Alexei Novak – First encounter with the Czech Republic in 2005 My acquaintance with the Czech Republic began with an unexpected inheritance – a distant relative left me a small house in a picturesque village near Brno. I planned to quickly process the documents and sell the property, but fate had other plans. When I first stepped over the threshold of this ancient house with its tiled roof, a strange feeling came over me, as if I had returned home. Apple trees bloomed in the garden, neighbors brought homemade bread and told stories about my ancestor – a Czech musician. Deciding to stay for a few months, I hardly noticed how they turned into almost 20 years of life between Prague and the towns of Moravia, where I constantly discover new facets of this country. The Czech Republic is multifaceted. Behind the postcard views of Prague and the famous beer lies a deep culture that often remains unnoticed by ordinary tourists. Those who find an approach to the locals discover a completely different country – not the one shown in guidebooks. Over these years I have conducted hundreds of tours to little-known corners of the Czech Republic and written two books on Czech cuisine and traditions. I've had the opportunity to consult for historical films shot in the Czech Republic and create an educational program about Czech culture. I help tourists in difficult situations and share my knowledge with everyone who wants to see the real Czech Republic – a country where every stone breathes history, and every mug of beer can be the beginning of an amazing friendship.

Vyšehrad is an ancient fortress located on a hill over the Vltava River. Old legends about the Princess Libuše say, that she foretold golden age and world’s fame of the city of Prague.

Today Vyšehrad is a very beautiful green site. Most of its territory is covered with green gardens. From the viewing points you can enjoy astonishing views of Vltava River.

The most notable architectural structure in Vyšehrad is the Gothic Church of ST. Peter and St Paul. Within the Church you can see the Cemetery, containing the remains of many famous people from Czech history.

In the middle of the park you can see numerous monuments including the statue of the Princess Libuše, an old statue of Wenceslas which had formerly been placed in Wenceslas Square and others.

Another interesting and mysterious object in Vysehrad area is a strange formation of three stone columns called the Devil´s Column.

After getting some rest under the shadows of Vyšehrad park trees we made our way toward the Petřín Hill.
