On our way to Vienna we stopped off in a quaint little Czech town, Český Krumlov, best known for the fine architecture and art of the historic old town and Český Krumlov Castle. Most of its architecture began construction in the 13th century and reflects Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Český Krumlov is an important cultural center, hosting a number of festivals and other events each year. The best known is the Five-Petalled Rose Festival (the name is derived from the Rožmberk crest of a 5 petal red rose), which is celebrated on the weekend of summer solstice in June.
