Eastern Europe Backpacking and Freedom Camping

Freedom Camping in Eastern Europe Day 12: After two notable dates in Cesky, we had to move on. I will greatly miss this quiet fairy tale medieval town. Drinking games, bonfires, riverside camping, an engagement, local pubs and some of the cheapest and best food and beers I’ve ever had. We roamed the pedestrian only […]
