King Wenceslas IV of Bohemia knew exactly where to escape when the burdens of ruling started to weigh on him. During 1385 he spent almost the entire year at K\u0159ivokl\u00e1t Castle in the Czech Republic<\/strong>, throwing himself into hunting in the deep forests and lavish feasting far from the reality of Prague. Today you won’t run into a royal retinue with freshly hunted stags below the walls, but the majestic atmosphere of one of the oldest and most important Czech castles<\/strong>, whose origins reach all the way back to the 12th century, has remained here to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This medieval gem hidden in the heart of a protected landscape area attracts not only history lovers, but also filmmakers from around the world who have shot dozens of famous fairy tales and films here. I’ve put together a guide covering everything from choosing a tour route to ticket prices and 12 specific tips<\/strong>, so you can easily set off for K\u0159ivokl\u00e1t as soon as next weekend. Among other things, you’ll learn about the infamous prison where the famous alchemist Edward Kelley<\/strong> spent two and a half years after killing his rival in a forbidden duel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And because the K\u0159ivokl\u00e1t region is worth far more than a single visit, I’ll throw in plenty of inspiration for the surrounding area too, so you can easily turn it into a whole long weekend<\/strong>. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n
