Tenth Liblice Conference
on the Statistical Mechanics of Liquids
The Venue
The conference will be held in Cesky Krumlov, the second to Prague
most visited town in the Czech Republic.
This charming town experienced its greatest prosperity during the rule
of Lords of Rožmberk (1302 - 1602), who chose Český Krumlov to become
the seat of their kingdom. At this time, Krumlov lay on the crossroads
between the Czech, Austrian, Bavarian and Northern Italian lands. You
can see the influence of these different cultures that have left their
mark on the town and Castle with brushstrokes of the Italian
Renaissance. At the end of 17th century, during the reign of House of
Eggenberg, the Castle Baroque Theatre was built and the Castle Gardens
were renovated. Under the rule of House of Schwarzenberg, Český Krumlov
gained its Baroque appearance. Český Krumlov's Old Town hasn't
experienced major changes since the 19th century, other than the
demolition of the town's fortification walls and guard towers, and has
maintained its historic character.
Český Krumlov, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a lively, cosmopolitan
town with a unique atmosphere surrounded by unspoiled countryside.
Dominated by a Castle stretching over the meandering Vltava River, Český
Krumlov's narrow cobblestone streets wind along romantic nooks between
patrician houses where you'll find attractive exhibits of world-renown
artists, music festivals and concerts, and theatre performances. The
cosy inns, coffee shops, and ancient taverns entertain a diverse
international crowd.
