you can continue racing on go-karts or the bobsled track. Take a walk to St. Barbara’s Cathedral, check out the Jesuit College, get lost in the narrow streets of the historic centre, or grab a coffee with a view of the city skyline.
