Places

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.

Again one of my weekend trips to the castles in Czech Republic. This time I have chosen castle in the Pardubice Region of Eastern Bohemia called Nove Hrady. I have expected some large castle as I have read it should remind Austrian Schönbrunn. In the sense of shapes or architecture it can remotely reminiscent it but that all. This castle is much smaller, garden are beautiful, but one can walk through it in half an hour.

Not saying anything about this short photo set. I had few days off from work so I decided to visit place never been to.  It was a dull chilly day so I took few pictures from the bridge and went for a cup of coffee and cake to the nearby restaurant.

Having spent some time in Marianske Lazne I was driving in the near and far around. One day I decided to visit Loket castle. In the end this was a great journey as I did not drive there the shortest way and chosen way via the fields, villages. Looking back the journey itself was better than visit of the Loket castle itself. I enjoyed cattle by the road, especially staring cows and clouds gathering on the sky.

I have read many suggestions to visit this town. And one day I decided to travel there to see if all those suggestions are eligible. Before travelling I found this basic. “Telc is a town in the southern Czech Republic. It’s known for its Italian Renaissance architecture including the chateau, formerly a Gothic castle, with carved wood ceilings. The Highlands Museum includes a 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 finally chose a vacation and could go to relax a bit. This time the choice fell on Mariánské Lázně and Park Hotel Golf. Although the weather did not indicate any extra outdoor activities and nature walks, I did not mind how much the ordered procedures and the possibilities of the hotel offered a sufficient number of activities and distractions.

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.

Spilberk and Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul. If there is beautiful weather I like going out for a walk even to the well-known places I see almost every day. This time I visited Spilberk castle again and decided to walk down from the Castle towards the Cathedral. I walked down the alley most people use and stopped at few points to take pictures.
