I recently discovered that a report of our visit to Cesky Krumlov never made it to this blog. \u00a0So two years after the fact here it is. \u00a0This World Heritage Site is probably the Czech Republic’s second best known city and well deserving of its reputation as a “must see” place. \u00a0You can reach it by train but we chose the Student Agency bus as more\u00a0convenient.<\/p>\n

I have selected a few photos to show here but as they are winter time shots they do not do justice to the charm of this well preserved town. \u00a0I urge you read Karin’s captions in our five–yes five albums for our three day visit–photo albums to catch the atmosphere of this place that will in turn catch you. \u00a0Literally everyone falls in love with Cesky Krumlov!<\/p>\n

My favourite quote from Karin is “Cesky Krumlov brings to life the fairy tales of our youth.”<\/p>\n

\"Cesky

Castle with five courtyards dominates the town<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Old

Old town from the castle<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Cesky

Store fronts below the castle<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Czech

Czech food in a Czech setting<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Old

Under the bridge that is the main gate into old town<\/p><\/div>\n

So, if you would like to fall in love with Cesky Krumlov, continue to Karin’s personalised photo albums at Cesky Krumlov Old Town Part 1<\/a><\/p>\n
