Loket - close to Karlovy Vary / Karlsbad

by globetrott

Loket / Elbogen will make a great and interesting place for a short stop-over or even a longer vacation !The castle of Loket was built at a great stategical point on top of a rock, surrounded by about 90% by the deep valley of the river Ohre / Eger and in the old times there was only 1 small natural bridge to the town.Goethe came to Loket about 12 times - it was a distance of about 150 km south of his home in Weimar. Today it will take 4 hours maybe, in the old times it certainly was more than 1 day to travel by horse&carriage.You will still find some traces of Goethe in Loket:Hotel " Bily kun " (Weisses Roß / white horse), where Goethe celebrated his 74th birthday and where he proposed to a young lady named Baronesse Ulrike von Levetzow.Goethe was 74 and the young lady was 19......and she refused him.Goethe was very sad and never returned to West-Bohemia.Ulrike von Levetzow never got...

Kadan - 65km north-west of Prague

by globetrott

Kadan is a beautiful,small town, between Karlovy Vary and Teplice.Somehow this lovely town does not seem to belong to the landscape around it, that mostly looks like on the moon because of surface mining at most places.The townsquare of Kadan / Kaaden is beautifully surrounded by gothic, renaissance and baroque houses, most of them were recently restored and look simply great.There once was a double townwall with several gates. This townwall may be seen still at many places.In 1259 Kadan became " royal town " and in 1367 and 1374 Emperor Charles IV spent several weeks in Kadan ......For that reason there is an annual festivity, an " Emperor festivty / Kaiserfest For more infos and pics of Kadan - please click on my link below !

Hrensko - directely at the border to Germany

by globetrott

Hrensko / Hernskretschen is a small village directely on the border between Czechia and Germany, 10 Km north of the town DECIN and about 20 Km south-east of Dresden / GermanyIn the surroundigs of Hrensko you will find some really great wonders of nature : Pravcicka Brana / Prebischtor .You will need about 1,5 hours to walk a distance of 4 Km from the parking through the woods in order to get finally to Prebischtor.There you have to pay a small entrance-fee, before you are allowed to take a closer look or enter the restaurant.The best view on Pravcicka Brana / Prebischtor is from a rock opposite of it.You have to climb up lots of steps behind the restaurant in order to get to this great place.This natural arch is 21 meters high and 26 meters wide - the biggest of it's kind in Europe - only in the United States are some larger natural arches to be found.A big part of the importance of...

Decin - in the very north of Czechia

by globetrott

Decin is just a few Km south of the german border and in fact plenty of day-tourists come there by boats from Dresden/ Germany for cheap shoppingtours on the river Elbe ( Labe ).Decin / Tetschen has about 55000 inhabitans now and is in a hight of 135 meters above sea-level.High above the town of Decin / Tetschen the castle was built on top of a massive rock in 1790 by count Thun-Hohenstein.One of the best attractions of the castle is the rosary, built on a rather narrow, but long rock, decorated with plenty of sandstone-sculptures.There is a small hall at the entrance to the rosary. It is totally empty, but all the walls and the ceiling are covered by great frescos, reminding me a lot of baroque frescos in Italy.In the good old times of the castle it certainly was used as a ballroom.Please click on my picture and take a closer look at this excellent baroque fresco.Unfortunately I have no...

Chomutov / Komotau - 50km north-west of Prag

by globetrott

Chomutov / Komotau is a small town, situated in the north-west of Prague, directely on street Nr. 27 / E442 from Karlovy Vary to Teplice.Have a short stop-over and take a look at the lovely town-square !Chomutov has almost NO tourists yet, and prices are still very low !!When you drive through the landsape around Chomutov / Komotau - with a lot of a landscape looking like in the desert, because of surface-mining - you will be surprised to see such a lovely small village there, with arcades around the town-square.Almost all buildings on the main-square of Chomutov / Komotau will have such great arcades, where you may sit in the open air in a restaurant garden, and still be protected against the rain.Chomutov / Komotau dates back to the year 1252 and was founded as a posession of the "German Order / Deutscher Orden" The german Order was founded in order to support the crusades, build...

Litomerice - 60km north-east of Prague

by globetrott

Litomerice / Leimeritz is an interesting town, 60km north-east of Prague and rather close to Terezin / Theresienstadt.The most interesting part of Litomerice is certainly the townsquare with plenty of buildings dating back to the 15th century.Quite unique is the house with the black sgrafitti-decorations, it is a hotel today .You might need half a day in order to explore Litomerice and prices are still quite low in that part of Czechia.

Duchkov / Dux - the last home of CASANOVA

by globetrott

Duchcov castle / Schloss Dux was the place in Czechia, where CASANOVA spent the last 13 years of his life, writing his memoirs and working as a librarian for count Waldstein.What an end, Giacomo....And he is buried somewhere on the former cemetery of Duchcov, but only a small inscription on the churchwall shows the czech spelling of his name :Jakob Casanova The castle was built in the 16th century in Renaissance-style and in the 18th century the count of Waldstejn bought the castle and rebuilt it in Baroque-style according to plans by Jean Baptiste Mathey.Count Waldstein used to invite musicians, composers and other important people like Chopin,Bach,Beethoven,Haydn,Mozart, Goethe and the tzars Alexander I and Nikolaus I.Casanova came to Duchkov in 1785, and he became a good friend of count Waldstejn.Casanova was 60 years old at that time and he had plenty of troubles with his affairs at...
