CESKY KRUMLOV | Perfect Town in the Czech Republic

[@bangkok_as_is]

man, the music you're using in this video is a perfect match for the cellar, labyrinth footage, nailed it, gabriel 👍🏻

[@ValentinaMitchell1]

The music really moved me and it felt like I was watching a movie at the cinema!

[@ageoflove1980]

Wow killing it with the uploads. Got to say, you are kind of selling it. Been to the Czech Republic only once many years ago and just seen Prague. But the landscape and smaller towns do seem really nice. What draws me is how layed back and chill the vibe is there. You know, normal people, normal prices, good public transportation. Would love to go hiking here for a couple of weeks. They probably have some decent trails here and there.

[@spacedog_80]

Hiking in the Czech Republic is really good. All trails are well marked and the country has one of the densest networks of hiking trails in the world thanks to the Czech Hiking Club since 1888. The markers look the same in the entire Czech Republic, and the colours have been chosen for a reason: red stands for distance and summit trails, blue for significant trails, green for local trails, and yellow for short or interconnecting trails. The distance is given in kilometres.

[@spacedog_80]

Cesky Krumlov is also known for the typical Czech summer ritual of rafting or canoyeing the Vltava river from Vyssi Brod all the way down to Cesky Krumlov and beyond. It takes about 2 days and along the way you will see floating boat bars in the middle of the river where you can buy beer and other beverages straight from your canoe or raft. There are also river camping places and open summer pubs with food along on the shore. Basically a kind of river tramp adventure.If you're in Cesky Krumlov I would also suggest to visit the little town of Rožmberk nad Vltavou upstream. It's also very picturesque and less than 30 min drive from Cesky Krumlov.

[@ErvuJukl]

Sorry, but I afraid of water a bit. No swim good

[@Pidalin]

@@ErvuJukl you don't really need to be good in swimming on a river which has like 50 cm of water 😀

[@ErvuJukl]

@@Pidalin I don't swim, but you vomit after a glass of beer?

[@Pidalin]

@@ErvuJukl Depends what glass, if it's some 14-18° sepcial, then yes, one glass can be enough, when it's pilsner urquel style (12°), than 3-4 glasses are mostly enough, but when I have headache or empty stomach, 2 glasses can be already too much. But ofcourse one glass in Europe means half liter, not a pint. 🙂 The thing is that most of Czechs drink from like 12 years old and they are really used to drink every day, so their bodies are already deformed by that amount of alcohol, for normal people who are not used to it, it's not that easy to handle alcohol. My father for example drinks like 100 beers every month (maybe even more) and he can have 10 glasses and he can still walk and he doesn't vomit, so it's really about what you are used to, you have to drink a lot to get used to it like that.

[@Pidalin]

@@ErvuJukl BTW, I always prefer when I have freedom to not drink when I am at concert or music festival, you will definitely enjoy it better when you are not drunken, but with some people, it's just not possible in this stupid country where everyone is alcoholic. That's why I switched from music festivals to events like Comic-Con, because nobody is drunken there and it's much better atmoshere then, you don't vomit, nobody else vomits and you can talk with people and they remember you. I am not saying I am not visiting music festivals now, but most of people you meet there are drunken and they are lauging just becuase they are drunken, when you meet them again, you realize you have nothing in common with them and you have nothing to say them, I prefer real friends who speak with you even when there is no alcohol around.

The effect in which the walls at timestamp 8:35 are painted is called trompe l'oeil, which literally means to trick or to deceive the eye. The actual technique applied on these walls is called Sgraffito: applying layers of plaster with contrasting colours.

that's not sgraffito, that's fresco painting.

I don't know about sgraffito, but it looks like trompe l'oeil to me.

To není kořist z válek, naopak, z Čech toho bylo spoustu ukradeno, hlavně Švédy a nacisty, není to úplně tak dávno, ještě před 1. Světovou válkou, jsme měli krále a císaře...málo lidí nebo jen studovaných ví o velké české historii, to že nás okupovali rusové ví spousta lidí a házela nás do východní evropy, ale to že jsme měli hlavní slovo ve volbě císaře ví málokdo. Na čechách ve středověku moc záleželo, říkalo se kdo ovládá čechy ovládá tak evropu. Jsme uprostřed Evropy, sice jsme slované nebo to alespoň tvrdí, ale víc máme společného s Německem, Lichnštejnskem, lucemburskem než z východními zeměmi, stačí se podívat na mapu evropy, Praha je západněji než třeba Vídeň. Do ruska to je hodně daleko, chvála bohu

Orinda, Ca has Tabor as its sister city and I visited their Medieval Festival held there in September. It’s a pleasant town which has lots of former students from Miramonte and Campolindo High Schools and town is celebrated at Orinda 4th of July.
