Plešivecké nám.

This guide to Plešivecké náměstí in Český Krumlov opens with a stone trough that seems to have no reason to be there, and traces the tanners and furriers pushed into this suburb from the sixteenth century onward because their trade needed river water and stank too much for the town center. It follows the square's stone fountain, built for the livestock kept behind Renaissance house facades, and the two seventeenth-century wayside shrines still standing nearby. Take a moment at the fountain's worn steps, where neighbors once lingered over an errand.
