The beauty of CK town is incomparable

Český Krumlov, commonly known as CK town, is a charming small town with a population of about 15,000 people. In 1972, it was listed as one of the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The name 'Krumlov' in Latin and Old German indicates that the land is an uneven meadow. Approaching the outskirts of the town, one can see the ancient castle tower standing tall amidst the mountain mists. It is the second largest castle in the Czech Republic, after Prague Castle. The town of Český Krumlov is embraced in a horseshoe shape by the wide and winding Vltava River, which flows from here towards the city of Prague. The entire town is centered around a 13th-century castle, which features Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Despite a history of 300 to 500 years, the castle still retains its medieval style.
