Telc to Slavonice

Slavonice and Telc are both UNESCO world heritage sites, and you can see why. Telc had an amazing square and a magical setting, but Slavonice was end-to-end just full of amazing houses, many with facades seemingly untouched for hundreds of years (in a good way!). Again, we are staying in a place around 600 years old right on the main square. We spend most of the first day just walking around the town (easy to do). David gets carried away photographing everything in sight, just enjoying all the little architectural details – the closer you look the more you see. Example: when we first get in, we go into a downstairs room, climb the stairs and go into the tourist information office. Going back again, we realize the room is in fact an extremely rare example of crazy, over-the-top vaulted ceilings (photo)and the frescoes in the office also pretty amazing and over 500 years old. It’s that kind of casually discovered stuff that we love – anywhere you look there’s something interesting that tells a story.
