This is the beautiful castle of Nové Město nad Metují, a small town in the Hradec Králové region in the north of the Czech Republic. I've been told the translation for the town's name is "New Town on the Metuje" which is because the old town and the castle sit on a spur in a meander of the river Metuje. The castle has beautiful gardens, and to get to them you enter via a walkway bridge designed by famous Slovak architect Dušan Jurkovič. In 2008, the area of Nové Město castle became listed as a national monument of the Czech Republic. For me, it marked one of the highlights of my trip through the country.
Wonderful entry! Thank you so much for your contribution. Tomas
