In northern Bohemia

Price from 300 euros*.

Atmospheric excursions cure dysthymia as decisively as bromhexin cough.

In today’s journey, the smells of the railway and climbing to old castles, abandoned estates and chimes of distant bells are collected.

In the necessary doses, the sacred epic and historical escapades will necessarily be present.

Always and everywhere the cauldrons of civilization boiled around the trade arteries.

“The Great Silk Road”, “The Way from the Varangians to the Greeks”, “The Amber Road”, “The Volga Trade Route” and their like accumulated vital energy and generated cities.

With many of its trade and craft posads, the Czech Republic overgrown exactly when the first trade relations with the Luzhiki and Saxons were trampling.

Roudnice nad Labem became rich on the Luzhitsk road, Litomerzhice did well on the Labskoye road, and Teplice grew up on the Saxon one.

From morning to evening, the trading bigs were dammed with carts with salt, wax, honey and everything that was in demand.

However, local frustrations, military squares and especially the man-made XIX century inevitably corrected the trade routes.

Many commercial and transit settlements once turned out to be out of business, and sweetened by merchants, the cities-loubysh began to decay, crumble and wither.

City dwellers used to go to bed earlier and wake up later, and the eternal gam and hustle were replaced by chronic provincial slumber.

The towns planned for study today are cute, quiet and multicolored, but much of them recalls the stormy Negtsyanite past.

Their sights and mimish street angles will be enhanced by juicy surrounding landscapes of amazing beauty.

However, the cherry on the cake will be Strshekov Castle.

Its brutality and apscale masculinity must impress both rationalists and irrationals.

The romance and inaccessibility of this castle is a kind of manifesto about the irrevocability of time, which strongly attracts artists, poets and filmmakers.

P.S. The ideal accompaniment of the whole trip would be Wagner’s Tannhäuser, low thunderclouds and a bone-cold autumn wind.

P.P.S. Fresh beer and mountains of snacks throughout the day are guaranteed.

*The price is minimal with a minimum configuration of the program and group.
