what's that? It's ugly as hell (a compliment

Adamov
Adamov
- a czech pearl of architectonical brutalism
- a town 16 km (10 miles) N from Brno, status of a town since only 1964
- pop 4 900
- a railway corridor (Vienna-)Brno-Prague(-Berlin) pass through
- beautifully situated in a deep narrow valley of the Svitava river and the Křtinský stream
- developed during 1960-1970s together with an enlargement of ADAST machine works
- big commie blocks situated on very steep slopes completely overgrowing the original village
- bizard views from train windows when passing by Adamov on the bottom of the Svitava valley
- beautifull Zwettl alter in Adamov church
- beautifull surrounds, several tourist paths, a path towards the Moravian Karst natural protected area

Never seen a town like that before. Here in America everytown has a CBD, but this one has a CBD all over.
