Chrast

If you come to Chrast by bus, it will bring you to the square with the church of Holy Trinity in the middle, where all kinds of Masses take place.

Along this chateau garden you can walk through an old linden tree alley which leads around to the natural theatre. Nowadays, this theatre is ruined, but it still offers extraordinary view. When you cross the forest in which the theatre is sitGigas, the biggest hand-written book in the world, was written there. And as a legend says it was written with help of the devil by an anonymous mink in one day. I absolutely recommend to visit this small town which you definitely recognize thank to its high yellow waterworks tower that creates a typical skyline.

 

There is a beautiful chateau as well. The ctly serves as a museum and municipality is located there as well. When you cross a gravelled quadrangle and go through a baroque arcade, you will find a gorgeous and well-maintained chateau garden full of colourful flowers and very old and patulous trees. Local gardeners are proud of this garden because a very special and rare kind of rose grows there.
