On route to Cesky Krumlov, we visited the town of České Budějovice. Where Budweiser is from, or more accurately, where the Americans stole the beer recipe from. The driver insisted we buy a can of the real Bud when we stopped for gas. True story. Český Krumlov Castle is one of the most important monuments in Central Europe in terms of architectural level, cultural tradition, and scale. Due to hidden position in a remote corner of South Bohemia. Its building development has been preserved with the original layout, material structure, interior installations, and architectural details from the 14th to the 19th century. It was everything I read about and so much more. Absolutely breathtaking! The lore around the castle and the region is great material for films. We especially like the stories around Witiko of Prčice and his four sons who each took on a different coloured rose as their house insignia. It’s stuff of Game of Thrones I tell ya.
