Day 1
Tabor
The old medieval town from the 14th century Hussite times. The medieval underground passages , totalling around 14km in length , originating in the linking of the extensive two and three storey cellars of the townhouses above. The temperature underground varies around 10 degrees C/ 50 degrees F all year.
Hluboka
Overlooking the River Vltava , there is the monumental structure of the romantic Hluboka Castle. The Castle was built around the middle of the 13th century and later purchased by the Schwarzenberk family, it was rebuilt several times. The latest modification in the Romantic style of the so-called Winsdor Gothic carried out between 1839 and 1871 transformed Hluboka into a representative residence of the Schwarzenberks. Representative interiors contain rare collections of Flemish tapestries, weapons, furniture and paintings. This is the most beautiful castle in the Czech Republic.

Holasovice - historical village The first written document of its existence dates back to 1263. There were 20 estates in the village that gained the appearance of South-Bohemian folk Baroque as we know it today between 1840 and 1880 . The impressive urban complex of the village with a spacious rectangular village square is lined with a cosistent line of houses creating an impressive architectonic work of a unified concept.
