On Father's Day, we took a trip to neighboring Czechia. We visited the medieval town of Znojmo. It's located about 75 km (46 mi) north of Vienna and is therefore close enough for a day trip.
Die Stadt liegt hoch auf einem Felsen und überblickt das flache Umland und den Fluss Thaya. Die Aussicht von der St. Nikolaus-Kirche und von der Katharinenrotunde ins Thayatal war atemberaubend schön.
The town sits high on a rock and overlooks the flat surrounding area and the Thaya River. The view from St. Nicholas Church and from the St. Catherine's Rotunda into the Thaya Valley was breathtakingly beautiful.
Der Tag war heiß, aber durch den heftigen Wind, der um den Hügel und durch die historischen Gassen pfiff, war es angenehm.
The day was hot, but the strong wind whistling around the hill and through the historic streets made it pleasant.

Die vielen Baustellen zeigen, dass sich die Stadt bemüht, die historischen Gebäude zu renovieren.

The many construction sites show that the city is making an effort to renovate the historic buildings. |
Am Sonntag war nicht viel los in der Stadt, dennoch hatten Cafés, Restaurants, Eisdielen und Souvenirshops geöffnet.

Uns hat es so gut gefallen, dass wir bestimmt nochmal kommen, um einige Sehenswürdigkeiten zu besuchen, die am Sonntag entweder geschlossen waren oder wir aus Zeitmangel auslassen mussten.
We enjoyed it so much that we will definitely come again to visit some of the sights that were either closed on Sunday or that we had to skip due to lack of time.

That looks like such a lovely town to explore!
ReplyDeleteIt's a really cute little town and it was so much fun to walk through the narrow streets.
DeleteWhat a great place to visit. It looks like a "real" place with real people and exotic, well maintained buildings.
ReplyDeleteOh, everything is real! It's a medieval town with buildings from the Middle Ages. Well, the people are from today, but they're real too :)
DeleteWhat a pretty town - looks like a fairy tale!
ReplyDeleteHi Ann! We had a lovely day in Znojmo. Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteZnojmo looks like a gem!
ReplyDeleteThe medieval charm, the valley views, and even the quiet Sunday atmosphere all sound so inviting.
What a perfect way to spend Father’s Day.
Beautiful photos!
Hi Veronica! You know that it's difficult to find a place in Europe that doesn't have a medieval building. Znojmo has the charm of its location and the concentration and good preservation of its medieval buildings.
DeleteBeautiful photos! What an enchanting place to walk and explore!
