The view of the castle from high above on the hills of the Vysehrad neighborhood is superb. This spot is about 30 seconds from Pension Vila Vysehrad where I stayed.
The striking red rooftops of Cesky Krumlov, here seen from the castle, is one of its magnificent appeals.
Faded sign on peeling wall along Pivovarska street. For me this is the ideal of old Europe.
- Pros:Impossibly picturesque
- Cons:Overrun with tourists
- In a nutshell:A gem

Yen, a place I visited with some friends, they shopped while I took some great photos just as you did. Excellent place to visit, thanks for the memories. I appreciate your talents to find such beautiful towns to explore.
This was one of the favorite places on our trip to the Czech Republic. It wasn't quite as crowded as it was when you were there, so it was really enjoyable.
Great photo of the main square. I took a bike tour of Bohemia and this was one of our favorite places we visited. Lovely town!
You're a painter with a camera. Some of the best images of Cesky Krumlov I've seen ANYWHERE on the Net.
excellent pics ! Krumau is really a great place to visit !
Great shots! I haven't been in Krumau (Cesky Krumlov in german) so far ....
Cesky Krumlov doesn't look that touristy ... love the photos.
You, as usual, caught the most beautiful sky I have ever seen...it looks almost "photoshopped"! Can you tell who your biggest fan is? LOL;p
