The dramaturgy of the festival in 2008 is oriented towards the musical life in the Visegrad Region from the Middle Ages through to the Vienna Congress held 1814-1815. The theme “Early Music from Visegrad” will be treated at several levels: we will present Czech-Slovak-Polish-Hungarian composers, map out the musical life in the aforementioned capital cities of Buda, Prague, Bratislava and Krakow or Warsaw, focus on the musical centres outside the capital cities, including monasteries, and revitalise treasures from private and public collections.

A pair of four-month-old polar bear cubs in Brno zoo are doing well, with their mother devotedly caring for them. Their mother provides all the necessary care, without batting an eyelid at the presence of people. The twins release outdoors was the last step requiring caution. The outdoor enclosure could be dangerous to the cubs, in view of the steep rocks above the pool, but at the most dangerous places the keepers laid straw for the cubs to "land" softly.
The cubs have already tried beef, horse-meat and fish, and although one still has problems walking, it is growing stronger every day and will soon catch up with its sibling.
My picture is from 9 April, 2008.

Boat ride at the Brno lake
Boats operate at the Brno Lake from April till October. For some extra money they also take bikes, so this is a good tip for a day or a half day trip.

I can reccomend a stop at the VEVERI Castle, only one floor is iopen to the public, not far from the castle there is a nice chapel of Virgin Mary and nice countryside.
