We started today,
Friday, with breakfast at 7:30am as usual, and then with a departure at 8:30am.
We had a long drive a head of us. 3 hours to be exact! But since it was early
we more or less all fall asleep while listening to our music.
We arrived to South
Bohemia; Češky Krumlov at around 12:00am and first had lunch. The food was good
and the restaurant was in the very heart of the city centre. The atmosphere was
great.
After lunch we got
some free time; we could either go up to the castle or look around the town. It
was truly beautiful and magnificent. This town, Češky Krumlov is a part of the
World Cultural Heritage and we really saw why. The town was small but filled
with beautiful archaic buildings, narrow streets and beautiful small shops.
One of the favourite
parts of the city for me was a small garden/viewing point. You could see the
whole city and castle from it and it was so beautiful and breath-taking.
Visiting this place
was truly an amazing experience. After spending about 3 hours there, we got
back to our busses and drove for another 30minutes to get to the Village
Holašovice.
Village Holašovice is
also a part of the World Cultural Heritage. When we arrived, Jan explained that
the village was build in the 13th century. The houses were built in
the barok style. Why its so interesting is, because the main reason they were
build was for farmers to ‘show off’ and compete who had more money. Around the
16th century almost all of them died and since then it has been a
special place. Today it has only 140 people living there.
Village Holašovice
is so beautiful and special, because every house was more or less the same, but
at the same time it had so many little details that made them original and
different from the others.
After that, we head
back to Pilsen, had dinner and went for a short walk around the city before
going to bed.
