1/🧵 Český Krumlov is a popular destination among Czechs, even though we happen to appear there rather than being particularly drawn to the place. The river below the castle is the Vltava, which flows through Prague some 200 kilometers further. The stretch from Vyššà Brod to Český Krumlov is a favored canoeing hotspot – anyone who has never sailed it is hardly a true Czech.
2/🧵 That’s not much of an exaggeration; there are thousands of boats every summer day, and the sailors quench their thirst in floating bars (yes, floating bars!), at multiple kiosks and camps along the stream, or just from their own supplies. I’ve even seen boats with a keg on board.
3/🧵 Anyways, my post is not about how outdoory the Czechs are, and how much we drink. It’s about a huge castle complex which, along with the old town of Český Krumlov were declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1992.
4/🧵 Let me take you around the picturesque castle, which was established in mid-13th century, and showcases a blend of several European architectural styles. I sweat it is an amazing place :)
5/🧵 Plus, there’s a skeleton assembled from three different people. Did I catch your attention? Read my post: https://inleo.io/@godfish/esk-krumlov-the-castle-5wi
