PISEK, CZECH REPUBLIC

Day 182: I spent a beautiful autumn day roaming the small town on Pisek in the Czech republic. It was my last day in the village. I will miss its beauty! Enjoy.

Pisek ND 1997 - part 2: the church

Visit to Pisek, North Dakota in the summer of 1997. Pisek was established in 1882 by Frank P. Rumreich and other Czech and Moravian settlers. Pisek was chosen as the name partly because some of the settlers had come from Pisek, Czechoslovakia, and also because the town was built near a sand ridge and Pisek means sand in Czech.

In Písek, cross the oldest bridge in the Czech lands!

Do you know where to find the Czech Republic’s oldest bridge? In the South Bohemian city of Písek! It is enough just to walk over its ancient cobblestones and you will be instantly transported back to the days when the city was ablaze with gold fever. Stroll through the historical centre of Písek and experience a place that was once among the foremost cities in the kingdom. And remember to keep a careful look out: Perhaps waiting for you somewhere is a little bit of gold-studded sand!

A Hill on the Edge of the Otava River (Pisek, Czech Republic)

A short downhill ride on the edge of the Otava River in Pisek, Czech Republic. My first attempt to ride downhill. Chosen a short, straight, average descent, but peppered with small rock patches and ancient roots. Awesome! It was exhilarating! The ride and the video... dedicated to my beloved wife, Mary Jo-ann.

Sand Sculptures-Historical Figures by Písek Bridge-Czech Republic

Sand sculptures are built in Písek along the banks of Otava river by the bridge every year during sand sculpture competitions. In 2011 the sand sculptures represented Historical figures of the Rožmberk/Rosenberg family which was a significant powerhouse in Europe for centuries.

Písecké Slavnosti or Písek Festival followed the sand sculpture competition which took place at the end of May, 2011 a few weeks later and that is when this video was made.

Back to the Rožumerks/Rosenbergs: The last member of the family Petr Vok z Rožmberka or Peter Vok from Rožmberk/Rosenberg aka Peter Wok von Rosenberg was born in 1539 in Český Krumlov and died in 1611 in Třeboň at the age of 72. He is buried in Vyšší Brod. All the places mentioned are found in the Czech Republic.

Although he spent most of his time in Central Europe he visited the Netherlands and England in 1562 where he was received by Queen Elizabeth I at the age of 23.

He was a big collector of knowledge and gathered one of the largest libraries of books at his time. Petr Vok was also a rare kind noble who didn't raise taxes and who fed the poor at his castle daily.

Enjoy.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Písek Gate (Czech: Písecká brána), also called Bruska Gate (Czech: Bruská brána) is a former city gate of Baroque fortification of Prague, Czech Republic. Once belonging to the fortification section called Marian Walls (Czech: Mariánské hradby) it is located in K Brusce Street in the Hradčany neighbourhood, not far from Hradčanská metro station. Other sights in the vicinity include Royal Summer Palace or Villa Bílek. Nowadays Písek Gate is the only preserved gate of the city proper and one of four remaining of the whole fortification system (Tábor, Leopold and Chotek (Brick) gates are part of Vyšehrad Fortress).

The name has nothing in common with town of Písek in Southern Bohemia but it derives from a previous medieval gate which used to stand several hundred steps away, at Písek, a defunct suburb of Lesser Quarter (located approximately where Valdštejnská Street is today). This suburb together with the old gate was demolished in the 1620s in order to make space for then newly built Wallenstein Palace. The alternative name derives from the Brusnice (Bruska) stream, a tiny tributary of the Vltava River running along northern side of Prague Castle.

The gate was situated between bastions of St George and St Ludmilla. It was built as one of latest parts of Baroque fortification in 1721 by architect Giovanni Battista Alliprandi after a design by František Vogot. Písek Gate serving northbound traffic was one of three city gates in the left bank part of Prague (the other were westbound Imperial Gate (Czech: Říšská brána) located in what is now Dlabačov Street and southbound Újezd Gate (Czech: Újezdská brána) in Újezd Street). During the War of the Austrian Succession in 1741 understaffed and weakly defended Písek Gate was where troops of Charles Albert, Elector of Bavaria and claimant to the throne of Bohemia, entered Prague. After the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 it was decided that fortified cities were no longer necessary and the fortification ring of Prague started to be gradually dismantled. The Marian Walls survived until the turn of 20th century when only fractions, including Písek Gate, were left. Thanks to a new road bypassing it, the gate was no longer considered an obstacle for growing traffic and remained standing. In 2000 - 2002 Písek Gate underwent restoration and was turned into a café and gallery; wedding ceremonies are held there as well.
