On the fantastic Saturday morning I walked around Pardubice chateau when a strange tree captured my attention. It was the first tree without leaves, but its branches were full of yellow balls - the size between tennis ball and golf ball. I do not know what kind of tree that was, but it was really charming.

The first written records of Pardubice are from the late 13th century it was granted "town" status in 1340. In the late 15th century Pardubice was bought by Pernstejn family, who began an extensive program of construction. They rebuilt the castle into the early renaissance chateau, which became their residence.
