Trebic - 50 km west of Brno / Brünn

by globetrott

Trebic is just about 50 Km west of Brno and you will pass by it on your way to Telc.Watch out for the great cathedral and the old monastery around it - on my pic you see one of the entrance-gates to the monastery !In town you may as well see a nice townsquare with a lovely building, covered all over with a sgrafitto-decoration.These houses are always quite interesting, as many of them tell the history of the villages you pictures in the facades.You may get to Trebic by train or by car ,using road # 23

Pelhrimov - 80 km west of Brno

by globetrott

Pelhrimov / Pilgram is a good excample of an interesting town, not to be found in many guide-books and still interesting in many ways:I found it accidentally, when a deviation forced me to side-roads and I was searching for a place to safely park my motorhome and spend the night.On main square you will see plenty of great buildings dating back to the Renaissance and Baroque.2 of the medieval towngates are still to be seen and the former castle is a museum now.On the church-clock, shown in the centre of my self-made-postcard, the 2 men will hit the bell each quater of the hour.On mainsquare you will find an excellent and still really cheap bakery !You may take the train in order to get to Pelhrimov / Pilgram or you drive road # 34 / E 551
