The beautiful castle of Konopiste in the Czech Republic.

It contains among other things fine collections of trophies of Prince Franz Ferdinand of Austria.

The beautiful Konopiste Castle, with the lake in the foreground. A path around the lake provides a pleasant walk through the forest. I remember when walking around it, seeing a snake slithering away in the grass. Something I did not expect to see in temperate Europe.

A small selection of Prince Franz Ferdinand's collection of trophies.

Another wonderful corridor in the castle.

A winter fairytale castle. Konopiste covered in snow.

I must find my own collection of photos of Konopiste from my trip.
