(oops- sorry the first phto is of Valtice square not lednice! uploading is far too slow to cahnge now)
First real day of walking – wonderful wonderful tracks through forests and every so often a clearing and some ridiculous ‘monument’ erected by people with far too much money (pictures attached). Trails really well signposted, we’ve been given lots of great maps and feel r
eally good about the walks, although perhaps our feet are not quite so. Did about 15km today.
Lednice Zamek (chateau/castle thingy) absolutely stunning inside and out (see photos). The Liechenstein family used to own this whole area and this was their main residence. After WW2, the Czech Govt confiscated all of their lands and so here it is
for us to enjoy. [Incidentally, there is talk of restitution].
one of the staircases was amazing -
