It is the historical village of HolaĊĦovice. I believe it is also a UNESCO world heritage site.
Are the houses really so "short" or is that an illusion of the photo perspective?
And why is it a UNESCO world heritage site?
Precisely right, Jameson. Well done!
Architecture, most of the houses are just a single floor on ground level and a steep roof. The photo is on an odd angle, but I think it's pretty accurate depiction. The best description of why UNESCO saw fit to include it on the world hertitage list is on their own website; http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/861
Thanks for your comments.
