Skoda trolleybus in Marienbad

Once the holiday haunt of the famous and powerful of Europe such as King Edward VII of England and Emperor Franz Josef of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (who on one occasion met up here), Marienbad (called Marianské Lazné in Czech) has become a popular Erholungsort for middle aged German tourists and many of the buildings have recently been restored to their former glory.  Here a recent Skoda trolleybus skirts the circuit of the main gardens and colonnade.
