Rooftops of Cesky Krumlove

My travels this year took me to the Czech Republic, and to Budapest in Hungary. In between those two places I also had the added pleasure of visiting Cesky Krumlove, a castle city in the southwest corner of the Czech Republic. This city has reserved its medieval center as no other town in the region, and for that reason is was accepted into the 1992 register of UNESCO monuments of world significance. This photo was captured from the balcony of our room in the Dovark Hotel. The castle was directly across us on the banks of the Vltava River. It is also the home of Eggenberg Beer which was produced in a monastery by the monks. Right next to them was the nunnery. Legend says that there were a lot of births in the nunnery. In any event the beer was great. If you are going to be traveling in this area this is a town to visit. To see a larger image you can double click on the photo.
