Jindřichův Hradec: Walking Through the Town & Around the Castle
Jindřichův Hradec is a beautiful small town in South Bohemia with almost 22.000 inhabitants. In summer, it is not as overcrowded with tourists as other Bohemian towns, but it offers the visitor some very special monuments. Apart from the Narrow Gauge Railway JHMD (see ), there is a splendid castle, the Gothic Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, the Church of Saint Catherine connected to the Franciscan monastery by a bridge called Little Monastery, the Holy Trinity sculpture in the centre of the Peace Square (Náměstí Míru) with surrounding Renaissance and Baroque buildings, the Museum of Photography in the buildings of the Jesuit College, and many more. Unfortunately, I had only a few hours for sightseeing. If you don't have much time, start to watch the video at 6:59 , it is its most atmospherical part, shot in the beginning dusk. :-)
Ein Spaziergang durch die Stadt und ums Schloss
Jindřichův Hradec (Neuhaus) ist eine schöne kleine Stadt in Südböhmen mit fast 22.000 Einwohnern. Im Sommer ist es nicht ganz so überfüllt mit Touristen wie andere böhmische Städte, dafür bietet es dem Besucher einige ganz besondere Sehenswürdigkeiten. Abgesehen von der Schmalspurbahn JHMD (siehe ) gibt es eine prächtige Burg, die gotische Kirche der Himmelfahrt Unserer Lieben Frau, der Kirche der heiligen Katharina, verbunden mit dem Franziskanerkloster durch eine Brücke, die Klösterchen genannt wird, die Skulptur der Heiligen Dreifaltigkeit in der Mitte des Marktplatzes (oder Platz des Friedens - Náměstí Míru) mit seinen umliegenden Renaissance- und Barockgebäuden, das Museum für Fotografie in den Gebäuden des ehemaligen Jesuitenkollegs, und vieles andere mehr. Falls du nicht viel Zeit hast, empfehle ich dir, das Video ab 6:59 zu gucken, das ist der atmosphärischste Teil, aufgenommen in dem Moment, als die Abenddämmerung einsetzte. :-)
Caminando por la ciudad y los alrededores del Castillo
Jindřichův Hradec es una pequeña ciudad hermosa en el sur de Bohemia, con casi 22.000 habitantes. En verano, no está tan llena de turistas como otras ciudades de Bohemia, pero ofrece al visitante algunos monumentos muy especiales. Aparte de la vía estrecha del tren JHMD (véase ) hay un castillo espléndido, la iglesia gótica de la Asunción de la Virgen María, la Iglesia de Santa Catalina, conectada al monasterio franciscano por un puente llamado monasterillo, la escultura de la Santísima Trinidad en el centro de la plaza de la Paz (Náměstí Míru) con sus edificios renacentistas y barrocos, el Museo de la Fotografía en los edificios del Colegio de los Jesuitas, y muchos más. Deafortunadamente sólo tuve muy pocas horas para hacer turismo allí. Si careces de mucho tiempo, te recomiendo empezar a ver el vídeo a partir de la posición en 6:59, es la parte más acogedora, grabada cuando el crepúsculo comenzaba. :-)
Promener à travers la ville et autour du château
Jindřichův Hradec est une belle ville de Bohême du Sud avec près de 22.000 habitants. En été, elle n'est pas surpeuplée par les touristes comme les autres villes de Bohême, mais elle offre au visiteur quelques monuments très spéciaux. En dehors de la voie étroite des chemins de fer du JHMD, il y a un magnifique château, l'église gothique de l'Assomption de la Vierge Marie, l'Église de Saint Catherine relié au monastère franciscain par un pont appelé «petit monastère», la sculpture Sainte Trinité dans le centre de la place de la paix (Náměstí Míru) avec des édifices de la Renaissance et du Baroque, le Musée de la photographie dans les bâtiments de Collège des Jésuites, et beaucoup plus. Malheureusement, j'avais seulement quelques heures pour visiter la ville. Si vous ne disposez pas de beaucoup de temps, commencez à regarder la vidéo à 6:59, ça c'est sa partie la plus atmosphérique, tourné quand le crépuscule a commencé. :-)
Procházky městem a okolí hradu
Jindřichův Hradec je krásné městečko v jižních Čechách s téměř 22.000 obyvateli. V létě, to není tak přeplněné turisty jako ostatní českých městech, ale nabízí návštěvníkovi několik speciálních památek. Kromě úzkorozchodná železnice JHMD ( ), je nádherný zámek, gotický kostel Nanebevzetí Panny Marie, Kostel sv. Kateřiny připojen k františkánského kláštera mostem (klášteříček), sousoší Nejsvětější Trojice na náměstí Míru a okolních renesanční a barokní stavby, muzeum fotografie v budovách jezuitská kolej, a mnoho dalších. Bohužel, měl jsem jen pár hodin na okružní. Pokud nemáte moc času, začněte se dívat na video v 6:59, to je jeho nejvíce atraktivní část, střílel na začátku soumraku. :-)

SUMMARY
=======
Moravia ( maw-RAY-vee-ə, -RAH-, moh-; Czech: Morava; German: Mähren ; Polish: Morawy; Latin: Moravia) is a historical country in the Czech Republic (forming its eastern part) and one of the historical Czech lands, together with Bohemia and Czech Silesia. The medieval and early modern Margraviate of Moravia was a crown land of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown (from 1348 to 1918), an imperial state of the Holy Roman Empire (1004 to 1806), later a crown land of the Austrian Empire (1804 to 1867) and briefly also one of 17 former crown lands of the Cisleithanian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1867 to 1918. During the early 20th century, Moravia was one of the five lands of Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 1928; it was then merged with Czech Silesia, and eventually dissolved by abolition of the land system in 1949.
Moravia has an area of over 22,000 km2 and about 3 million inhabitants, which is roughly 2/7 or 30% of the whole Czech Republic. The statistics from 1921 states, that the whole area of Moravia including the enclaves in Silesia covers 22,623.41 km2. The people are historically named Moravians, a subgroup of Czechs (as understood by Czechs). The land takes its name from the Morava river, which rises in the northern tip of the region and flows southward to the opposite end, being its major stream. Moravia's largest city and historical capital is Brno. Before being sacked by the Swedish army during the Thirty Years' War, Olomouc was another capital.Though officially abolished by an administrative reform in 1949, Moravia is still commonly acknowledged as a specific land in the Czech Republic. Moravian people are considerably aware of their Moravian identity and there is some rivalry between them and the Czechs from Bohemia.
