Hello fellow Steemians,

I hope you are all having a great weekend! :) As usually, I am here with my daily photo challenge where you can submit your personal images from your travels to Prague and other locations in the Czech Republic in the comment section below.

The best 15 entries of the day will get my upvote. I will then pick the absolute winner of the day from these 15 photos. The winning photo will be awarded with a bigger upvote and it will also be featured as the cover image for the challenge post the next day to give the author of the winning shot some more exposure and publicity.

Don’t forget to add a short background story for your entry with at least 30 words and let me just remind you one more time that only personal images will be accepted in the challenge.

There were many great entries submitted in the yesterday Prague/Czech Republic photo challenge and I had a hard time picking the best one. After a deliberate consideration, however, I decided to choose the following entry by @mariainesff:

The Vyšehrad cemetery, adjacent to the Church of Sts Peter and Paul, is one of the most significant cemeteries in Prague. Over 600 famous people are buried here – writers, scientists, poets, artists, composers, actors, doctors, politicians, and others. At the cemetery’s eastern end, you’ll find the monumental tomb Slavín, where the nation’s most famous personages are laid to rest. PD: Thank you very much for selecting my photo. Greeting Mr. Tomas.

This is the view of Karlštejn Castle is a Gothic castle built in 1348 by Charles IV, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and King of Bohemia, a place full of history, in this castle were kept many jewels and treasures of sum importance for Czech Republic.

This definitely is an amazing place to visit and its distance makes it very convenient for a day trip out of Prague. Very well worth featuring in today's edition. Have a great day. Tomas

View of the Liberators´ Square ("Namesti Osvoboditelu" in Czech) found in the Silesian city of Opava. The square is dominated by a large fountain which is an exact replica of a famous fountain from the German city of Darmstadt that was designed by the renowned Opava architect J.M. Olbrich.

Tyn Church from the Old Town Square, one of the most typical pictures from Prague ...

But notice the house before the Church. House At the Stone Bell stood here at the beginning of the 14th century. It was probably the seat of King John of Luxembourg, because Prague Castle was then disintegrated and uninhabitable.
This house is still Gothic. The remaining two retained only Gothic ground. The other floors are already renaissance. And the roofs are more or less baroque.

Absintherie - Prague
In a cozy atmosphere, subdued lighting, and lots of French posters and photos of Maupassant, Jarry, Baudelaire, Toulouse Lautrec ... a wide choice of absinthe from different countries (and especially French!) Preparation under our eyes , and good service. Attention it's really special and not easy to drink!

Street Cafe

Then I liked the design of the street cafe, and I took a picture.
I was especially interested in these gas heaters, which I first saw in Prague. About five years later they appeared in our country.

Prague reminds me of a vinaigrette. Everything is here. Surprisingly, this city combines old and modern. Maybe that's why Prague can not be oversaturated. She overheard somehow the conversation of Americans on the street, who said they loved coming here and just walking around. I now understand them. I would love to fly to Prague, if I had the opportunity, just take a walk. Attracted by the magnificent old buildings. And there are a lot of palaces. So many palaces per square kilometer is probably hard to meet elsewhere.

You can find a lot of art in Cesky Krumlov, but remember... turn into small street that nobody is going there, get lost and find your way. I always try to do this in new places. I took this photo in 2016.

That is little creepy:).....

Proti gustu žádný dišputát. ;)

Today i want to highlight on some of the things you can look out for anytime you make a trip to Lednice.

  1. Lednice castle/Palace
  2. natural park
  3. the Minaret
  4. artificial lake which freezes during winter to allow for skiing
  5. Greenhouse
    This among others can be looked out for. Make a trip to this village to have fun

st. peter and paul cathedral.jpg

The basilica of St Peter and St Paul is a neo-Gothic church that dominates the Vyšehrad fortress in Prague. The church itself has a long history dating back to the 11th century. It had been rebuilt several times during its almost 1000 years existence. Today’s appearance the basilica received at the end of the 19th century when it was completely rebuilt by Josef Mocker.

Hello,
today, I'd like to share a photo of the "Edmund Gorge"
Czech: Soutěsky Kamenice, Ger: Edmundsklamm). One of my personal favorites whenever I go hiking in the sandstone-mountains : The best part about the gorge are these hilarious captains that steer the plastic boats through the gorge. They come up with some ludicrous stories about rock formations, historic events and present them in a mix of czech-german-english. Entertaining as hell!
