Historic Underground

Medieval passage system under Slavonice's centre, toured with boots and a taste for damp stone.

Slavonice's underground passages run beneath the historic centre, part storage space, part drainage system, part reminder that wealthy old towns had practical problems too. Tours are seasonal and not a good idea if you dislike tight, damp spaces.

It is a useful counterpoint to the facades above. After looking at painted Renaissance houses in bright squares, descending into the narrow passages makes the town feel older and more physical.
