Dolni Vestonice Pub


Dolni Vestonice Pub - a "must visit" while in Dolni Vestonice village, just near the Museum. No one speaks anything but Czech, but ordinary sign language works well enough. The local beer is excellent.

However, the meal you get depends upon luck, pretty much, unless you speak Czech. We pointed to something on the menu, and the waitress tried to tell us what it was in Czech, which didn't work. We tried English, French and German, but to no avail.

Finally she brought from under the bar a huge glass jar full of pickled sausage and onion and saurkraut, so we agreed on that. The bread, onion and saurkraut was good, but the sausage is never going to set the world on fire.

Dolni Vestonice Museum ticket



The ticket to the museum is no ordinary ticket! It is a work of art all by itself.

Dolni Vestonice III

The Dolni Vestonice III Gravettian site lies on the eastern slope of the short blind valley (slope dell) between the sites I and II. The site was first observed by B.Klima at the end of 1960s and has been under excavation since the summer of 1993 by Petr Skrdla. Excavations yielded a collection of more then 500 pieces of stone artifacts (majority of which are made of silica from glacigene sediments), bone fragments, and decorative objects. The site consists of two different units (unit 1 and 2). Unit 2 is composed of two layers. Excavations will be continued.

For more information see: Skrdla, P., Cilek, V., Prichystal, A 1996: Dolni Vestonice III, excavations 1993-1995. Spisy Au AV CR v Brne, vol. 5, 173-190.
