You leave Prague at first light, the city thinning behind you as lanes of highway slice through fields and low hills. The van hums; the Vltava river appears like a deliberate curve on the map and then becomes real—arching around Cesky Krumlov so that the town folds inward toward the water. Stepping onto the cobbles, you feel the town’s geometry: narrow lanes, painted façades, and the castle rising over the horseshoe bend.
