From my time in Germany, where I learned a bit about mushroom hunting, those look like what they called butterpilz.

Those are South American trumpet flowers. Pretty, but toxic.

Wow, what an interesting history of this town. Lovely buildings and WOW, love the castle!
4 years agonothing like "home sweet home"
4 years agoGood spotting on the prices - I had to enlarge the photo to see. But hey, 160 krone is still 9 Canadian dollars!

4 years agoThis looks like a storybook town. So perfectly preserved and clean. Love the "waffles" how unique. What a treat to be able to see this. Probably not somewhere most people visit. Proving once again that touring on a bicycle is a wonderful way to travel. Beautiful pictures and thanks for the history.
4 years agoBring one back for me please!
4 years agoAbsolutely worth it!
4 years agoYes riding in the Czech Republic is a challenge but we have loved it Some lovely little towns including the famous ones that you are in now but certainly not an area you can travel a great distance each day

I am sure the climbing is likely to be more frequent and more difficult now that you have left the Danube behind. I suspect Ron and Carol have triples on the Surly LHTs which probably helps them quite a bit. But I do not believe there is any shame in walking; as you say, better that than falling over.

Those look like poisonous agaric mushrooms.
