Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Český Krumlov
The Vltava makes a series of tight loops through the south Bohemian hills, and Český Krumlov sits inside one of them like a stone kept in a closed hand. The old town, the castle on its rock above the river, and the bridges and rooftops are all squeezed into the bend. It is a very small place, only about fourteen thousand people, but it has the air of something much larger, because for centuries it was the seat of powerful noble families, first the Rosenbergs and later the Schwarzenbergs and Eggenbergs, who built and rebuilt the castle until it had grown into dozens of buildings around a string of courtyards.
