Domazlice

For our late fall trip Pam and I decided to go to western Bohemia to a small beauty of a town called Domazlice near the German border. We got a pension, small hotel, in a restored 16th century house. This kind of stuff thrills me no end. It was run by a young family. Otto, Wendy, and their daughter Jennifer made our stay very pleasant and comfortable. The area the town is in is called the Chodsko area and is famous for its beautiful folk costumes(kroj) and painted pottery. The town museum has a wonderful collection of them. The town itself, though small, has great old buildings, some good restaurants, and post card views. We also toured the countryside where we saw castles and vistas of the mountainous border country (border with Germany) A leisurely trip home with a few more castle and old church stops made for an interesting historic and long weekend.
