The serene beauty of nature is captured in two distinct settings: horses peacefully grazing in the meadow and ducks gracefully by the pond. Each scene presents its own picturesque charm, showcasing the innate elegance and tranquillity of these animals.

I have visited this place during my latest holiday spent in Marianske Lazne SPA. Bor is a castle in the town of the same name in the Tachov district. And the day I visited it was extremely misty from the early morning until the late afternoon. I have started visit of the castle from the nearby park with a pond. When approaching to the castle inhabitants of this pond came out from the nearby bushes and started to shout at me.

Exploring castles is a favourite pastime for many people, and the author of this text is no exception. Their latest weekend trip took them to the Pardubice Region of Eastern Bohemia, where they visited the castle of Nove Hrady.

The author of this text recently took advantage of a few days off from work to visit a new place they had never been to before – the Cesky Sternberk castle. While they don't go into detail about the photos they took during their visit, they do mention that the weather was dull and chilly, which may have affected their mood and experience.

When I finally arrived at Loket castle, I was greeted by a breath-taking view of the castle perched on a hill overlooking the town below. The castle's imposing stone walls and towers rose up against the cloudy sky, creating a dramatic scene that was perfect for photography.

Telc is a picturesque town located in the southern part of the Czech Republic, known for its beautiful Italian Renaissance architecture. The town was originally built around a Gothic castle, which was later transformed into a chateau with intricately carved wood ceilings. One of the most notable attractions in Telc is the Highlands Museum, which includes a detailed model of the city.

Trip in Austria on the River Danube. One day I have bought short boat trip on the River Danube in Austria. To my mind organisation was little bit chaotic as we get off the bus, get on the boat and vice versa for several times. However to sum up. We have sailed few kilometres having watched vineyards, fields along the river. We have seen few old castles built on the top of the hills, saw interesting churches, camps etc.

A few weeks ago, I was in dire need of a vacation to unwind and recharge. After much contemplation, I chose to visit Mariánské Lázně, a charming spa town located in the western region of the Czech Republic. I was fortunate enough to secure a room at the Park Hotel Golf, a luxury hotel that offered an array of activities and treatments.

Wooden nativity scene on the square, Klatovy. It is said that Klatovy has a new pride in their square, a life-size wooden nativity scene. And yes, when I came here, I went to see it. Nativity scene, it's really nice, nicely crafted, and handmade like everything with us… I took a few photos and they seemed good to me, but what about that life size? I don't know, I don't know, it's like a new-born baby, maybe the ox.

A short visit to the royal town of Klatovy and a walk through the summer "dug-out" town. But even so, the peeling old buildings have their charm and at least the fountain in the square was in operation. The rest maybe next time.
