This is the clock tower on the zamek.

This is the Zamek, or castle, in Telc, see from the square.

This is the Hasicsky Dum, or literally the firehouse, or old firehouse, as it's now an art gallery.

Here's another view of the square, with the castle, or Zamek in the back.

This is one of the old water pumps in town. The Czech Republic still has these all over the country, in both Bohemia and Moravia, in spite of their scarcity in many other developed countries. Even Prague still has them, although the water isn't fit to drink from all of them.

Here's another shot of the square in Telc.

This is the famous Baroque town square of Telc, which actually has some buildings dating back to the 16th Century.

....and an even closer shot of the Tower of St. Duch.

Here's a closer view of the tower of St. Duch....

Here's one of the deer in the moat (or whatever).

Here you can see the Tower of St. Duch, and what's left of the city moat (or I think that's what that big trench was, anyway). Today the moat (or whatever it is) is used as a pasture.

Here's a closer shot of Pivnice Armagedon

This is a roundabout that includes portions of Masarykova and Slavickova, an arrangement for naming that I haven't seen anywhere else. Normally, this would be a square with a name, or something similar. The building with the mural on the left is not one that I'm familiar with, but the Pivnice Armagedon forms part of it.

This was the yard, with a Class 814 and an 810 waiting to work local services. Telc doesn't have a direct connection to Prague, in spite of its status, but it can be reached fairly easily via either Tabor and Kostelec u Jihlavy or Havlickuv Brod and Kostelec u Jihlavy. At some times of day, Kostelec can also be accessed more quickly via Ceske Budejovice.

This is the station at Telc, a popular tourist destination and UNESCO world heritage site. I visited at the time when there were very few tourists there, partly because it was right after New Year's, but also because the weather was quite cold and most of the businesses were closed.
