The exhibition itself is very well designed with correct amount of information splited across the house rooms. A suggestion: in the first two rooms maybe subnumbers can be assigned to the objects so the photography lames can understand the tools mentioned in the audio guide.

Fortunately for me, the Bohemian Forest in the mists ;-) (fogs) was just a book concept... When we were visiting Chalupskou Slať, we were accompanied by sunny weather. The easy trail on the flat, also suitable for wheelchair users. Rare plant species, a peat lake. You can leave your bikes in front of the information centre.

This cobblestone market square, one of the largest in Europe, is lined with magnificent baroque buildings and 18th-century arched and barrel-vaulted arcades. The Fountain of Sampson stands in the square's center.

This is a great town square, it's within walking distance to great restaurants, parks, the winter stadium with ice-skating as well as a ten-minute walk to a mall with cinema's etc... You won't find McDonalds or KFC here, they're also walking distance if you need them, rather this square remains a very authentic Czech hub, which is widely utilised by the locals and not as much of a theme park as many other city centres. There are regular markets held in and around the square and they have a fantastic Christmas market too. If you're with children, there is a great large play area in the park, less than 5 minutes walk away, next to an indoor and outdoor swimming pool with water slides etc... for the summer. There are outdoor movie theatres, the planetarium and of course pubs with beer gardens, serving local and international cuisine and loads of Czech beers. Language can sometimes be a challenge for more complicated conversations, but I find that most Czechs in the hospitality industry will understand food and drink orders and the younger the person, the more likely they are to have a good grasp of English as there are now a whole host of English Language schools in the area. Overall the City and the Square are off the main tourist routes, but all the more authentic for that.

If you find yourself in Cesky Krumlov and want to take a break from the in-town sightseeing and crowds, this moderate half-day hike is well worth it! I did the hike on relatively hot/humid Sunday in late August and the small restaurant on top was open so a great opportunity to grab a quick lunch and cold drinks. The Klobasa I ordered was deer sausage and quite tasty and went well with the local Czech beer. As to the hike, here is my experience: 1. The hike took about 4 hours, just under 2 hours uphill and about 1.5 downhill with a half hour lunch break. It was about an 11 mile round trip hike from the Cesky Krumlov town square. There was very little foot traffic on the hike, so it was mostly solitude. 2. Most of the hike is on paved road, then gravel road, and finally about the last 1.5 miles being through the woods on a wooded, dirt forest trail. The last few miles of the hike are very steep and probably not something you want to do after it has rained as would be slippery. 3. As mentioned in an earlier post, the starting point where you start seeing the trail markers (green strip between two white stripes) is just after the train station. Once you start seeing them (there are sufficient numbers to keep you from getting lost and at every decision point such as right or left), just follow them and they will guide you through any forks in the trail or turns all the way up to the backside of the facility on top of Klet Mountain. Also, follow any large arrows you will encounter and they are usually accompanied by a trail marker to verify that is what it is for. Prior to the train station, you will not see much directional info, if any at all. The Tourist Info office in the town square can provide a map of the trail route, but it is really only useful for the twists and turns as the trail markings are all you need.

This is in a beautiful location overlooking a large reservoir. Low Cost paid parking is above the castle. Walking down and back up may be a challenge for some. The castle itself is beautiful and well maintained/restored. The tour is definitely worth it! So much history. The former habitants were avid hunters and there are many trophies and guns on display. You are not given access or views to all rooms but the tour is still wonderful. There is small food/drink station near the parking area which is a nice spot to rest and cool off after climbing the hill. There is a great beach that is also available that many enjoyed.
