Upcoming Projects: Just north of České Budějovice, in the middle of a forest near Hosín, Hrdějovice, and Borek, lies a former kaolin mine. It will soon be rediscovered by the general public. A new tour route and an information center will be created at this unique engineering site, and the entire project will also help protect local bat population.
