Bohemia & Bavaria October 2005

 

fter our trip to Prague, we headed off to the Western Border region of Bohemia by Train to Cheb, which is located right on the border between the Czech Republic and Germany; so a great location to go exploring. During our time in the region, we spent time at Cheb, Sokolov, Svaty Kriz, and Marianske Lazne in Czech Republic, as well as Mitterteich, Waldsassen, and Weiden in Germany. We have been to all of these places before, apart from Sokolov.
