I was in Schönau, Czech Republic today (364 71 Hradiště-Bochov Military Training Area, Czech Republic) and found this small box with a printing plate in the forest near a destroyed former church.

I have to give a music lecture soon on old Bohemian folk music, but I'm finding surprisingly little on the subject. My main question is how much Dvorak influenced folk music, and for that, I need more information on folk music. There are the classic folk dances, which I have, but what other characteristics are…
I'd like to spend a romantic weekend with my wife in the area in December or January, but it's not easy to find what we're looking for. We'd like a heated outdoor pool or hot tub with a view of nature, and we'd like maximum privacy—not a huge hotel complex where 30 other guests will…
