[Czech Republic] Tourism Thread

[Norkey]

Castles, châteaux, forts and manor houses in Czech rep., hotels, residences, golf resorts, spas, museums, free-time activities, or just gardens, nature, reservations, and casual countryside... :-P

So let's start with two largest Liberec Golf Resorts - Ypsilonka GC and GC Liberec

Ypsilonka













GC Liberec





In czech economy thread was discussion if the oldest public park is in PL or SK. Pruhonice park near Praha isn't oldest, but it is far the nicest.. :-P

I love the Czech republic. I have been to most parts in the west, like Liberec, Praha, Plzen, Marianské Lazne, Klatovy, Kladno, Jicin, Spindleruv Mlyn, Teplice, Konopiste, Krkonose, Bohemia etc.

This quarry near Beroun, though artificial, was also spectacular.

- birthplace of composer Leos Janacek (The Cunning Little Vixen; Jenůfa; Fate; The Makropoulos Affair; From the House of the Dead..)

Finally...
The Prague Castle is more a mansion and Brno has a heading access, cause i couldnt find it
Nor could I find a Night club in Brno. But thats another story....
to my luck.. i found a nude - ladies only strip club..... that would have been fun for me

Sure. Personally, I think 'tourism industry' around Orlík and Zvíkov isn't fully developed yet. I had problems with finding an accomodation here (I was there for 2 days when travelling back from N.Italy - 8°C in Tyrol grrr..), and those few stands with souvenirs etc. and cheap caffes around aren't very representative. The same with restaurants..
