Ready for a culture trip that hits different? Let’s deep-dive into the Old Castle in Jevišovice (Starý zámek Jevišovice), one of the Czech Republic’s most epic spots for history buffs, architecture lovers, and anyone addicted to medieval vibes. Throwback to the Hussite Era: This castle isn’t just a pretty face—it's dripping with tales from the past. Built between 1423 and 1426 by Sezema of Kunštát, it rose from the ashes of a medieval stronghold destroyed just across the river. During the wild 1420s, it was THE hot spot for Hussite soldiers. Imagine knights, sieges, and armor everywhere—medieval fantasy, basically IRL. ⚔️🏰 Legend Alert: The castle’s most iconic ruler? Hynek of Kunštát, also known as the “Dry Devil” (Suchý čert). This dude went toe-to-toe with Emperor Sigismund and made every royal rival shiver. Dark aesthetic, ruthless legacy...you get the vibe. Baroque Glow-Up: After the Kunštát fam faded out, the castle changed hands until Louis Raduit de Souches took the wheel in 1649. He turned the old fortress into a legit Baroque chateau and built the stunning early Baroque Chapel of St. Louis. Perfect for fans of dramatic transformations—bring your camera, because every angle is 🚀.

Did you know there's a wine you can only drink in the Czech Republic at this time of year? This time, we'll introduce you to Burčák, the baby wine. In the Czech Republic, there's a traditional autumn wine. About Burčák Burčák, also known as "baby wine," is grape juice that's still in the fermenting stage before it's made into wine. Because it's still in the fermenting stage, it's slightly effervescent, sweet, and easy to drink like juice. It's often described as having a fruity flavor similar to apple juice or grape juice. It really doesn't taste like much alcohol, and the juice-like taste makes it easy to drink a lot. However, the alcohol content is surprisingly high, around 1-7%, so be careful not to drink too much. ⚠️ (My friend drank too much and got drunk. ⚠️) 🍂It's a very seasonal drink that can only be enjoyed during the grape harvest season, which typically runs from late August to early October. ⚠️ Because this is a rapidly fermenting beverage, it may explode if stored in an airtight container. Therefore, if you purchase it in a bottle, make sure to loosen the lid to allow the gas to escape. Please be especially careful when storing it. ○Where can I drink it? It is also available at wine shops in Prague. My recommended wine shop is a little far from the city center, but it's Vinotéka Slámovka - podnikjakovino 📍Křenova 23, 162 00 Prague 6 I buy a bottle there every year.

Completely preserved medieval buildings, winding gray stone streets, colorful houses, design-filled corners, every street detail quietly reveals the city's innate elegance, rated as the most beautiful five One of the towns has also won the reputation of "Little Prague". A small town surrounded by mountains and waters, located on the rocky hills of the Thaya River, on the Czech-Austrian border. In ancient times, due to the terrain and the rich land, in the Middle Ages it was an important town connecting the roads of Prague and Vienna. It was also a military fortress at that time. The barriers in the city have been holding positions for centuries. The brick red roof is under cloudy and night. Still glamorous and dazzling.
