Cesky Krumlov is a medieval town situated in southern Bohemia, at a serpentine
bend in the Vltava River. The huge magnificent Renaissance castle, overlooking
the town, offers rich collections of period furniture, tapestries, and historical
weapons. Its original medieval owners, the powerful Rozmberk called it the
"City of the Red Rose" after their family crest. Later the city

crowd the hills and the banks of the river that snakes through the heart of

Pilsner Brewery and Glassfactory
View Gallery
The Pilsner brewery is located in the capital city of West Bohemia region –
Plzen city. The historical records of brewing in Plzen date back to 1295 when
Václav II gave the privilege of brewing to 260 households. A tour at the Pilsner
Urquell brewery shows the history of beer making and the process used to make
the first pilsner beer. Part of the tour takes visitors underground into the
tunnels that make up the brewery's beer cellars. Visitors are given the opportunity
to drink the unfiltered, un-pasteurized "reference" beer directly
from one of the old barrels. Historically, much of the brewing process occurred
in the large network of tunnels under the brewery. The brewery changed to
stainless steel tanks above ground but continues to use wooden barrels and
the tunnels for the "reference beer" to assure that the beer made
with more modern methods is the same as the historical beer. As its name indicates
("Urquell" is German for "original source" or "ancient
source"), it is the world's first pilsner, or golden beer, developed
by Bavarian brewer Josef Groll in 1842. Most popular lagers produced in the
rest of the world are based upon this original beer. Any beer that calls itself
a pilsner, pilsner or pils is referring to its being made in the style of
this beer, first formulated in the Plzeň area. Pilsner Urquell is somewhat
heavier (with an almost ale-like fruitiness in the malt body) and more strongly
hopped than most so-called pilsners. Saaz hops, a noble hop variety, are a
key element in its flavour profile. Entrance included in price.
