Channel Description:

Český Krumlov is simply amazing! Surrounded by rolling countryside and the wooded Šumava Hills, the old town - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - nestles in a bend of the Vltava river. For more than 600 years its fortunes were inseparable from those of the aristocratic families residing in the castle: the Lords of Krumlov, the Rožmberks, the Eggenbergs and finally the Schwarzenbergs, who were not driven out until after World War II. The town is dominated by two national cultural landmarks: the castle and the Gothic church of St. Vitus. The castle is the second largest in the Czech Republic (after Prague Castle). Český Krumlov Chamber Music Festival (in June). This is a festival of chamber music, which has taken place since 1987. Getting there: organized excursion, or by bus from Florenc station (by train it is quite slow).Recommended time at location: 3 hours or stay overnight (one of the best choices if you would like to spend one or two days outside Prague).
