In a country that has plenty of pretty town squares this one has to take the prize for the prettiest. The town centre is small and as said below is little more than a square. It is encircled on three sides by ponds that were used as defensive moats originally and now are used for rowing boats. Most of the houses on the square are gabbled and ornately decorated; many have private rooms to rent, many work out to be quite cheap and offer a great central location.

There is a chateaux at one end of the square that has some immaculately kept gardens and a clock tower that gives you a good over view of the whole town.

When I visited there was a medieval fair in the main square so there were a lot of tourists. However my friends that visited before me said it was very quiet, and I guess from Rob's quote below that it is most of the time pretty well most tourists itineraries. This may have to do with the fact that it can be quite a hard place to get to; as the train links are very infrequent, only really two trains of any use service it a day. The best way to get here is by bus. It is only 20km along the road from Trebic which is also a WHS and it is a pretty simple trip to make.

It is well worth making a trip here as it is one of the prettiest places in Central Europe and a perfect place to spend some time relaxing.
