Another interesting page of yours. I once came across Decin by train on my way from Dresden to Prague. I even got a stamp of Decin in my passport. :o)

I live in Decin so here's more detailed info about this music hall.It was separated from the musicians by a wall with a small hole so that the nobility wasn't disturbed by their presence,but thanks to great acoustics the sound was and still is impressive.

Your page made me see this town with different eyes - so close to the place I live, but never appreciated it! Seems they have done a lot of restorations ...

It must be so great to live just a short drive from these wonderful places. It's always great to share the experience you had through VT. Thanks Michael!

The castle was used by the Russian Army?! I can only imagine the mess that they left. Nice restorative work to return it to former glories.

when I read "rosary" written by a certain Austraina, I thought of a rosary nearby which now should be blooming and that big breakfast makes me think of another breakfast of 6 buns, 3 cappuccino and coffee... :-))))))
