Pictures
Castle from 1841 is relatively modern
Small garden where hunting grounds were
Group provided a little atmosphere
Attractive church in the town below the castle
Hundreds of antlers "decorated" the walls
Comments!
140 lavish rooms but no photos allowed there
Inside Murano chandeliers, Ming vases, tapestries
Schwarzenbergs designed it after Windsor Castle
First golf course I've seen in Europe
Castle one of the most visited in country
Only 30 minutes outside Ceske Budejovice
Main interior courtyard with more antlers
Current castle replaced several earlier ones
Each pair listed killer, date, and weight
Small town of Hluboka nestled below castle
Nice tennis center right next to castle
No expense spared on decorating interior
Southern Bohemia is extremely green
History of royal families very intriguing here
Bohemia & Wachau areas closely tied
One Czech koruna equals about a nickel
Same beer is Budweiser here but Budvar in US
Cooler, iffy weather welcomed me to Bohemia
