Czechia’s Gothic jewel, Karlstejn Castle, crowns forested hills with royal secrets and panoramic views of the Berounka River.
Karlstejn Castle rises dramatically above the Berounka River, its turrets once shielding the Imperial Regalia of Charles IV. Just 40 km from Prague, it’s a quick escape into medieval majesty. Explore the sacred Chapel of the Holy Cross (reservation required), stroll through royal chambers, and admire views from the castle ramparts. The walk up is car-free and scenic, lined with shops selling mead and wooden toys. Hike forest trails weaving through limestone cliffs, or rent a bike and follow the Berounka valley. The nearby village offers Czech pubs and artisan stalls perfect for a post-castle rest before heading back to Prague.
