Roundtop texas a day trip from austin. Round Top Texas is a fascinating German and Czech community. To capture the unusual nature of the town, it’s best to drive along the narrow rock lanes and look at the homes. The Slavic penchant for neatness is highly visible and lends an air of the small town security.

 The original Round Top settlement was 2 miles north of where the present Community is today. The first settlers were plantation owners who sold their land to German immigrants after the Civil War. The area became a center of German culture. crafts were popular because of the need to create every item of household and personal needs. This continued interest in craftpersonship is one reason there is a festival every year full of homemade crafts.
