10. South Moravia: Telc and Slavonice

Blog entries, Locations
Moving into Moravia, Czech Republic’s eastern region, we enjoy the medieval square and palace of Telc and sgraffitoed Slavonice, as well as the mostly ruined Landstejn castle. The weather doesn’t help, today. It is time to move further east, towards Moravia, that other half of the Czech Republic. Unfortunately, it is not a good day [...]

09. South Bohemia: Trebon and Pelrhimov

Blog entries, Locations
A travel day, ever further east, brings us to the rural village of Holasovice and to Trebon, with its carp lakes, before ending up in Pelrhimov. A bit heavy on architecture, I am afraid. We decide to leave Prachatice early. It is a nice enough little town, and served us well as a base for [...]

08. Cesky Krumlov

Blog entries, Locations
Cesky Krumlov is indeed one of the nicest medieval towns in the country, but can, at least in July, only be viewed together with lots of other tourists. Billed as the most charming Medieval town of the Czech Republic, Cesky Krumlov is also – outside Prague, perhaps – the most touristic town in the country. [...]

07. South Bohemia: Pisek and Prachatice

Blog entries, Locations
Descending into Southern Bohemia, the most touristic province of the Czech Republic, we encouter the lovely towns of Pisek and Prachatice, but also the with tourits overflowing Zvikov castle and the Sumava National Park. We have established that, indeed, there are few foreign tourists in the Czech Republic, just as we envisaged. But that doesn’t [...]

06. the Czech Cubism movement

Blog entries
One of the surprises of this trip is the discovery of the Czech Cubism movement, which is spectacularly on view not only in various Prague museums, but also in some of the architecture. I had never heard about Cubism in the Czech Republic. And what do I know about Cubism, anyhow, other than that a [...]

05. the Corona regime

Blog entries
We went to the Czch Republic because of Corona, or rather, because of the resultant lack of tourists. But we hadn’t expected a total lack of Corona awareness, as well. When we planned our summer trip, we did consider various options. We chose for the Czech Republic because it is relatively close to our home [...]

Nove Mesto

Blog entries, Locations
Nove Mesto is the new town (as opposed to Stare Mesto, the old town), never mind it was established first in 1348. It runs from Republic Square south, via Vaclav Square – the most central place in Prague, perhaps – and further along the Vltava river, which is an especially attractive area when it comes [...]

Stare Mesto

Blog entries, Locations
Just because it is such a nice neighbourhood, I decided to post a few more photos of the old town of Prague, the Stare Mesto, and its main square, Staromestske Square, which I earlier called ‘easily the most attractive square in Prague’. The Stare Mesto stretches from the Karlov bridge east, to Republic Square. Further [...]

04. Prague

Blog entries, Locations
The wonderful Central European city of Prague oozes history from all its pores, medieval to recent, mostly expressed through its beautiful architecture. And all of that without so many tourists! What can I say about Prague that others haven’t said before me. Well, I will mention the Czech Cubist movement, of which I had never [...]

02. Loket

Blog entries, Locations
We base ourselves in the charming little Medieval town of Loket, to get acquainted with the Czech reality of pastel houses, cobbled streets and beer breweries, as well as monasteries and castles in the surroundings.
