Places

Mikulov is a town on the way to Austria. And anybody travelling from Brno to Vienna have to pass it. City is not very big, but it is famous for its wine, brothels and a castle. The Mikulov castle cannot be overlooked and many people passing through this town come and visit it.
One day I did the same, parked the car in the centre and went up a small hill to visit the castle. As a building it is nothing exceptional, however garden is beautiful similarly as views from around the castle.

Podebrady Spa is a small town or a city with Spa. I have visited it some time ago. To be honest I do not remember this place very well, as it was not exceptional to me. What I remember most is I took most of the pictures during the rain. For example I took pictures of Podebrady Castle from the opposite bank. Luckily rain drops are not so visible.

Ruined Castle Rabi  - During a short visit to my native city Klatovy I have made a trip to a nearby village Rabí to see the ruined castle of the same name. Even though the weather was not ideal and the sky was flat, no clouds, just fog, appearing from time to time, some pictures are really beautiful. To get better ones I need to plan way back and get pictures with the much better sky to see the beauty of the castle and the village itself.

Ruined castle are somehow interesting. The feeling when you pass by damaged, ruined walls, feeling of the history. One of the ruined castles visited is Cimburk. It is situated in the forest. Walk to its premises takes some time and effort. As soon as you enter the gate there are displayed ruins. At the moment being rebuilt.

Boskovice castle in winter, it is called castle but in reality is almost a ruin. Better say it is a ruin of old Castle. Next to this ruin is also a Chateau, however at the time of my visit it was closed so I took steep journey up to the castle and enjoyed beautiful view into the valley and forest. As the Boskovice castle was closed as well I just took few pictures of the walls, towers and near surrounding.

Visit in Trebon - have you ever had a sense of feeling you arrive to some place fort the first time in your life and after few moments you think have lived there for years? I experienced such a feeling when visited Trebon for the first time. I was happy to see small city with lanes, water, parks and great architecture.

The Punkva Caves (Czech: Punkevní jeskyně) are a cave system of the Czech Republic located north of the city of Brno, near the town of Blansko. The Punkva River flows through it. Part of it is the Macocha Gorge, its sinkhole is about 138.7 meters deep and also the deepest of its kind (light hole type) in Central Europe.

Everyone have some favorite places connected with his childhood or some life experience. Whenever I visit my native town I like to make small round to visit places I have someone connected with my past. Thus I like walking around Klatovy Black tower, Evangelical church especially its background where are great stone stairs with stone carved railing. As soon as I visit these I like walking or riding outside the city to places where I played or ride a bike as a small boy. Photos are not so interesting but they are of great value to me.

I have visited Marianske Lazne for second time this year. This time I visited this famous Spa in autumn and accommodated in different part of the city to all my previous visits.

Cathedral of St Peter and Paul Brno. I am passing by this city dominant almost daily, however, only recently I found the right angle to take a photo of its full beauty without tram wires, except the road signs and other distractions. Apart from these great shots I was passing by again at night and took few more pictures. Thus comparison among different light levels can be done.
