Medieval Cezky Kromulov

Medieval Cezky Kromulov

Stray

Czech Republic is blessed with

so much beauty, culture and history.

Visiting this lovely country is like

traveling back in time…

We booked for a tour for Cezky Kromulov

on our fourth day in Prague.

It was a two hour trip by Bus...

...and virtually followed the scenic  trail

of the Vltava River from Prague….

We arrived at the Cesky Kromulov a

little earlier than expected,

We had a bird’s eye view of the town

at an elevated viewing deck…

We were amazed on how beautiful

and ancient the place was.

The town grew up within 

a meander of the Vltava river,

...and has retained its entire medieval layout

and most of its historic buildings intact.

The architecture  of this medieval town

 Was more Gothic Romanesque

Which differentiates it  from the more elaborate

Gothic and Renaissance buildings

of the 12^th and 13th century Prague…

…and the intricately decorated buildings of

the glorious 18^th to 19^th century Victorian era

in the resort Town of Carlovy Vary...

It was like being in a time warp

When the world was in the middle ages...

….of narrow cobbled streets-

…authentic medieval buildings

converted to shops and hotels...

…rustic wooden bridges…

…yummy native pastries 

and pretzels,

And the huge- old  UNESCO heritage 
Cesky Kromulov Castle.

Being in Český Krumlov is like being taken back 

in the Middle Ages’ small town...

 ...as the structures and buildings

dating back to the medieval times-

....are relatively undisturbed

 for over some five centuries.

Restoration has been slight-

and it  is an  authentic  example

of a perfectly  preserved old  townscape.

Restaurace Maštal

Maštal Restaurant is located

right at the town center

…and housed in a really old building

that used to be an animal shelter

in the Middle Ages…

It was renovated into a beautiful restaurant

but preserved most of what was an animal stall

 …and the feeding tubs in the room

where the animals are kept on winter

are still intact.

They served great

traditional Czech cuisine..

...and had one of the best

Minestrone soup in town…

 My son ordered a Chicken dish with potatoes

Which he liked and ate it without prodding

While the rest of us order a Trout dish

cooked the traditional Czech way.

The food at Maštal was superb-

and is a perfect place to dine-

... as you are surrounded  

with the medieval ambiance-

...that only a real middle age town 

of Cesky Kromulov can provide
