契斯凱布達札維Ceske Budjovice

Jennifer at Hluboka castle.

After visiting the town of Cesky Krumlov, we leave for the other town next to it named Ceske Budejovice the next day. The first thing for us to visit is Hluboka castle which is a bit far from the town centre of Ceske Budejovice.

Hluboka castle is a buff colour castle as you could see from the picture. It was built since 13 centenery and the royal families started to collect a lot of art works, paintings and some chinas from Japan and China after 16 centenery. Hluboka castle looks a bit like Windsor castle in England from its outer apperance. They are even quite alike in colours.

After walking around the Hluboka castle, we walk down to take a look at this little village-Hluboka. It is quite nice to walk casually around the village but what we could find are restaurants and souvenir shops. It would be much better if we could walk further or find where around the village that we could meet local people or shops and so forth.

We go back to the town centre of Ceske Budjovice. The town centre is not too big so we could easily walk around and still have time for ice creams. There are a few places that we could not go due to the limited time as well as the transportation. I believe it would be great if we could spend another few days here at both Ceske Budjovice and Cesky Krumlov towns then we shall be able to see more things and experience what the local people may do in their daily life. Well...to me, it refers to another meaning--COME AGAIN LO:D

宛如仙境的契斯基庫姆洛--Cesky Krumlov

Castle view by riverside, Cesky Kumlov.

契斯基庫姆洛離布拉格有一點點遠,加上我們還要再前往其隔壁的另一小鎮參觀,所以,我們決定在這寧靜簡潔的小鎮住一晚. 契斯基庫姆洛的字面意思是"河灣中的淺灘",整個小鎮被河團團包圍住,走到哪都能看到河的感覺真好.望著一片汪洋,讓人的煩惱都不見了.

要坐車到契斯基庫姆洛的時候,上車買票時,公車司機還我們自己如何正確說出契斯基庫姆洛的捷克語,並堅持我們要自己說出來才讓我們買票.真是可愛的司機,還好我們也夠聰明都pass 啦!! 一到契斯基庫姆洛,就急忙找我們的青年旅館把我們身上的家當給放下,好到小鎮上去溜溜.

這次的旅行因為時間的關係,我們都想多看看不同面貌的捷克,所以,幾乎每天都在不同的城鎮上閒逛.這種感覺很輕鬆,很簡單.有時因為搭車的關係,原本排定的行程必須變動,或有些景點必須被犧牲,是有些可惜,不過,這就是自助旅行的好處與便利---可以換參觀別的景點或就是好好享受當地的美景或美食.來到契斯基庫姆洛已經接近下午1點,吃過午餐已經快兩點,我們三個人就慢慢地閒晃到小鎮的鎮中心.欣賞小鎮的美景,就像是一幅幅的畫一般呈現在眼前.到契斯基庫姆洛當然不能錯過其城堡區,只是,我們已錯過最晚的參觀導覽.只能在城堡外逛逛囉!不過,看不到城堡內的雕樑玉棟,看看城外的建築和牆上的繪畫也不賴!!

其實,最讓我喜歡的不是城堡本身而是其附近的公園及小鎮風情.走在小鎮的石頭路上享受其沿街的景致並感受其居民的親和力才更令人愉悅舒服!!
