Pracinska Brana, Sandstone Rocks of Labe, Czech


Pracinska Brana

The next day was also a holiday - celebrating someone called Jan Hus: we think he was a King that got burnt at the stake and was quite a fat King to boot, so much so, that it took him four days to burn! Nice!
Anyway, the weather had vastly improved, so we drove up with John to a national protected area close to the German border. We walked (hiked) to the Grand Arch. It was a beautiful area, but it was sad to see that it was so commercialised with restaurant tables right at the arch itself.
After our long walk we stopped at the nearest town called Hrensko - apparently famous for its stalls of miscellaneous sshhtuff! And, for some unknown reason Hrensko is a mecca for gnome enthusiasts. So if you should ever have the need for a garden gnome, then Hrensko is the place for you! Garden gnomes galore! Double click on the photo here to see them in our photo album and check out the cheeky one!! *Mush
