Overview

Discover the living tradition of Czech glass on a private journey from Prague to the Crystal Valley. Around Nový Bor, centuries-old glassmaking—recognized by UNESCO—continues in workshops whose creations are admired by collectors, designers, and filmmakers around the world.

Visit three studios: Novotný Glass, the renowned glassworks of Jiří Pačinek, and Filip Lukavec’s glass-cutting workshop. Meet glassmakers and a glass cutter, hear about their work, and watch molten glass being blown and shaped just a few feet away. See finished pieces cut, engraved, and polished with remarkable precision.

Continue to the Crystal Garden, where colorful sculptures blend with the natural surroundings. Then enjoy an à-la-carte lunch and a special beer for glassmakers at Cvikov Craft Brewery.
