This entry will be about the village of Oldrichov and the lagoon which is situated beneath the village.

Let's have a look at the village first and start off with some history. The village was founded in the XIIIth century around a monastery. This monastery still exists today, but only parts of the original structure are visible (the cloisters and parts of the church), since it was largely rebuilt in the XVIth and XVIIIth centuries. The monastery forms the main architectural sight of the village, together with a few old houses. The main sight in Oldrichov, however, is the lagoon with its fine sandy beaches (a rarity within the Empire). In recent years several apartment complexes have been built along the coast, which are very popular with the wealthy Illyrians.

Let's now descend towards the lagoon. Enjoy the lagoon and beach without further comments!

The cliffs and the beach are great! I love how you mixed all the different styles of buildings together, another unique and fantastic update! If you don't mind me asking... where did you find those rocks with the moss on them? Ive been looking for more styles of rock to spruce up my own coastline.

fantastic, the horrible hotel skyline in the middle of a wonderful nature paradise, so it must be.

  • pipelad: great, thanks!
  • k50dude: off course, but it isn't very cheap. I think they charge extra for the views .
  • Skimbo: thnx! Well, it is difficult to tell. I built it over a period of a few weeks, but in terms of total "building hours" it is probably around 12-14 hours. 
  • TekindusT: well, some nice people to spent the vacation with . Thanks very much.
  • Jamonbread: off course, here is a link. I'll be checking out your cj soon if you have actually plopped them .  
  • Plane-Crash12000: wow, your favorite cj! Thanks a lot!

Third pic is my fav ^^. Water is realistic and landscape gives the idea of something illyrian or vietnamese, great anyway.
