Before leaving, we stopped in a wooden structure built in the
15th century as an inn for visitors to monastery. The Gastuž
Inn, still going strong, is one of the oldest still operating inns
in Central Europe. As we enjoyed sparkling wines from
nearby Konjice, I thought about the many thirsty patrons
that had preceded us in this old inn. I also acknowledged
the irony that Konjice had “borrowed’ stone from the monks’
compound to rebuild after the town’s last great fire.
Walking the holy burial grounds of the Charterhouse
where they buried the monks sans casket.
