Our next planned destination was Brno, the Czech Republic’s second city. Our trusty ACSI list informed us the closest campsite was 10km up river situated on the banks of a reservoir, sounds nice huh? And I’m sure it was, however it appears it is no longer there. One thing we can say with certainty, is that it is not up the red marked trail which continues on beyond where the road itself ends. We can also reliably state that performing turns in the road (or path) with a steep drop one side and jagged rock face the other is no mean feat (well done Tom). Feeling thoroughly fed up with Bruno already, before we had really seen any of it, we changed our plan and headed a few days earlier than planned to Sloup (what a fabulous name) and into the Moravian Karst Region just NE of Bruno.
The campsite was located up a lane, right next to the local football ground, and it seemed the whole village was there to support (we think it was a home win too, but the owner seemed to suggest that the after-celebrations would take place irrespective of the final score). Tom went off foraging again and had a salad of dandelion leaves, poppy petals and clover flowers. He also identified camomile, sweet Cecily, burdock and tansy growing around the site.
