Kraví Hour
We went from the cities of the Czech Republic to a small town, because here everything has a special charm and a different touch. Kraví Hora is known as the Republic of Wine, something peculiar given that the country is known for beer and not for wine. The town is surrounded by vineyards from which the raw material is extracted to make the wines. In this town with several streets, the houses have private warehouses, but they have also minted their own currency, they have a president, constitution, customs and much more to be a totally independent place. A really fun, original and special place in the South Moravian region.
