We were in \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov at the end of September and of course I had to test out the running conditions here too \ud83e\udd78<\/h2>\n

Krumlov or \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov had been on our bucket list for some time - especially as this place is known for its fantastic Christmas market. Although it's not yet the Advent season, we wanted to visit \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov outside the peak tourist season (btw. it was still extremely crowded - and we were part of the tourist masses \ud83d\ude02).<\/p>\n

Weekend trip to the Czech Republic<\/h3>\n

We decided to stay for three days - from Friday to Sunday - and visit this idyllic and historic little town. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great and was rainy most of the time, which is why we opted for a nicer wellness flat so that we could enjoy our short holiday indoors if necessary.<\/p>\n

Of course, we made our rounds in the small town of \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov and explored the various facets of the historic old town.<\/p>\n

Probably the biggest tourist magnet is \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov Castle. We decided to visit the castle grounds, as they are indeed worth seeing. However, we made a conscious decision not to consume anything here or spend money on a visit to the tower in order to enjoy the Cruel and unnatural keeping of bears in the castle moat<\/strong> cannot be financed. Unfortunately - and this is my biggest minus point about \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov - people here cling to backward traditions and think that bears in moats are a great idea. A big minus.<\/p>\n

Cuisine and food in Krumlov<\/h3>\n

Czech cuisine is very hearty. I can still remember the traditional Czech dumplings and roast juices from our city trip to Prague a few years ago. We discovered a vegetarian\/vegan restaurant at the Christmas market in \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov last year and as the vegan selection in Krumlov is not really large, we decided to spend our evenings at the Restaurant Laibon in \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov<\/a> to spend.<\/p>\n

The owner of this great little restaurant is extremely kind and always endeavours to fulfil guests' wishes. The majority of the menu is vegan, the rest mostly vegetarian with the option to make it vegan. It was always very busy and the prices are, in my opinion, normal and similar to prices in Austria (possibly even a little cheaper).<\/p>\n

Some places in \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov also serve vegan tree cakes \ud83e\udd29 Of course, we also indulged in these on two days.<\/p>\n

Running and hiking in \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov<\/h3>\n

As I can't help it and have the urge to run at least a short lap wherever I am, I did the same here. I'm also currently trying my hand at streak running (more information here in the Instagram post)<\/a>, which of course also made it necessary to walk at least one mile.<\/p>\n

I quickly adapted an available hiking route via Komoot and turned it into a running route and off we went. Half of the route was in the forest and about the last third was on a footpath and cycle path. I thought the route - on which I met a few mushroom pickers - was really great and have made it available to you below as a Komoot tour.<\/p>\n

So if you are ever in \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov, you can follow this route and even walk it.<\/p>\n

My conclusion about \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov<\/h3>\n

I love this little town. Even though it is very popular with tourists (just as I was a tourist), there are many ways to enjoy your stay here. Yes, you can even get vegan food and Baumkuchen here - not even in medium-sized towns in Austria.<\/p>\n

The Vltava and the running and hiking trails also invite you to explore.<\/p>\n

The biggest minus point is actually the outdated thinking that cruelty to animals in the moat is in keeping with the times. However, this is not to denigrate the general stay ... I just don't want to support this nonsense. \u270c\ud83c\udffc<\/p>\n
