A Day Trip to the Czech Far West
During my brief stay at home this summer – which I have informally dubbed my Eurosummer – my sister’s endless badgering led us to undertake exactly one domestic trip. Her desired destination was Loket Castle, a sight that lies about an hour and a half west of Prague. Situated on a peninsula within the bend of the Ohře River , Loket can only be approached by a series of narrow winding paths that lead to the centrally located Masaryk Square. Scarcity means that parking is limited to two hours, so we had to strategically plan lunch around feeding cash into the parking meter.
