The castle is closed in winter. Opening times can be found on the website.

Imposing castle, definitely go inside

The castle, dating from the mid-13th century, is one of the oldest castles of the Vítkovci family, the predecessors of one of the most powerful Bohemian aristocratic families – Rožmberk – who, after the king, held the most powerful positions in the country. Despite a large number of learned and adventurous feudal lords, the most popular family figure is apparently Perchta of Rožmberk. According to legend, she has continued to haunt the family residences as a gloomy ghost since her death. Worth a visit The most spectacular view of the enormous medieval castle and the romantic landscape of South Bohemia can be had from the English Tower. But first, you have to climb over 200 steps.

Access is available from May to September on weekends from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; peak season until 4:30 p.m. Closed on weekdays during the off-season. It's best to check online to see if it's open. The courtyard is worth it!

The ruins of Divci Kamen Castle are located on a rocky ridge above the Vltava River. It's a bit off the Vltava Cycle Route but is very impressive. Adult admission is only 90 crowns. 08/2025. The palace and walls are large and fairly well preserved. A great adventure for children. Sturdy footwear is recommended.

I already wrote about it during my day trip. Starting in 2030, keeping bears and other wild animals in Czech castles and palaces will be prohibited. Currently, however, three bears still live in the enclosures: two brothers and their mother.

The place deserves a visit
