About this audio guide
This guide to Lazebnicky most, the Barber's Bridge in Cesky Krumlov, traces its name to a bathhouse run in the late 1500s by barber-surgeon Zikmund Pichler, whose daughter Marketa caught the eye of a young nobleman across the river. In 1607, Don Julius Caesar, illegitimate son of Emperor Rudolf the Second, had Marketa move into the castle with him, and the arrangement turned violent almost at once. Stand at the rail and look toward the yellow house on the Latran side that gave the bridge its name.
