Room with a View: Durnstein

Our visit to the fabulously beautiful Durnstein Abbey included a side trip, and I was delighted to discover another treasure. 

This wee room had blinds over the window, but opened up onto a beautiful view of the courtyard. A perfect place for nuns over the centuries to escape from the pressures of life for a few contemplative moments.

Room with a View: Cesky Krumlov

After lunch at the Two Marys restaurant in Český Krumlov, in an old house with the atmosphere of a medieval pub, I climbed the narrow, winding stairs to discover - a room with a view!

I couldn’t photograph it in a way that would do it justice because of the irregular shape of the room, but seated way up high, one could look out over the river and the beautiful town below.

I am clearly not the first to have been captured by the view from here because my Google search of the restaurant turned up other photos of this unique room !
