Painted and Historic Churches – Tour A
Fayette & Colorado Counties

This is an eight-hour tour.

Visit 6 painted and historic Czech and German churches in small and ghost towns such as Praha, Freyburg, High Hill, Ammannsville, Dubina, and Weimer. 

Snacks, such as strudel and kolaches are at one restaurant and lunch is in an all-you-can-eat German style restaurant, both in Schulenburg. 

All of the churches are in Fayette County except the Weimar church that is in Colorado County. 

Four of the churches are considered Painted Churches.
