Red Gabled Roofs And Cobbled Streets...

Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic
November, 2016

A hilltop castle, red gabled roofs, cobbled streets, and bridges elegantly crossing the Vlatava River…and you have arrived at the fairytale town of Cesky Krumlov.  Established by the Lords of Krumlov in 1250, this wonderfully picturesque spot was
an important stopping point for merchants traveling to Italy, becoming a wealthy trading center between the 14th and 16th centuries and much favored by European nobles. A UNESCO World Heritage Site that takes the visitor back into medieval days, one cannot help but be charmed by the beautifully preserved buildings, courtyards, gardens, and, yes, even a moat surrounding the Cesky Krumlov Castle.
