      I know it couldn't be more off topic...but as a dane I have to apologise for the idiots that trashed Prague. I been to the Czech Republic 5 times in my life and its such a beautiful country. First time I was in Prague I got lost from my mom on that famous bridge, I forgot its name. It took us hours to find each others again. To be fair I was the kind of kid you should have on a leash, I always escaped and went on my own journeys. I once bit a woman in Munich because she thought a 5 year old shouldn't walk around alone, she was rigth I escaped my mom in the metro. And when I was 4 I created a huge panick in a hotel in Portugal, I found a way to the roof and sat on the edge on a 5th floor building calling my parents who was in a panick looking for me.
      I miss being a child.

      I wouldnt go to karštejn (worthless) .. if you want to see really nice medieval castles go to Pernštejn or Rožmberk. But I would prefer to go to chateaus like Hluboká or Lednice. The best cities to see are Karlovy Vary, Olomouc and Český Krumlov. From nature you can visit Pravčická Brána or Prachovské skály. and If you are in Prague the jewish synagogues are A MUST SEE - especially Spanish and Jerusalem synagogues. But there is just way more things to see than these main 4 spots which every tourguide offers (prague, kutná hora, karlovy vary and český krumlov).
      And I have to agree that Konopiště is also good, it is on my top 4 czech castles/chateaus (Hluboká, Krumlov, Konopiště, Lednice), but foreigners usually go just to Krumlov which is pitty.

      @@daweka666 I do not think it will. Henry and sir Hans Capon are going to visit Otto III. of Bergau (Ota III z Bergova) at the end of the game. At the time he held two important castles among other holdings. Zbiroh which is due west from Sassau and Trosky which is due north. Henry and Hans are leaving the map in the northeast so most likely they are heading for Trosky (they were already in the east of the map to start with). Český Krumlov is in the south of Bohemia - south of Sassau. To raise your spirits a bit: 1) there are legends about castle Trosky - there are hidden treasures beneath it, gates of hell or gateways to other dimensions; 2) there actually are underground corridors below the castle forming a maze/labyrinth, nowadays it is largely collapsed and blocked; 3) according to another legend two main towers of the castle (Crone/Hag and Maiden) were later named after two female members of the Bergau family who were religious opposers, catholic and chalicist (pretty much hussite); 4) Even Andrzej Sapkowski used the castle in one of his books of the "Hussite Trilogy"; 5) it is very close to area called Bohemian Paradise which has really beautiful places. Check with google: Emperor's corridor, Pravčická Archway.

I was a small child then. Spoken Czech reminds me of high mass back when Catholic masses were still in Latin and the entire mass was sung on special occassions. I am from the USA but my father's family was from Bohemia and left in the 1880s so I do tend to romantisize it a bit. But, if you could hear what I hear when I listen to interviews on RUclips or Czech Radio with English subtitles, I think you might agree. Other languages don't have that rythm and tone.

If you are lucky enough there is some snow and in the combination of the lights is amazing. In summer, you will be surrounded by endless crowds of people and tourists and the vibes of the medieval town is completely away.

    Ah, my hometown.

So the town now has like 3 grocery shops that I know of, but shitton of souvenir shops, pensions, hotels, cafe, etc. Not to mention that it's extremelly overcrowded with tourists. There were always some there as far back as I remember (I'm 25 years old btw) but extremelly large groups of tourists, especially the chinese are more and more common.

    As a native born Czech raised in Austria/Canada, I find it super cool, that you react to videos about the Czech Republic. In all honesty, Czech people do kinda remind me of americans. Like it might be a Roman Catholic country, but oh my did I feel like amonst family members, whilst visiting the US. They love beer, all kinds of cars, guns, are unappologetic, and industrious, as well as hard working traditionalists. I was also laughing so hard, that I fell of my chair when you accuratly predicted, that Czech dads love to go camping and cayaking, and if the kids dont want, then thats too bad, cause youre going with him no matter what. XDD I have two, due to mom being divorced, and both took me every year for some camping and cayaking. I must have been an odd child, since I freaking loved that stuff. Till this day.
    Wish you all the best, and hope you visit Czech Republic one day. Keep up the good work with your videos, love em to death.

    Hello, I found this video in my recommends, and the fact that I was born in Cesky Krumlov and still live there is crazy, and for me it is very, VERY rare to see/hear someone mention my hometown Cesky Krumlov. Hello from Cesky Krumlov 👋!

    Yes, that place is the second most visited town in Czechia (after Prague) and is on UNESCO list. And the pronunciation of Český is starting as Czech (it means Czech literaly) - Cze-skee.
    There is much more to see here, not just Český Krumlov. I live in this region also in a medieval and reneissance town of Třeboň (with complete townwalls) in completely rebuilt landscape from moors in the middle of the Biospheric Reservation of UNESCO. Here is a castle, nobility tomb, parks, brewery since 1379, preserved city, two spas and beautiful nature full of ponds, lakes and forests. Here is mainly landscape around and the fishermen: ruclips.net/video/VqVe_g2GFwo/видео.html, here you have just the nobility tomb in the middle of park ruclips.net/video/6oOTdGHe4U0/видео.html. And here you have some website for Třeboň itself. www.visittrebon.cz/

    I live in České Budějovice - a less than an hour from Český Krumlov (in the Czech Republic). Deffinitely both are nice places to visit - but Krumlov is so touristic, Budějovice are extremely beautiful too. 😊

    you know what's funny I was also on the water in Český Krumlov (I'm Czech). It was a week ago when the weir (hamberk) went down and I fell into the water, the boat capsized with me and I totally destroyed my knees to the point of blood... (3 stitches). Be careful, the water is beautiful, but very dangerous during heavy rain!
    Dude, my leg is in a bandage and I'm still healing and this video falls into my recommended list?!? 🤕

  • @Potkanka
    @Potkanka Год назад +1

    Considering some of the things you were amazed by, you wouldn't even need to visit Český Krumlov specifically (although it's execptionally beautiful of course) but plenty of other Czech towns. Historical buildings with no billboards and not many cars around are pretty common in many historical centres of towns here. Not every town has such a pretty castle though :D

  • @klausphilipp2858
    @klausphilipp2858 Год назад +1

    Btw, the best beer of the world is not far away. You just have to go to Budvar to get the one and only real Budweiser. And pilsen, the home of the original Pilsner, isn`t to far away, too.

    Guys, I have a funny rabbit hole for you: If you search for the video "48hrs on a PRIVATE TRAIN in America!", you will find in the frame "6:56" a picture of Český Krumlov on the wall of Woodrow Wilson's private suite. Does anyone know where he got it from? :)

    I don't know if I write well because I don't speak that much English. But the Czech Republic has a lot to offer Český Krumlov is just one of tens of thousands of monuments, like 1 European pharmacy in the village of Kuks. I won't mention Prague Castle. The centre of Kutná Hora with the church of St Barbara. Or the National Stud Farm in Kladruby nad Labem, which is the oldest in the world and was founded in 1579. The Old Kladruby horses, a unique Czech breed of horses that has retained its typical Baroque appearance to this day, are bred here.

    Lol, I got a wheelclamp in Cesky Krumlov yeaaaars ago. We parked at a parking near the centre only there was a sign, in Czech, saying the parking was only for people living there. Only we and many others couldn't read that so several of us got a wheelclamp. We had to walk back to the centre and enter a scary police station with very thick doors. Luckily it was only 25 guilders (nowadays it's euros of course, it's a while ago) instead of the hundreds we probably would have had to pay here but still it was a bit scary. By the time we got back at the car, the clamp was gone and we could leave. We bought wooden toys, cars, in CK, it's well known for it.

  • @zralokvemigraci

    Krumlov is amazing, although quite touristy. But I still love it! If you come in June, you would be there for festivals with music, dancing and historical costumes like the Baroque Night or the Five-Petalled Rose Festival :) (there's probably more, but as I am not local I know only about the famous ones)

    The historical centre (the rest of the city is modern) is absolutely gorgeous and definitely worth a visit! Just be aware that it's incredibly touristy, overpriced and no-one actually permanently lives in the old buildings 😁 other than that it's definitely worth a visit. The castle is gorgeous as well.
