A must see town, according to all the tour books, which mildly indicates the popularity of this ‘little Praha’. Much flouted for being an intact medieval city, it is awash with tours and tourists alike, all racing for the castle. The charm of the place is still there, cobbled streets, minimum vehicle usage of roads, a strong sense of the past, and not just in the awful costumes and displays that seem to be everywhere, but in the buildings and their exteriors. We cycled into town from our campsite, 5 km downstream. A campsite that was immensely popular with those kayak-camping along the river. They load all their gear into waterproof, sealable containers which they carry in their boats. The containers can also be used (badly) as drums when drunk!!
We didn’t complete a tour of the castle there, as we had completed one in Praha, so after wandering around the town and looking inside some of the fine buildings, we cycled back to the campsite and had a game of Boules. Watched some Czech kids play haki sak. These guys were quite skilled at it, in comparison to myself, a few fancy tricks were being shown off. Glad to have a game of something though, and of course to win.
