sumava, böhmerwald, CZ

sumava / böhmerwald aka bohemian and/or bavarian forest visited from the czech side of the hills (CZ). we have hiked to the two in my opinion small glacier lakes cerne jezero (black lake), which is the biggest natural lake in czech republic and certovo jezero (devils lake). we've stayed in the more or less closed ski resort hotel karl with 8-10 other guests and restaurant closed in the village of spicak (spitzberg) bei zelezna ruda (eisenstein) in the german-czech border area.

enjoy few pictures:

castle plumlov, CZ

what a nice stop over between poland and austria in plumlov (plumenau, plumau, blumenau) a historical hotel villa at an artificial lake plumlov in moravia (morava, mähren), czech republic, CZ ... we've met a friend of mine petr who lives in nearby mohelnice (müglitz) and he prepared such a romantic dinner at the lake side terrace for all 3 of us in our almost empty hotel (the weather was not good enough for swimming). 

the next day we have had lunch in the beautiful city of mikulov (nikolsburg) close before the austrian border. we couldnt get any reasonable parking place in the city center even when we circled twice around it and there was so much beauty to see that we've decided just to eat a fast lunch in a street leading to the historical center and to visit this city + wineyards region for a longer period of time some other day 😇

i'll most likely upload pictures + insights later, much later ... most likely in the cold + rainy autumn evenings, okay?
