I have long wanted to visit the Czech Republic. The choice fell on the city of Teplice. This is a small provincial town of Czech Republic. It is famous for its balneological hospitals that are based 2000 years ago and amazingly beautiful nature. The city is immersed in the picturesque valley of the right influx of Elba -rechi Bilina. It stands on the border in Germany, on the one hand, the worst mountains with another Czech Middlegorod, it is the environment of the mountains and forests attracted me to this place.
I flew by the aircraft Volgograd - Moscow - Prague, the cost of a ticket 25,000 rubles, ordered in advance in September, and flew in December. Not stable December weather delivered a lot of trouble, since flights were constantly postponed or delayed for 3-6 hours. In Prague, we met a small bus and delivered us directly to the entrance of the Beethoven Hotel, for free.
Hotel Beethoven is one of the oldest in Teplice, where the balneological treatment of the musculoskeletal system is carried out, especially it is necessary to elderly people who, as well as the joints hurt. Located in a quiet historical part of the city surrounded by well-groomed, with a beautiful parking design. It was not only treated with such celebrities as Beethoven, Goethe, Wagner, Chopin, Leaf, but also received creative inspiration. His new year was met in the restaurant "Beethoven", where the middle of the hall is worth a white piano, and the singers performed the works of these composers. A delicious dinner of traditional Czech cuisine, roasted grilled meat with vegetables and a large circle of Czech beer for 30 euros.

Where to go to the greenhouse?
The most interesting place for me is the Botanical Garden, which was created in the 17th century by the representative of the Austrian Prince of Clariorgen's Prince, as "City Gardening". The garden is near hot springs and therefore there are tropical plants, Mexico plants, Africa. I went to the aquarium, and terrarium posted on the territory of the Botanical Garden.
Majestically rises in the center of the city town hall, built in the 156th century, it is also called the Bernardian monastery. Over the city rises the castle of Doorobravka. Modern buildings of extraordinary architecture is the Krushnogorsky Theater, North Czech Philharmonic, the Regional Museum of Teplice in the building of the 30th century female abbey, planetarium and art gallery. Great curiosity caused the castle of Duztsov, where she lived his days and wrote Memoirs to Jacomo Casanova. On the Castle Square, the Mariana column is towering, the crown of the Exaltation of St. Cross, Temple of John the Baptist, three-storey house "Golden Cross".
Music festivals are held in the greenhouse. There are many tourists in any season. I was in December, all rooms were busy.
Excursions from greenhouses.
Representatives of travel agencies come to the hotel and offer excursions, the benefit that the German cities of Leipzig, Dresden, Maissen are located near 50 km. Visited in the city where wooden nutcracker is made, wooden barometers.
In the center of this town is the Nutcracker, 9 meters of growth. In Meissen, visited the Museum of the Porcelain. At the entrance, did not pay attention to the hydrangeas standing in the vase, and when it began to go out, then suddenly realized that the flowers were not alive, but from the porcelain. That was surprise!
I went to Carlo-Vary, to them 1.45 by taxi for 3200 czk, by train after every hour for 120 CZK.
For one trip, it is not possible to get acquainted with the country, but I really liked the Czech Republic!
