Telc, Czech Republic. November 7, 2001.
Telc is located in SW Moravia, 30km from the Austrian border, midway between Brno and Ceske Budejovice. It is a picturesque, historic town whose central main square has changed little in design over the last 4 centuries. The town's pastel-colored, 16th C. renaissance style architecture was created by Italian craftsmen. Originally commissioned to rebuild the castle, they stayed on to make their homes in the town. Telc's historic center was added to UNESCO'S register of World Heritage sites in 1992.

The town center almost seems to be a small island as it is surrounded on 3 sides by water.

Every day in Telc Sue announced "I love this place!"
