Josh Leo's Vlog

Salzburg is a great place to enjoy some great treats. Mozartkugeln are very popular in Salzburg but I think I enjoyed the spirits the most!

Salzburg is an awesome city to visit. There is a ton to see and do, but one of the most exciting things for us was to see all the real-life Sound of Music sites in the city. This is our video homage to one of the best films ever made.

Hallstatt, Austria is home to the oldest salt mine in the world. It was an interesting and educational experience to visit it.

The lakeside town of Hallstatt is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is probably the most beautiful and quaint little towns I have ever visited. It is a must for anyone traveling through Austria.

Melk is a great little town along the Danube. We stayed there for one night. The area is known for 2 things: the Melk Abbey and Grüner Veltliner – a white wine that is now one of our favorites!

We spent 2 nights in Vienna. Looking back, we didn’t plan enough time in this charming city. We didn’t know it was going to be so great!

The old town of Český Krumlov is surrounded by a big bend in the Vltava River. One of the most fun things to do on this river is go canoeing!

My yearly slideshow of every photo from the past year.

The Czech Republic is known for it’s marionette shows. Český Krumlov has a great little marionette museum featuring many different styles of marionettes and a shop as well. This is just a sampling of some of the marionettes in the museum.

Our apartment in Český Krumlov was the nicest place we stayed in Europe. The location was fantastic, and it was such a unique place to stay.

If you want to learn more about the apartment, just visit their website: Apartment Soukenicka 44

“De Fanfare van de Eerste Liefdesnacht” is the colorful band featured in this video. They filled the winding streets of Český Krumlov with music that made me run out of our room and get a closer listen.

They are amazing performers and put on a great show!

the second stop on our trip was the small city of Český Krumlov. It has windy streets, a windy river surrounding it, and a big castle up on the hill. It is a UNESCO world heritage site and is just unbelievably beautiful.

We made sure to watch all our favorite travel channel shows episodes about Prague before we left. After watching Anthony Bourdain’s episode, there was one thing that stuck out to me: the fried cheese sandwich.

One of the main reasons we took a day trip to Kutna Hora was to see the beautiful St. Barbara Church. St. Barbara is the Patron saint of miners, and since Kutna Hora was the center of silver mining in Bohemia, this church was not lacking in its construction budget. It sits on the hillside and has fantastic flying buttresses. The interior was very peaceful and even had some very old frescoes featuring people taking part in the daily mining activities. It is one of my favorite churches I have visited in Europe.
