Hrensko

Yesterday morning, we booked a hotel in the northern part of the Czech Republic, deep in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park. 

It took a half a day to get there. We got checked in and were impressed by our nice room. By 4:30, we were out on the trails. It was rainy and foggy which added to the mystical feel of the lush mountainous landscape. We hiked to the natural stone bridge, which was filmed for the opening scene of the Narnia movies. It was truly a majestic sight to take in. The way back to the hotel was less enjoyable as the wind and rain became more harsh. 

This morning, we got up at 5:00 to go hiking in the Kamenice river gorge. It was a long, cold, rainy walk to get there, but it was so worth leaving our warm beds. Between last night and this morning, we hiked 20 kilometers. Just a indicator about the beauty of this area and our determination to see it during our short stay. At 8:00, we enjoyed the hotel's breakfast and planned out our route. Now, we have just completed our long day of travel from Hrensko, Czech Republic to Frankfurt, Germany. We are both excited to explore the area where our ancestors are from over the next few days before going to Paris on Sunday.
