Night Heron looks wet when it’s raining, isn’t it?

Pravčická Brána

On my recent trip to Czech Switzerland I’ve visited Pravčická Brána – nice rock formation on the mountain trail that itself is very interesting and leads through different rocks, valleys, hills and water ferries. It takes about 6 hours and is like 17 km long, but very easy and worth visiting…

Königstein Fortress

Königstein is a hilltop fortress near Dresden next to the Elbe river. If you’re visiting Bastei or Dresden city it’s a must to see this fortress. You can reach it walking uphill or using the lift! Yes, modern lift is available and included in the ticket price. The fortress itself is of course very interesting if you are fan of military buildings. But for me the best was small shop with nice cakes at the top. I just discovered that there’s a long line to one of the shops, so as a guy used to lines I joint it immediately. At the end the prize was great cake. Unbeatable taste that will always come to my mind if I think about Dresden and vicinity…

Bastei

Bastei – rock formation towering 194 meters above the Elbe River, Germany. Even in awful, rainy weather it’s worth visiting. You can’t count on good pics then, but still at least see if it’s worth revisit. The only problem is crowd and easy access to the place. First of all you don’t need to hike a lot from the parking – even disabled people can access it what is good. Another issue is proximity from polish border – it’s just max. two hours drive from Zgorzelec, so about 6-7 hours drive from Warsaw. I strictly recommend visiting the place, but choose your date smart. Good weather and probability of less people is the best option.

Dresden in the night is even more interesting than during the day. See for yourself…

Dresden #1

admin — Sat, 04 May 2013 05:20:43 +0000

Last month I had a chance to get to Dresden. I was positively surprised by this amazing city. It’s not boring like other German cities. Modern architecture mixes with old buildings and everything is clean like in the lab. You can love this city, just need plenty of time to walk each of the streets and find mysteries of the past. As guides state twenty years ago it looked quite different. Many buildings was in bad state or even didn’t exist. But EU put gazillions of money to transform this place and I must say it was good decision. It rocks!
