Tips
The Stone Bridge between the Old Town and the Prague suburbs in Písek is one of the oldest bridges in Central Europe and the oldest bridge in the Czech Republic, making it even older than the more famous Charles Bridge in Prague. The bridge has been a National Cultural Monument since 1989. The Gothic structure bridges the Otava River about 110 kilometers south of the capital Prague. Copies of baroque statues and crosses are placed along the entire length of the bridge. A flood in 2002 severely damaged the building fabric.writes Wikipedia
