Baroque and the Manětín-region landscape in film

Manětín - the region of table mountains and baroque sculptures has attracted filmmakers for many years. One of the most recent examples is the filming of a new Czech Television mini-series on the life of Božena Němcová, starring Anna Kameníková and Anna Geislerová. It was shot at Rabštejn and Manětín in mid-October this year. A trip to the region around Manětín is for many people still a journey into the unknown. One feels thousands of years away from urban life and the rapid pace of today.
