Beautiful flower decoration.

Town on the Labe (Elbe), nice to visit, not very special but I took some nice pictures :-) nice to cycle in all directions from here

It is starting to improve the air by breathing without problems. If you want to experience something beautiful, have a coffee, it is a goodness that I will remember for the rest of my life. I love espresso but I haven't gotten one anywhere yet, I recommend it.

The castle was built in the middle of the 16th century on the site of a former fortress, which was probably built during the Hussite wars. The first written mention of it comes from 1479. In the years 1545-1574, Jiří Šlejnic had a Renaissance chateau built on the site of the fortress, which could be fortified according to historical drawings. In 1809, the building was severely damaged by fire, and unfortunately, the Renaissance gables and lunettes disappeared during the later restoration. The Schwarzenberg archive used to be stored here (the Schwarzenbergs were the last owners), but between 1949 and 1960 it became the seat of the district national committee and later the school.

The city serves the local and the surrounding area well. There are many interesting statues, churches, a park, a small lookout tower, swimming in the lake and a cycle path along the Elbe with ferries to the border with Germany.
