Church of Transfiguration on the Mount Tabor, Tábor, Czech republic

The mighty Roman Catholic church was built in 1440-1552 in late Gothic style and it is dedicated to the miracle of Transfiguration as described in the New Testament and painted in the main altar of this church.

The church and its tower were rebuilt several times due to fire damages and wars. The gables were changed in Rennaisance style in 1559. The tower has gothical base and baroque dome from 1677. It is 78 metres high and has 250 steps. There was a whole Neogothic redesign made in 1896-98 by Josef Mocker (the architect of Prague Castle Cathedral finalization and of several Prague Towers).

The frequent fires resulted in appointment of the tower guardian who had to blow his horn each 15 minutes in the night in order not to get asleep.

The Transfiguration refers to a miracle which happened to Jesus travelling to Mount Tabor with apostles Peter, James and John. Jesus was transfigured and became radiant speaking with Moses and Elijah. They tell him He is a beloved son of God and the apostles should listen to him as he is his Messenger, the bridge between humans and God, heaven and earth.

"Schönes Zimmer, Hotel zentral gelegen"

Spacious two-storey villa with heated indoor pool, sauna and large garden

10/10 Hervorragend

"Gab ein vermeintliches Problem mit dem Pool, Eigentümer angerufen, 5 min später war jemand da. Service den es bei weitem nicht überall gibt! Die Lage der Wohnung ist echt super, alles innerhalb weniger Minuten im Umkreis vorhanden. "

Renovated stone cottage on a forest meadow

10/10 Hervorragend

"A marvelous house in a marvelous region, provided by a very kind host! We spend two weeks here, together with some friends and our three teenage kids. The house itself is very remote, so you're on your own, but grocery stores and other shops are just a few minutes away by car. So is a public swimming pool, but we used the one on the property. It is clean and well maintained.We came with two dogs, which ran freely on the property. Since it is fully fenced, they could not escape. They loved going for a stroll in the surrounding forest.The famous and beautiful village of Cesky Krumlov is about one hour away by car. We did some canoeing on the Moldau there. The nearby town of Tabor is also worth a visit. The region also offers various hiking trails. Prague is around 1,5 to two hours away by car, which is OK for a day trip.We definitely plan to come here again, since there's still so much we want to visit! "
