Křivoklát

Castles · 5/2/2008 · Original language: Russian

What you need to do in Křivoklát:

  • first of all, you need to come here!
  • go to the observation deck
  • buy some wonderful mead (it’s an alcoholic drink with 18% alcohol by volume. By the way, I haven’t seen it anywhere else except here!) and candles made of natural wax! And for honey lovers, there’s also honey with nuts, poppy seeds, and other treats
  • Climb the little staircase from the inner courtyard up to the tower — it’s completely free — and it’s just as good there as on the Great Tower.
If you go a little higher up the path from the castle, you come to a lookout point — a viewing spot. This is where the photo was taken. Ahead is the white Great Tower.

The castle is visible almost immediately — as soon as you step onto the path from the station.

This building was once used as a brewery, but what it is used for now is unknown. It’s a pity the brewery is gone.

I was pleased both by the exhibition and by the fact that you can enter the castle rooms.
