I wasn’t on the top of the spire, of course, but you can see where this panorama came from by looking up from here. The Pilsner Urquell Brewery can be seen in the background on the left.
Also, it’s sort of odd the “City of a Hundred Spires” (Prague) doesn’t have the tallest spire in the country.
Once upon a time, less than a year ago, I had a travel day in the Czech Republic in which I was to move from Pilsen to Český Krumlov via my rental car. Google Maps said I’d be there in 2.5 hours, but I couldn’t check in to my new lodgings for something like four or five hours so I “searched along the route” for the word “castle”. Google came up with something like 20 of them! What?!?! The first one I stopped at was this one (maybe because Kozel is also the name of a Czech beer, and I thought it could also be a brewery?). Gorgeous place with virtually no people.
