Český Krumlov Castle

In the afternoon, I had a tour of Český Krumlov Castle. As part of tradition, the bears from the bear moat are eventually preserved and turned into rugs or statues. This practice dates back to the first bears brought to Český Krumlov and continues to this day as a way to memorialize the bears.

The castle grounds also contain a garden, where I spent a little more than an hour, just sitting and reading. It was gorgeous, with benches to sit and relax, and it was a lovely way to pass the time before our dinner reservation.

I had a delicious elderflower lemonade and tried a traditional Czech dessert. It consists of a ball of dough, covered in cinnamon sugar, and filled with fruit. We had ones with plums inside but another common fruit to find is blueberries.Leggi altro
