Dear Steemit friends and followers,
Welcome to my Travel Tip series where I promote some of the most beautiful places, interesting landmarks and impressive architectural sites of my homeland, the Czech Republic.
If you are a regular visitor of my blog, you probably know that the Charles Bridge in Prague is the most famous, visited and photographed Czech bridge. However, it is not the oldest one. To see the oldest bridge of the country (and one of the oldest in Europe), you must head out to the picturesque historic town of Pisek that is located some 110 km (70 mi) south of Prague.

Built as early as in the 13th century, probably during the reign of the king Premysl Otakar II, the Pisek Stone Bridge is 110 m (361 ft) long and it spans the Otava River in the center of the town.
The bridge is colloquially known as the Deer Bridge because, according to an old legend, the bridge was supposed to be named after the first person to cross it and to everyone´s surprise, the first living being to do so was a deer that emerged from nearby woods.

We might never know whether the legend is true or not but there are no doubts the Pisek Stone Bridge is an impressive piece of medieval architecture and you shouldn’t miss it if you happen to be around this place.

This bridge is majestic and i think i have seen bridges like that in movies only, the rust and the color reflects its long history.Charles Bridge Is still standing talk and strong even after this many years which just comes to show how good the architecture must be. The town looks pretty. Would love to visit such a marvelous history.

Hola amigo. En primer lugar quiero decirte que me parece genial la idea de Travel Tip y en segundo lugar interesante el origen del nombre del Puente de los Ciervos. No pongo en duda que un BAMBI haya sido el primero en cruzarlo. Saludos y estaré pendiente. Gracias

That's a really cool legend! It's unbelievable how the bridge is still fully functional 800+ years after it was created. It must take some pretty advanced mathematics to calculate how it must be built, so this is really impressive for such an old one.
