The unspoiled town has the Vltava River running through its veins and the castle dominates the scenery. With a population of just 15,000 people, it sits about four hours to the south of Prague and is basically a fairy-tale town.

It surrounded by magnificent hills in the southern region of the nation and the surrounding countryside is quite pastoral countryside.

It’s always been a popular site over the years and that’s why Slavic, Celtic, and German tribes settled here a few centuries ago. The town was one of the most glamorous in all of Europe during the 16^th century as aristocrats from all over the continent were attracted to it.

The castle belonged to the Rozmberk family, which controlled the town from it for 300 years up until around 1600. You can take an hour-long escorted tour into the castle to get a close up look at the Bohemian lifestyle the family used to live.

The castle features a round tower which was manned by guards in the medieval days to make sure the citizens had no problems while crossing the river. There is also a bear pit which houses a European brown bear family and a huge colorful garden.

One of the most popular areas of the castle is the Baroque theatre. This is where the Rozmberk family would go to be entertained by local performers. The tour takes you under the stage where you can see the old-fashioned contraptions which were used to change scenery. The Baroque theater in Cesky Krumlov is just one of two in Europe that has been well preserved, with the other being in Stockholm, Sweden.

If you head over the river from the castle, you’ll come to the beautiful Old Town district. This is filled with curved Gothic buildings and wonderful winding streets. The main square can be found in the middle of the Old Town and this is surrounded by Baroque and Renaissance homes from the 12^th century. One of the most popular spots for children is the nearby Puppet Museum where youngsters can check out their favorite fairy tale creations.

The dreamy Vltava River is an ideal spot for canoeing as it takes you past Bohemian villages and forests as well as riverside pubs and cafes where you can stop for some splendid local refreshments and dishes. There’s also a fine cycling path which follows the winding river. When the sun goes to sleep for the night, the residents of Cesky Krumlov don’t join it. You’ll find most of them are out having a great time drinking and dining and simply enjoying themselves.

There are several popular summer festivals each year with the Celebration of the Rose, which takes place in June, being one of the biggest. Local residents take the opportunity to celebrate and honor their medieval roots at this event and it’s one huge party. The town also hosts world-class music festivals on a regular basis.

You can visit Cesky Krumlov as a day trip if you’re staying in Prague, but it really deserves to have much more attention afforded it than just a few hours. If possible, spend at least one night there as it’s very easy to see why this splendid town is the second-most visited community in the Czech Republic.

These are some of the destinations you’ll find with the strangest names.

1. Disappointment, Kentucky, USA

You could be disappointed if you wind up in Disappointment, Kentucky. It’s not actually a town, but more of an area that’s surrounded by the beautiful forested hills of southern Kentucky. There’s not really much to explore, in Disappointment Knox County, and perhaps that’s how it got its name.

2. Why, Arizona, USA

Why is a tiny, rural Arizona community with another strange name. The community sits where state highways 86 and 86 meet with each other at a Y-shaped intersection.

The village founders then decided to call the place Why. They couldn’t just call it Y, since the law in Arizona states that all communities must have a minimum of three letters in their names.

It’s a charming little spot in Pima county, not far from the Mexican border. The dry desert scenery is great and the Organ Pipe National Monument, which is a UNESCO biosphere region, is nearby.

3. Pity Me, Durham, England

The small and lovely town of Pity Me is located in England’s County Durham, close to the magnificent city of Durham, which features a work-famous university, castle, and Norman cathedral. In fact, Harry potter fans may know the cathedral as Hogwarts. Nobody’s exactly sure how the town got its name. However, some feel it was translated from the French ‘petit mer.’ Others think it was named after a boggy wasteland known as Pithead.

4. No Name, Colorado, USA

There’s been a horse with no name and a man with no name, now we have a town named No Name. The name might have been joke at the time, but nobody’s sure. Rumors have it that the state’s transportation department placed a sign on Interstate 70 to let people know about a small unnamed village. One of the residents wrote No Name on top of the exit sign and the name just happened to stick, even though the local government tried to change it. .

5. Hell, Michigan, USA

I’m sure this isn’t the only Hell in the world, but it might be the most famous in the USA. It’s located in Michigan’s Livingston County and the small, charming town isn’t shy about cashing in on its odd name. Again, nobody knows for sure how the town got its name, but you’ll find plenty of souvenirs, merchandise, and t-shirts for sale here to celebrate it.

6. Failsworth, Oldham, Manchester, England

This town is located in Oldham, which lies in the Greater Manchester area of England. It’s been the hometown of several famous people, such as politicians, a supermodel, and athletes. It was an important location during the Industrial Revolution, and you can still see the fabulous Victorian architecture there today.

7. Embarrass, Minnesota, USA

This Minnesota Township lies in St. Louis County. The name comes from the French word embarrass, which actually means to hinder with difficulties or obstacles. Many years ago French fur traders found it quite hard to navigate the local landscape by canoe and decided to name the local river Embarrass and the river’s name was soon incorporated into the township.

8. Boring, Oregon, USA

This small locality lies just outside of the city of Portland. However, the story of its name is actually pretty boring since it was named after a resident named W.H Boring. The area is involved in the timber industry. One of the best sites is the Boring Lava Field, which is an ancient volcanic zone.

Renting

The first thing you have to make sure of if you have an estate that you can rent. In some cases this is forbidden by the contract. Also look for the associated obligations and fees.

Price

The second step that you have to take is to set the price. It is also good to learn about the competition. Find information about what the other rentals have to offer and also their price. It is better to avoid setting the price without any previous information. This way you can be sure that your price is competitive.

Advertising

The sooner you start to advertise, the better. Those who rent usually make plans in advance. The best thing you could do is to start the advertising about 3 months before the timeshare becomes available. In the same time you will have better results if you start advertising 6-12 months in advance.

No expensive advertisement

You don’t have to break the bank with the advertisement. There are many different options for this purpose that are relatively cheap. The first thing you should try to is post to free services. Start at craigslist.org. Also list the rental on ebay.com and be really careful about the advertising that you pay for. Naturally the offline methods could also work, such as word of mouth.

If you’re finding that you’re not attracting enough interest on your own, look for highly trusted timeshare resale and rental advertising companies that can help you like SellMyTimeshareNOW.com.

Don’t get desperate

If you do get desperate you could make some mistakes with the renters that you accept. You don’t need 15 students in a 3 bedroom unit. You will end up having more problems than you imagined. Make sure that the property isn’t at the risk of damages.

Weeks instead of days

You should rent the timeshare for weeks instead of days. It may be tempting to offer the place for a couple of days, but it isn’t really worth it. This is because you can deal with one single renter easier than with several different renters.

If this sounds like a lot to worry about each year and you don’t feel like keeping up with it, you can also sell your timeshare to someone else to enjoy it.  Your vacation should always be fun and enjoyable so don’t hold on to something that’s more work than it’s worth.

Prices are typically still low in these months and there are hundreds of great places to visit. These are 6 of the most fun trips at this time of the year.

Take a look at our holiday health essentials and make sure you pack them.

Sunburn

Being careful in the sun is a must. Make sure you pack a high factor sun cream for the first few days. Remember to ease yourself in to time in the sun. Hats are important as is a little time in the shade. If you have kids with you choose cream with a factor of at least SPF30 – 40.

If you find yourself suffering from sunburn use an aloe vera gel to soothe your skin.

Insect bites

Most of us suffer from insect bites whilst on holiday. The bites can often get red, sore and itchy. Make sure you pack an insect repellent with you and some cream to treat it in case you do get bitten.

Colds and flu

It sounds weird doesn’t it? Getting a cold on holiday. It’s always something we associate with cold weather, but in reality colds occur whenever exposed to germs. Often on holiday as we start to unwind and relax, it can creep up on you. Illness whilst abroad can be awful, so make sure you pack sufficient nasal decongestant and paracetamol.

Stomach upsets

This is the biggest problem for holidaymakers, with a high percentage of people suffering from stomach troubles when abroad. For the kids, make sure you have rehydration powders on hand, as well as some over the counter medicines for the adults.

Inoculations

It all depends on where you go, but if you’re heading a little further afield on holiday you may need a variety of inoculations. The best way to find out what you need (if any) is to pay a visit to the nurse at your GP surgery. They can advise you depending upon your travel plans and then provide you with a course of inoculations if need be.

In fact, some of them look like they just don’t belong, such as upside down trees and other physics-defying objects.

While you’re not exactly traveling in the Twilight Zone, these are some of the oddest sites and sights that you may see on our wondrous planet.

1. New Zealand: The Moeraki Boulders

(photo credit: Micheal Dawes)

(photo credit: msojka)

(photo credit: dotdoubledot)

This is a dry lake that sits next to the famous Death Valley. The intense heat dries and cracks the lakebed during the dry season. What you’ll notice here are the boulders that you’ll find. There are tracks along the dusty lakebed which indicates that the boulders have moved across the dry landscape even though some of them weigh as much as 700 lbs.

The boulders are known as sailing stones, but nobody’s witnessed one moving. It’s believed that when rain falls and softens the lakebed, the rocks are pushed by the area’s high winds. Others believe when the lakebed freezes the rocks slide across it from the winds.
