Rozhmberk nad Vltavou

Rozhmberk (or Rozmberk) nad Vltavou is a charming town in the south of Czech Republic, situated on the Vltava River not far from Cesky Krumlov. 
One of the sights here is the church of St. Nicholas.




The river is as calm as the town itself.


It's pleasant to walk among old houses.




The central point of the town is the old (dating to the 13th century) Rozhmberk Castle.




A rose was on the coat of arms of the ancient owners of the castle - the Rosenberg (in German), or Rozmberk (in Czech), family. The family name means "Mount of roses", what is really a case now.
