Ceský KrumlovA small medieval town in Southern Bohemia, Ceský Krumlov is one
of the most picturesque in the Czech Republic, nestled in the
S-bend of the River Vltava and dominated by the fairytale Chateau
on the ridge overlooking the town. Its appearance has remained
unchanged since the 18th century and it is a delight to wander
through the traffic-free old town with its cobbled lanes,
ramshackle red-tiled roofs and lopsided colourful houses providing
many picture postcard opportunities. The Castle on the hill, greatly enriched by the Italian
Renaissance style, has fine views of the town setting with covered
walkways, courtyards and terraced gardens where theatre and music
productions are held. Since the town was designated a UNESCO World
Heritage Site in 1992, the summer months have become somewhat
crowded. It is no longer a sleepy secret but a buzzing tourist
haven. |
