Holasovice by Els Slots

Holasovice has been on my to-do list for a while, but to be honest, if this place were not on the WH list, hardly anybody would ever go there. It´s really very, very small, just a village green, a fish pond, a chapel, and some houses, all well preserved and tidy, to be sure, but World Heritage material? UNESCO says it´s a representative example of South Bohemian folk Baroque..., well, I´m no expert, but why is there no example of, say, East Moravian folk Baroque on the list, then? It just doesn´t seem to be that remarkable. If you come on a weekend, it´s not very easy to reach, either, since there seems to be only one bus a day from Ceske Budejovice (Budweis). Taking a taxi is a pricier, but more comfortable option, since you can tell the driver to wait all the ten minutes it takes you to see everything (and I mean, really everything) without having to wait an eternity for the next bus. If you are not into WH sites or South Bohemian folk Baroque, skip this one.
