3. Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic

We had heard about Cesky Krumlov so spent some time figuring out how to get there. We took the train from Salzburg to Linz where we met a van operated in conjunction with some pensions / beds & breakfasts in Cesky Krumlov. (We luckily had made previous reservations for it - it was full.) Cesky Krumlov was one of the jewels on the trip and we wished that we had spent more than one night and two half days there.

4. Prague

We greatly enjoyed Prague and regreted that we stayed only 3 nights, 2 1/2 days. But we wanted to see as many of the things on our to-do list as we could since we didn't know at that time if we'd ever get back to Germany.

Next stop ... Dresden.
