Guestbook for Pink Street House

1. "Thank you so much for letting us use your charming apartment for a week at the beginning of May 2005. We experienced all types of weather, from a small heatwave to a snow shower. The spring in the Bohemian mountains is more dramatic than in Denmark, with fast-running brooks and rivers, filling up with the melting snow. The town is really charming, with such unusual architecture. DENMARK (two middle-aged ladies)"

2. "Thank you for letting me and my husband use your apartment during the hot summer for two weeks, whilst we were visiting our German friends in Jablonec. We are both in our 80's but we had no problem climbing up the stone steps to 1st floor. The area is very charming and peaceful, we enjoyed the walks to the town and to the woods. GERMANY (elderly couple)"

3. "We have thoroughly enjoyed our summer holidays in your charming house and loved staying in the studio apartment with it's wonderful views. It was so peaceful there. We did a lot of walking to the mountain tower restaurants where we were rewarded wth wonderful mountain air, good food and drink . We were lucky with the weather at the end of August, it was sunny but not too hot. The Museum of Glass and Costume Jewellery in the town is worth a visit. People can learn a lot about the glass manufacturing history of this charming region. ENGLAND - 22 / 23 yr female students."

4. "We have used the studio for our New Year's 2008 winter break and attended a ski school on the Severak Hill in the Jizera Mountain. Your friendly taxi company collected us daily and delivered us safely back home. It was only about 30 minutes drive to the skiing resort, so it was worth it. We also visited the University town of LIBEREC on a very cold January day. The LIBEREC REGIONAL TOWN MUSEUM is wonderful, with so much information and art exhibitions. ENGLAND (engaged couple in their late 20's)"
