You step into the van before dawn in Prague, city lights fading as the road heads south. The Vltava river slips past fields and small towns, daring you toward the baroque profile of Hluboká Castle and the compact medieval maze of Český Krumlov. By midmorning the castle’s white façades and landscaped parks open like a page of history; later the town’s winding cobbled alleys and the river’s lazy loop frame a living portrait of Bohemian life.
