Explore at your own pace

At Karlstejn, explore the magnificent Gothic castle, a 14th-century imperial fortress perched above the Berounka River valley. Wander through terraced courtyards or follow scenic trails through the surrounding Bohemian Karst with its limestone cliffs and hidden caves. Quaint villages showcase traditional Czech architecture and countryside charm. Discover imperial legends as you traverse forest paths and vineyard slopes that seem plucked from a medieval tale, with landscapes transforming beautifully through each season. Please note that Karlstejn is only accessible with a guided tour, and the duration of each tour may alter the time spent at each stop. The castle is open from May to September, for more information, please visit their site.

Karlstejn Castle
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.
