Bader Bridge and Castle Tower

Highlight • Bridge

On the Barber's Bridge (Lazebnický most), pedestrians can cross the Vltava between Latrán and the Old Town. The current form of the bridge dates from around the 1830s. The steel truss bridge stands on two stone pillars and a central pillar at the beginning of the Vltava Island. The walkway is made of wooden planks. In the middle of the bridge there is a statue of St. John of Nepomuk and a depiction of the crucifixion. In 1830, the previous bridge, a simple wooden footbridge, was badly damaged by vandals. This is why the new bridge had to be built. The Barber's Bridge is named after the nearby public bath on the Latrán side.

Svornosti Square (Náměstí Svornosti), Cesky Krumlov

Highlight • Historical Site

Unity Square (Náměstí Svorností) is the centre of the old town with the town hall from the 16th century and the Plague Column from 1716. Several buildings are decorated with stucco and paintings. The square layout of the square, the arrangement of the houses on its sides and the exits of the streets correspond essentially to the state from the time of the city's founding in the Middle Ages.

Plague Column and Fountain on Svornosti Square

Highlight • Monument

In 1843, a stone fountain was added to the Plague Column on Svornost Square, which dates back to 1716, to replace the demolished Renaissance fountain in the middle of the square. The Plague Column, with a statue of the Immaculate Virgin Mary and eight saints, patron saints of the city and protectors against the plague, is the work of the Prague Baroque sculptor Matěj Václav Jakel, and the costs were covered by Princess Marie Ernestina von Eggenberg. On the pedestals are statues of Saints Wenceslas, Vitus, John the Evangelist and Judas Tadeáš, and in the niches of the lower row are statues of Saints Roch, Francis Xavier, Sebestián and Cajetan.

View of St. Vitus Church (Kostel svatého Víta), Český Krumlov

Highlight • Religious Site

The Parish Church of St. Vitus (kostel svatého Víta) in Český Krumlov was built in the 14th century in the Gothic style and, after Krumlov Castle, is the most striking building in the city. Dedicated to St. Vitus, the church has been a protected monument since May 3, 1958, and a Czech National Cultural Monument since November 15, 1995.

Plešivec Square

Highlight • Settlement

Plešivec Square (Plešivecké náměstí) was extensively restored in 2019 and reopened in March 2020. The administration took the renewal of the sewerage and water supply as an opportunity to extensively beautify the square in the south of the old town and to provide it with new street paving. Three historic wayside shrines stand here and a large fountain, which once served as a watering hole for livestock, provides water.

April 16, 2025,🇨🇿 Česky Krumlov: entlang der Moldau und im Wald

This morning, in bright sunshine, we went on our last hike in Český Krumlov. We headed south along the Vltava River and back through the forest. The stretch along the river wasn't so great because of the road across the street, but the return walk through the forest was absolutely quiet except for the birdsong.
