A brief introduction to the destination and its location in the Vysočina region

The Jihlava Underground is the second largest network of underground passages in the Czech Republic, right after the Znojmo Underground. It is located right in the heart of the city of Jihlava, which is an important historical center of the Vysočina region. This complex of underground passages is the result of connecting cellars that have been gradually excavated in the rock under the historic center of the city since the 13th century.

Emphasizing why the place is ideal for hotel visitors

For guests of the Hotel Sněžné, the Jihlava Underground is an ideal destination for a trip. The place offers not only an amazing historical atmosphere, but also a unique experience in the form of a tour of the phosphorescent corridor and other underground spaces. Moreover, it is easily accessible, whether by car or public transport, and represents a great opportunity to explore one of the most important underground complexes in the country.

What visitors can expect from a visit to this place

A visit to the Jihlava Underground is like a journey back in time. Walking through the narrow corridors, you can be transported to the Middle Ages, when beer, food and handicrafts were stored here. In addition to the historical value, visitors can also enjoy the unique atmosphere of the underground world, where various exhibitions, archaeological finds and, above all, a fascinating luminous corridor await them, which is a mystery even to scientists.

More detailed information about the place

The total length of the Jihlava Underground is an incredible 25 kilometers, part of which is open to the public. The corridors were created by gradually connecting the cellars of individual houses and extend up to 12 meters below the surface. The greatest rarity is the phosphorescent corridor, which is located at a depth of 11 meters. This corridor glows with a greenish light, a phenomenon that scientists have not yet fully explained.

Description of the place

The Jihlava Underground is a complex complex of corridors that stretches under the historic core of the city. The corridors were used for various purposes in the past - from storing goods to escape routes during the Thirty Years' War. An important part of the underground is the phosphorescent corridor, the walls of which are covered with a whitish coating that glows with a soft green light when illuminated.
