Living water of Karlovy Vary. And the medieval elbow castle
Description:
The famous resort city, where everyone who comes to the Czech Republic must visit! It is famous for its hot mineral springs, knocking out of the ground. All of them are brought to the main avenue of the city in openwork colonnades. In summer, the avenue is decorated with tubs with palm trees, which gives the impression that you are somewhere in the seaside city. The very atmosphere of this place promotes calm, relaxation and relaxation. I just want to take a leisurely walk, drink water from the springs, admire the mountain nature and enjoy life!
Why are the springs hot? Why get out of the ground? Why are they so useful? I will tell you about this on the way to Karlovy Vary.
We will also visit the medieval castle Lokot, located on the way to Karlovy Vary (after all, it is from there that the resort originates).
The elbow looks like typical castles of the Middle Ages: tall, stone, with jagged walls. He rises on a hill, in front of a bend of the river, resembling a bent hand. Getting into it, you feel how people lived before, among the “stones”, without heating and hot water, being constantly under the threat of hostilities. “The Past Revitalized” instantly catches your eye, especially when you look at the torture museum.
The Holy Inquisition had the right to torture people. It was in this way that confessions of some crime were knocked out of the accused: he jinxed a neighbor, sent damage, pestilence to the village, forbade rain to pour crops, etc.
Did you know that innocent women were blamed for the crop failure, the bad weather, the plague epidemic, recognizing them as witches? Many of them ended up in a torture chamber.
It's a very interesting subject! We can talk about this on the way to the tour.
