 Cervena Lotha - north-east of
C.Budejovice by globetrott
This castle is often used by local people for their wedding-photos and it dates back to the 14th century.
Around the castle there is a small lake and a large wood with plenty of hiking-paths.
You may visit the castle inside daily except on mondays and the interior you will see dates back mainly to the 17th and 18th century.
The road to Cervena Lotha is quite small and sometimes confusing because of missing signposts. Leave a Comment

Prague by globetrott
In Cesky Krumlov / Böhmisch Krumau you may see a huge castle, a river going around the town in a strange cercle and a lot more things that made sure, this places became one of the UNESCO - places of "World heritage".
Cesky Krumlov was built at a very special place :

The castle consists of 40 buildings with a total of 300 rooms.
5 courts and a large baroque garden are waiting to be explored.
You might need the whole day to visit the castle-interior, the tower and the parks.
When walking through C.Krumlov you will be surprised to see the big variety of unique architecture fitting togeather perfectely, although they are completely different.
lots of different styles,fassades and colors make a perfect medieval and Baroque town.
Once a year - around june 15th - they have a big festivity called "The rose of Krumau" and all of the town will be the stage for a medieval market with thousands of people in medieval costumes etc.

 Ceske Budejovice - 100km south
of Prague by globetrott
The main square of Ceske Budejovice is one of the biggest squares of Europe.
There is a great fountain in the middle and lots of wonderful baroque buildings around the square.
On all the square you may find only houses with arcades for easy and dry shopping, even when it is raining.
And of course, many of the restaurants and cafes also have a part of their guest-gardens inside these arcades.
The townhall of Ceske Budejovice is quite impressive and looks great in its very special kind of architecture.
The black tower is visible from almost every place and street in town, and might help you, when you are lost at night - after a few glasses of the famous local beer...
And you may also step up the plenty steps to get the great view over the town and the square.
Not far from the square you will see a museum for old motorcycles.
Just 8 Km north of Ceske Budejovice you may visit Hluboka nad Vltavou - one of the most beautiful castles of the whole area.
The castle of the 13th century was rebuilt in Tudor-style in order to look similar to Windsor castle.
The interior is simply breath-taking !

 Hluboka nad Vltavou - 10km
west of Budweis by globetrott
Later-on it was rebuilt several times and finally bought in 1661 by Jan Adolf I. von Schwarzenberg ( 1615-1685 ).
The Schwarzenberg family had German and Dutch origin - this might be one of the reasons, why you see so plenty of great Dutch paintings and tapisseries inside the castle.
Jan Adolf II. von Schwarzenberg ( 1779-1888) and his wife Eleonora ( von Liechtenstein ) was a great politician and used to travel often to England and finally decided to rebuild their castle in Tudor-style, similar to Windsor castle.
And also the park around the castle reminds a lot of the famous english parks : In 1851 more than 11000 trees were planted, and plenty of them are still to be seen in the park around the castle, beeing almost as high as the castle today.

 Trebon / Wittingau - not far
from C.Budejovice by globetrott
Trebon is mainly known for its carps, growing up in the many lakes around town.
For the tourists they have a perfect baroque townsquare, a lovely castle and great possibilities for hiking and easy biking in the flat landscape.
Right in the centre of town the castle of Trebon was built by italian architects in 1562 for the Rosenberg-family.
In 1660 it became a property of the Schwarzenberg family, who rebuilt a part of the castle.
The big castle with a total of 4 courts has only a few rooms that are worth seeing for the ordinary tourists, some rooms are used as a gallery today, and the biggest part of the castle holds the state-archives and old documents of the Rozemberk-family.
At a few places you may still see the original medieval town-wall and moat of Trebon / Wittingau.
