Vimperk Castle

Reviewed By folieske4 - Antwerp, Belgium

We had the tour with guide (the only way to visit the castle) but grease your legs, as it is a very tiring one. None but stairs, cellars, even in the belltower one can see the ancient old clock that still works after centuries. The cost is 40 Czech crowns, to make pix one does not have to pay extra. There is also asmall museum in the castle, but in my opinion only good to entertain children. The castle is complete worn down, which gives it a special aura. But if not renovated urgently, there won't be much castle left to visit in the near future.

Synagogue Ckyne

Reviewed By papis215

Mile překvapen úrovni, jakou byl tento objekt zrekonstruován. Jsou zde prostory s vynikající akustikou, kde se pravidelně pořádají hudební vystoupení, či besedy se zajímavými hosty. Ochotný a znalý průvodce objektu, dobře vybavené malé info.

Chalupska Slat

Reviewed By Ro V - Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic

Parkování v blízkosti a zdarma, poté pohodlnou asfaltkou, kde se můžou prohánět cyklisté. Buď můžete vyrazit rovnou na Chalupskou slať nebo nejdříve do íčka. Pro děti velké hřiště, kde se určitě vyřádí. V íčku je automat na nápoje a kávu a moc hezká expozice o slati, tam určitě zajděte. Samotná procházka na slať je moc pěkná a jezírko na konci s výhledem a ostrůvkem prostě paráda...

Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary

Reviewed By folieske4 - Antwerp, Belgium

The church was closed when we visited, but there is an open space in the entrancedoor, so one can make pix of the interior. This Gothic Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Marywith two Fountains from the 18th c. is one of the oldest buildings in the town. The St. Ann Chapel is in the northern part of the church. The valuable Baroque furnishings originate before the middle of the 18th century, and there is a beautifull Pieta. At the exterior is a statue of the Holy Nepomuk. Next to the is a bell tower of 1500 and reconstructed 1909.

Sovi voliery

Reviewed By Ro V - Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic

Velké parkoviště kousek za zatáčkou, od parkoviště k Voliérám několik minut procházka. Voliéry jsou v místě bývalého lomu, opravdu krásné a působivé místo. Velice milá průvodkyně, která poutavě vykládá a ukazuje i skryté sovy. Škoda jen, že někteří rodiče neumí umírnit své děti a dodržovat tichý režim. Velice hezká expozice je i uvnitř. Soví voliéry lze navštívit i za horšího počasí. Venku před vstupem jsou kotce pro psy a malé hřiště pro děti. Celé místo je moc pěkné a stojí za to, si chvíli posedět a počkat na klid a vychutnat si blízkost nádherných sov.

Vimperske Muzeum

Reviewed By folieske4 - Antwerp, Belgium

The museum is part of the chateau, but is not included in the guidetour, so an additional fee needs to be paid to visit the museum. The fee is nearly as much as the 2 hours guidetour of the chateau whilst the museum is just a few roomd small. On display are some items about forrest, nature, and lumberjacks. Some stuffed animals can be spotted (taxidermia) and a few paintings. In the exhibition historical printing presses and books dating Vimperks as a centre of Czech printing in the 15th century, information about the National Park Šumava, the history of the city of Vimperk. Also exhibits from Bohemian glass, glass-blowing in the 17th century. and 18. century and the history of this historic region industry.
