Travel Diary to Eastern Europe - Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic

in Weekend Experiences2 years ago (edited)

21 Oct 2018

It was an Autumn Sunday when me and my friends travelled to a beautiful town in the Czech Republic called Cesky Krumlov. It is said to be one of the most picturesque towns in Europe.


I remember we woke up super early in the morning to take the 7 am bus to Cesky Krumlov. It was a 3-hour journey from where we were, Prague.


We are greeted by this beautiful view when we arrived. Looks like some faraway wonderland eh? 😄


I spotted this while walking and exploring the place. I wondered what tree can bear such an overflowing amount of red flowers/fruits.


To my surprise, this was actually an apple treeeeeee! 🍎 I was so excited! Cause I've never seen an apple tree in person before! But sad that this tree is planted in someone's house, otherwise I might have picked one apple from the floor and consumed it on the spot 😂.


Took a sneak peek of the town from this angle. Such a photogenic sight!


Here's the panoramic view from the Cesky Krumlov Castle (you may zoom in to view the enlarged size).

This truly lives up to its name. Cesky Krumlov is a Unesco World Heritage site with a stunning castle above the Vltava River. My heart leapt when I saw this view 💗. How can such a place exist?! So beautiful it makes me wanna cry 😭. My heart is so full!


Look at that mirrored lake! 💗 Such a postcard-worthy view. So amazed by its beauty.


Another panoramic view of the old town and the river from the round bell tower.


Took a selfie of myself. 🤭


My secondary schoolmates, whom I travelled with 💗.


Such a huge chimney-looking building.


Passed by a house and saw this beautiful autumn-themed floral door wreath 🍁🍂.


Look at the exterior design of the house! So beautiful that it looks like wallpaper.

I thought houses like this only appear in some classic English movies or maybe Disney's Beauty and the Beast's house. It certainly looks like some princess should be looking out and singing from the open window above! Hahaha!


We passed by a huge maze in Castle Gardens too.


Ended our day trip with this! 😄

This town is such a delight to walk through. It is small and compact and very, very photogenic. Indeed an unforgettable weekend spent with a wonderful group of friends! 💗

Thank you for reading thus far. May you enjoy the scenery as much as I do. :)

This is a throwback trip to Eastern Europe back in 2018. I've been wanting to document what I saw or experienced on this trip as a memory as I didn't have the time and space to do so back then. I decided to start this travel diary series after days of gathering and organizing the photos. I'm also using the travel itinerary as a guide for my writing, in case I forget the place's name.😂

Not sure if this content is qualified to be in the WEEKEND EXPERIENCES community since this happened 3 years ago. Nevertheless, still, thank you @galenkp for hosting this community so I have the space to write what I've experienced as part of my memory. :)

Oh my, that place you've visited has captivated me, it is so beautiful. By the way, I feel you about the apple, I would also pick one and eat it right away (if only I could and allowed).

hahahah right! I might really do it too, if there's no one around! 🤭

Same here, hahaha!

These are stunning pictures and you and your friends also look amazing in the photos. These are just great shot to behold. I can sense you had a wonderful moment together.

Yes, we enjoyed ourselves a lot. Thanks for your kind comments @princessbusayo! :)

The Czech Republic has some truly beautiful places and they don't even cost much to visit @michelleloh168.

Haha, I think it depends where you're coming from. If you're staying in Prague, then maybe wouldn't cost as much. But if you're from the other side of the world, then it might really cost a bomb to some to visit European countries, Not to mention the exchange rate too. 😄

First of,The Czech Republic view is so beautiful and the shot looks nice. It seems to be a beautiful place to be in.

That selfie of you and your secondary school mate is beautiful too.

Thanks for your kind comments Jessica. Yes, Cesky Krumlov is indeed a beautiful place. I believe everyone will be captivated by its beauty once they visit the place! :)

Omg I cried reading this. I spent three months there in 2001. Arrived and never left. I can't even tell you about my beautiful memories of that place. So many. Had such an incredible time. Thankyou for sharing. Hardly anyone shares Cesky Krumlov. Such a magical place.

Me, Cesky Krumlov, 2001. Spent a lot of time at this pub. Sitting on the wall with legs dangling into the water of Vltava. We used to ride inner tyres down the rapids or all the way down the river. Beer cost a crown which was about 25 Australian cents at the time.

Aww you looked so beautiful in this photo! Thanks for sharing your experience. "Ride inner tyres down the rapids or all the way down the river." - this is so cool! I don't think I've seen any of this when I was there back in 2018. You surely had so many beautiful memories in Cesky Krumlov. Hope you're able to visit again one day! :)

Wow. This is so beautiful. So captivating. The writing and the photos go so well together. Awesome job.

Thanks for your kind comments! I've never had anyone praising my writing as I don't usually express myself well, but I am indeed learning in a process to express myself better through writing whenever I can. :) Thanks for your appreciation of my writing and photos! And thanks for dropping by too Nicholas! :)

Get used to it. Your stuff is good.
