A Trip to a Remote UNESCO Village in Czech Republic...and Stonehenge
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- We traveled to a remote Czech village to visit a Czech version of Stonehenge. The village is called Holasovice and is today protected by the UNESCO World Heritage organization. Let's see which Stonehenge is better. The Czech one or the English one.
Holasovice is a small remote village located in Southern Bohemia. The first mention of the village comes from the 13th century. Since 1998 Holasovice is protected by the UNESCO world heritage organization for its rural baroque architecture and preservation of its typical medieval village layout.

Guys, we apologise for using Union Jack instead of the English flag in the video! We cannot change it anymore, unfortunately, so please forgive our ignorance! We should have watched Fun With Flags before editing this.
Hi can We Collab for blogging? i'm here already at Czech Republic. i'm one of your subscribers from Philippines...big opportunity for both of us to have more subscriber. i know if we do this Collab you can have more Filipino Subscriber, i assure you that. Sorry for messaging here.
Honestly the village looked more interesting than the stones.
Valery, keep doing what you are doing! Informative, snarky, and outright hilarious at times! I was married in Prague and traveled around Czech Republic and Slovakia, so I get most of the "inside" jokes too, love it, great job!
Thank you!!!
Valery I was waiting your next video and you shared a beautiful video as I was expecting. Valery much more love and kisses for you and you are my favourite guide I like your selection of location, I like your selection of dresses and I like your way of talking
Greetings from Brasília, Brazil!
For the foreigners among us. Please make lots more videos of places outside of Prague. This is so awesome.
what a lot of cool places are there in Czech Republic, thanks for the tips for visiting interesting places. this channel is the best for it !!!!!
Thanks for watching!
the whole country is lovely, family friendly and just plain unique. i remember the "Velvet Revolution: in '89 and found myself rooting for you folks as one would root for a football team.
Nice that you travel all the way down south to show this lovely village, at one of my country tours I’m have been in the village for a quick stop to eat something. But not really saw much of it. Maybe need to go back there then and enjoy the village and the nature around it. Maybe camping there
Please visit Ostra Botanicus...It is a Wonderful Place for Children and The Young At Heart!
Myself and my wife loved your video. In fact all of your videos. You make us laugh. We definitely want to visit here when we finally get back to Czech from the UK.. Would love to catch up with you for a drink.
Thanks for that.
I have been to Stonehenge.
Nothing spectacular.
Was once free access and sit and eat anywhere.
Now it is all about the money.
We visited the Holasovice in 2016.
I would gladly give my money there than ever visit Stonehenge again.
Stonehenge is like the scene from one of the Vacation movies with Chevy Chase where he says "look at the scenery kids"
He nods his head a few times and then move on.
Love your work.
1. don't stop!
2. keep going!
Greetings from Australia!
Those farm implements remind of the ones on my grandparents' farm near Beroun.... Beroun, Minnesota that is. Though, the town here was named after the city there...
Wow, didn't know you have a town like that there. That's cool!
@@RealPragueGuides There is a "New Prague, Minnesota" as well. It is not very far from where I live. However, for some odd reason that has been lost to time, they pronounce Prague with the a long "a" as in "day". I find it embarrassing.
Great video! Road tripping with you guys looks like great fun! Keep up the good work. Warmest greetings from San Diego.
Thank you, nice road trip.
A fun trip. And the food was good.
Maybe you can visit the castles you mentioned?
Maybe 😎
This was fun! The "Snarky Valery" episodes are my favorites! In 2000 years (if anyone survives) they will probably think this place is just as mysterious as the one in the UK . . . and maybe it will be! 😎
I LOVE your videos!! Wish I had seen them before I visited the Czech Republic! Terrific Information! Wish that I could live out the rest of my days in Prague.
Thanks, good to see another "Prague video" not showing the Charles Bridge.
Keep up the good work!
Fantastic road trip with Valery and friends. You guys always make it fun and informative. :)
I love all your videos and this is no exception, thank you for posting!!
I have been to the Stonehenge in England and liked it. It has a lot of history behind it and is definitely authentic.
It is Fakerino.
To RPG:
Have you considered setting up online tours for people who likely will never be able to visit the Czech Republic? It doesn't have to be in real-time, but comprehensive and informative - say lasting 2.5 to 3 hours. The trickiest part would of course be to get enough (or more than enough) people to have interest in the destinations, join and pay for such online tours to make it affordable for the participants and profitable for RPG. I would certainly be up for it if a tour costs say around EURO40-50.
Not really but maybe it will be necessary 😅. We would first need to figure out how to set it up. Right now we are super busy with people who actually travel here. Will let you know if we manage to set up a project like that!
@@RealPragueGuides Ok Have fun.
Thats great you can show us all those Czech perls lying around your beautifull country....and say hello to your super cats.
Will do!
If you keep traveling then you will become famous.
I am 1/2 Slovak, & 1/4 Irish. Naturally my vote is the Czech version.
I spent several years working in Ceske Budejovice. On weekends, I sometimes took a bike ride to Halošovice. It is always pretty and serene. Thanks for the video.
I loved the road trip. Tell us more about the food. Lunch looked fantastic, and very different than the enchiladas I just had here on the Texas coast. (The enchiladas were also fantastic) Thank you for taking us to Holasovice.
Thanks for watching Chris. Okay, next time we'll tell more about the food 🎂
@@RealPragueGuides Yes, definitely do more food. You can still say some mildly nice things about the food even if you don't like it.
Great video, you nailed it!!! 👍 👍 👍
Thanks!
i thoroughly enjoy your videos . i have lived near Stonehenge all my life but only went there once and you could climb on the stones!. Ok , it was about 53 years ago when I could climb a stone!. now i think entry is forbidden and its surrounded by minefields and man traps and you need a degree and a bank loan to operate the parking meter;s !. i find it just a pile of stones , I am much more impressed by Avebury, a place just up the road which is free and much more interesting to visit . i may be biased against Stonehenge for the last time i tried visiting we were turned away by the police who were trying to peacefully beat up hippies attempting a festival there in i think 1977? when police brutality was encouraged over here,
Tell me more about that blueberry dumpling!?
It was good 😀. Fell asleep in the car after I ate it.
Ah! Very monumental.. But I saw original Stonehenge too. That is only a Middle-European miracle!
Great Video Valeri ..thanks i finally made it to Czech rep..having an awesome time …now in Valtice & Lednice ..what an awesome sites ..both small villages have a big beautiful Castles …(as u know in dispute by lichtenstein Family)
I think will be a very interesting probably to cover in your next video.
Keep them coming !
Thanks! Will do! 😎
right on, that was a blast, the village being occupied is interesting, i wondered about that at first considering how everything looks neat and the grass is nice, thank you for explaining some of the history about the village, and before you revealed the age of the southern bohemian stonehenge, i had already considered the actual date of construction was not important to me and would have been quite thrilled to visit the place even if it was finished being built the day i arrived knowing it's a tourist attraction that makes money from visitors, who ever built it did a wonderful job from the looks of your video. take care.
I love watching your videos understand everything you say perfectly. I love your English. Do you get Americans like me that visit? Thanks for sharing and I love watching your other videos too Ms Valerie ( hugs) from 🇺🇲
Fantastic work. I was missing your videos.
I'd love learn checz. I love the story of your country.
Reminds me of some of the villages I visited in Hungary.
Those silos are close to Pisek 1:37
You have a good sense of humor Valarie. Hahaha
Beautiful places❤️
I went to the Holasovice stonehenge two years ago. Its a genuine psychotronic machine imho and I thank those who build and care for the place! The misunderstanding around it is to be expected.
We have a long tradition of Stonehenge too
Great thanks 🇬🇷⚒️🇨🇿♥️
Czech countryside towns are lovely! What I just don´t understand is... where is everybody? We go to the countryside on week or weekend and is the same = empty streets! Where is everybody at?
Probably at home watching TV 😅 or mushroom picking.
or covid.
Found it! All I had to do was type "village" in your search bar.
i love Valery ❤️
Hehehe, not worth the trip I guess. Go to Cesky Krumlov instead. I still love the way that you say Byyyyyyyy! at the end. You made my day again.
You can go to České Budějovice by train and then to Holašovice by bus, but I guess it's much faster by car from Prague.
BTW, this "shonehenge" is just tourist trap, visit village is nice because it's really historical, but I don't really support those people who are trying to make some fake history and earn money on that. At least it's cheap.
Please! The pneumatic mail!
In this video Lera has very strong accent.... why? Is she forgot about hot potatoe? .)
Nice, I just learned something new ....
Ohhhh .... Keene State T-shirt, I have this College 30 minutes from my house ....
Did you study there ???
Nope, I bought that in thrift store in Prague 😅
0:08 i love czech and slovak languages and spelling the words as well: HOLAŠOVICE 🤗 using my linux ubuntu character map
i'm gonna slam a couple beers before we roll out, this is going to be fun 😃
The nuclear cooling towers in the background make it a lot cooler than the real Stonehenge...
Call me a nuclear geek but I would love to see inside the reactor chamber when it's open for fuel change. Btw. Temelín nuclear powerplant is sort of unique because it's one of only two powerplants in the world (other one is in Finland) whitch has a reactor of Soviet construction (type VVER 1000) and it's control mechanisms from the U.S.
@@Geker3 Yeah. I wish someone offered tours of industrial sites for us mechanical/industrial geeks...
@@stevemcgowen I dont know how it is there in Temelín, but it is possible to visit nuclear power plant in Dukovany.
@@xsc1000 I’ve been in both but only in info-centres not in accual powerplant.

3:19 To me, these buildings look like cakes or gingerbread houses.

Dude, party the hell up.

I think you need a car to get there

Dear oh dear. As a Scottish person it saddens me to see England and the UK still being treated as one and the same....they are not!!! If you want to refer to Stonehenge as English then fair enough, it is in England but referring to England and using the flag of the UK is not on.
Dear Paisley, would you like us to change the flag to English flag (which we might have hard time finding in the FREE version of thumbnail maker) or would you like us to call it British Stonehenge? We'll change it to your liking. We have no intent of saddening anybody.
Actually there is nothing we can do to change this, since we also used the flag in the video. We apologise if it upset you.
@@RealPragueGuides The Scotch people will still invade England when they get drunk at Football in London with their cheap bomber jackets singing"Bay City Rollers Songs" calling everyone Jimmy and thinking they are now "Jocknee".
what a rip off :-)))))))
