the festival of the rose / " Rose von Krumau "
by globetrott
This festival is always held in JUNE - this year it was june 21st, 2003.
Better check out in advance, as all the streets will be rather crowded because of the many parades of the people in their traditional costumes.
BUT it is simply great to see all the wonderful costumes of course.

back in the street "Pivovarska" (close to the Museum of Marionettes) you may visit this old monastery with a nice garden around the buildings.
There are guided tours at certain times - but NO Photos may be taken !
In the beautiful southern...

In the beautiful southern Czech town of Cesky Krumlov, the Krèma Markéta restaurant behind the castle grounds was pretty cool. You have to walk through the castle grounds, pass the castle gardens, and enter the little building at the end. There's a big grill where you can see your food being cooked, and you are sitting on wooden tables in a very traditionally decorated room by a server also traditionally dressed. It was a great experience!
Like I mentioned before, the atmosphere made this restaurant great. You have to see it for yourself. I ordered the steak and my friend ordered the chicken. Both were great, but the menu item that surprised us was a spread to go on your bread. It looked like uncooked chicken, and at first tasted fishy. But, we soon found out that it was fat. Yum! (not).

The castle tower
by dinhyen
The brightly painted baroque castle tower is the most visible structure of Cesky Krumlov's skyline and accounts in no small part for town's surpassing loveliness. You can climb the wooden staircase to the top of the tower for a panoramic view of the splendid rooftops and the Vltava river below.
