First exploring the castles around Dresden, starting with Schloss Moritzburg North of Dresden
The castle is featured in the 1973 Czech movie, Three wishes for Cinderella (Tri orísky pro Popelku) hence the following golden shoe statue at the castle
Albrechtsburg, North-west of Dresden
Featuring this amazing castle
Turning back to Dresden, Schloss Wackerbarth
On to Dresden, beautiful city
Frauenkirche in Dresden, left one in the picture above (bottom right is Katholische Hofkirche)
Of course castles in Dresden as well, behind the Katholische Hofkirche.
Then this caught my eye
Panometer / Gasantstalt Reick
Apparently it’s a gas tank build in 1909
Time to leave Germany behind, on to Prague
A pretty lake on the way, Novozámecký Rybník
Racing along the Vitava river through Prague
With some extra scenery added thanks to @SnakeKobra
Close up of the bridge
Astronomical clock from 1410
So much to see in Prague as a virtual tourist, funny to find the sex machines museum not far from the torture museum. One inspired the other, similar ‘machines’ and instruments
Prague is a real tourist trap. Church of our lady before Týn on the old town square.
Onwards, the landscape at Lichnice-Kankovy Hory
My usual style of landing approaches, here at Jindřichův Hradec
Another pretty town, of course with a castle
Ceské Budejovice
Featuring the Samson fountain and Black tower from the 1500’s
Taking a little shortcut through Austria, Dobersberg
Known for Herbst Rallye Dobersberg
A working dam (for MSFS) at Namest
Autodrom Brno, back in Czechia
Brno is quite a nice city as well
Yeah, it has a castle or several, and you can visit a nuclear bunker 10-Z
Into Austria again, Vienna
WU6 update, Vienna is now a PG area
Down there is the iconic Prater Ferris Wheel, same view from the ferris wheel
Pretty close match after WU6
It will forever be tied to the 1949 British film noir The third man with Orson Welles, great actor!
Flying by Komarno along the Danube river on the way to Budapest
In the point there, this old fortress you can walk through in street view
We’re in Slovakia now, very cute town
Arriving in Budapest at dusk
Exploration will have to wait for the sun to return, plus I need a break.
