Yesterday (Aug. 12), Sarah and I decided to head far out of the city and explore the rest of the country. We weren’t sure where to go, so we got up early, traveled to the train station, sat down on the ground and played a card game called Monopoly Deal. The winner got to choose our destination. After Sarah won, she selected a very pretty town southwest of Prague, near the border of Austria, but the4-hour train ride didn’t leave for another two hours. Sarah then deferred to me. My selection was a national park northeast of Prague called Cesky Raj and the train left in 20 min. We agreed this was a very careful and thought out decision, so we bought two round trip tickets, covering a travel distance of 102km, costing us 320 crowns or $18.60. The day was off to a frugal start.
We arrived in a town called Turnov and began asking questions about how to get to the national park. We kept getting the same answer – “You’re here.” We were in the heart of the national park and didn’t know what direction to go. We asked the tourist centre and they told us of a hike through the Hruboskalsko Rock Towns. It was incredible! We really enjoyed that hike and we would visit again.
