Cesky Krumlov

Two hours south of Praha is the little medieval town of Cesky Krumlov. It sustained damage during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) but that was repaired and some new buildings were built. Not much has happened since. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. October was a good time to visit. The weather was cool. There were other visitors but it was uncrowded. I'm told that in summer it can be a madhouse.

There is a very interesting art center which has a permanent exhibit of Egon Schiele drawings and memorabilia. Egon lived in Cesky Krumlov for a while, but when the citizens learned about his nude drawings of the pubescent young girls of the town he was asked to leave.
