Cesky Krumlov

cesky krumlov is this little town in Czech Republic that has a huge beautiful castle surrounded by brown bears and is also famous for the fact that the horror movie hostel was filmed here.

We stayed in the hostel 99 which is the hostel which the movie was filmed. It was like a huge house filled with random people you got to know really well as there were no locks on bedroom doors and everything was free for all. Cesky had great food and beautiful scenery . First day we walked up to the castle and had a look at the bears that surrounded the castle. Then we walked up into the castle and looked around and then walked up through beautiful gardens and around the pond at the back. From the castle there was beautiful views of the entire town. All the buildings had red ceramic roof tiles and were tall narrow cream buildings. It was a magnificent view. Surrounding the castle and the town was a huge lake which the following day we hired white water rafts and white water rafted down the lake. Although we did this a little different and we made it a pub crawl which is the other main attraction to cesky . On the entire way down the river there are little bars that you pull into and have shots and drinks until you get to the bottom of the river which ends at the back of the hostel. The water was freezing cold but after a few drinks you couldn't really tell. We stopped at about 6 bars and it took us 6 hours to get down the river. Was a great day.a

That night we headed to the folk festival and had dinner and then off to bed for an early rise for the bus.
