Libochovice: an important part of magic Středohoří - VIDEO
A few warm days and nights of incoming spring were changed by morning chilly temperatures. Just to show us how spring can be fragile, even though in the Czech Středohoří (middle size of mountains) is fully of white snowdrops and snowflakes.
Nearly four thousand people, who live in Libochovice, do from this town in the lower Poohří almost a family place. A nice lady in the newsagent goes for the majority of its customers, but the tourists are accustomed to. The locals stop to talk to each other. They solve politics or family problems. In such a small town like this, works one of the chain stores. But everything has its cons. And because such a "store" has everything, in the square does not work an ordinary bakery.
Castle - the number one of tourist attractions
The entrance of Libochovice castle, which the National Heritage Institute manages stay open during the winter season as well. In the courtyard of this early-baroque monuments, one of the most important in Czech country, works the library and very cheap tourist hostel. Since April, when the tourist season begins, visitors can observe interior exposure and explore different architectural styles, admire the porcelain and image collections.
A little walk in the garden can charm you in every season - especially in spring when everything comes alive. Libochovice Castle Garden served in the 17th century already. In 1685 Jan Tulipán there began with his horticultural magic. This man with a peculiar name, who hired the former owner of the estate of Prince Gundakar Dietrichstein, when designing a garden in Libochovice, took park in the French of Versailles as a model.
When the old facade can fit
Among the carefully cut bushes and hedges are exposed or hide the various fountains, pools and fountains. As the facade of the castle as them would need to be fixed. In the state they are today, but can make an irresistible atmosphere of old times. By a thick bushes overgrown staircase, so that you have to almost crawl, which leads into the surrounding countryside and the river Ohře recalls the story of Sleeping Beauty. Architectural Art of former masters, one must then find first, only then he can admire it. Libochovice is unique even in this.
The whole northern Bohemia had the brand of industry devastated landscape. In the Castle of Libochovice therefore started a project called Storybook Středohoří, which should convince tourists, that north Bohemia and has a lot of beautiful places. Libochovice, inherently joined to the nearby dominating ruins of Hazmburk, certainly is.
