Landscape Photography: Church of Our Lady of Sorrows peeping out from Silesian landscape
Hi there my Steemit friends and followers!
Through my entry for today´s #landscapehotography contest hosted by @juliank, I will show you a beautiful place that I discovered during one of my recent bike trips.
There is just one spot that offers this breathtaking scenery of a majestic Baroque church peeping out from the lush Silesian forests - it is the Cvilin Lookout Tower, one of the most famous landmarks of the Silesian town of Krnov.
The church itself, however, is another important landmark and tourist attraction of the town. Officially known as the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows and the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the magnificent church was built on the top of the Cvilin Hill above the town between 1722 and 1728.
Listed as a Cultural Landmark of the Czech Republic since 1958, the church is also a very popular pilgrimage site with the main and most visited pilgrimage of the year held on Sunday closest to the Day of Our Lady of Sorrows (September 15).
Very nice photos, good scenery , bicycling is a plus :)
@phortun what was that chat side we used to write with each other, I don't remember but I got something I wanna talk about with you! (completely irrelevant to this post by the way). Could you link it?
Cool pictures though lol
Hey Mikkel, we used https://steem.chat :) Just sent you a message there ;)
The church itself is a very important religious place in itself, it is also very beautiful or charming, and the kind of you they have photographed is very attractive.
Hermosas tus fotos, sobre todo la primera.
Realmente este paseo en bicicleta te ha dejado una toma con aspecto glorioso.
Muy buena, saludos @phortun.
What a great view from the Cvilin Lookout Tower @phortun. I'll have to put that on my list if I'm ever in that part of the world. 😊
wow that church looks amazing from the distance.
