David in Dallas Loc: Dallas, Texas, USA

I have visited Český Krumlov 3 times, once in 2010 on a cruise of the Danube River (side trip), once in 2012 with the Brookhaven Choral Society (Dallas, TX), and once in 2015 with the choir of First UMC of Richardson, Texas. I took photos of all 3 visits. Although I seem to have posted Sets from Prague and České Budějovice in the Czech Republic, for some reason I've not done so for České Krumlov. Herewith a few photos from that interesting town, taken from all 3 of my tours there.

The town itself is quite interesting, being situated in a 300° loop of the Vltava River. There is a huge castle stretching for hundreds of yards over the main pedestrian entrance to the town, and there is a weir across the Vltava River set up for recreational kayak usage. Many interesting shops and beautiful churches (none of which I had time to enter).
