german_eagle Says: The full name of the church is: Roman-Catholic church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. Ugh.Emperor Franz II himself gave permission to build this church in 1812. The works started in 1815 and were completed in 1820. This church is one of the few absolutely empire sacral...

german_eagle Says: The Glaub Salt springs are very important for the spa treatments in this town. Guests drink this mineral water - it is good if one has problems with digestion. Two Glauber Salt springs were encased in 1919 and 1921 - that's when this hall was built. The architecture is quite...

Helpfulness
I saw this restaurant at the right time, when it was time for lunch. They have a nice terrace which - as a non-smoker - I preferred over the large inside room which had a distinctive smell. Ugh.
Service was quick and attentive. Menu was available in Czech and German.
Favorite Dish: I had baked cheese with French fries, some salad and spicy dip. Quite good, always a safe bet in the Czech Republic. Once in Bohemia I decided to have a beer, the *original* Budweiser (Budvar), which is in a different league compared to the American brew of the same name. All in all I paid about 140 CZK (roughly 5 or 6 Euro) incl. tip.
