Our guide will be waiting for you in front of your hotel.

Spring in Czechia is a time when nature awakens, filling the air with freshness and vibrant colors. The forests come to life, the rivers glisten under the warm sun, and historic towns reveal their unique charm. On this day, you will embark on an exciting journey where history meets breathtaking landscapes. We will visit the legendary Karlštejn Castle, a majestic symbol of medieval grandeur, and then explore the stunning Grand America Canyon, a hidden natural gem that captivates at first sight.

Your journey begins with a comfortable transfer by private car or minivan. The drive takes about an hour, but time will fly by as you take in the scenic views—rolling hills, endless fields, lush vineyards, and picturesque villages passing by your window. And then, nestled among dense forests, Karlštejn Castle will appear, standing proudly on a hilltop, its towers reaching for the sky, transporting you back to a time of kings and knights.

Before entering the castle, we will take a leisurely stroll through the charming medieval town at its foot. Narrow cobblestone streets, red-tiled rooftops, and artisanal workshops create an enchanting atmosphere. You’ll have the chance to visit craftsmen’s shops, where traditional Czech souvenirs are made using centuries-old techniques, or indulge in a warm, freshly baked trdelník with cinnamon, paired with a cup of rich hot chocolate. The experience is like stepping into a storybook, where every corner has its own hidden treasure waiting to be discovered.

Karlštejn Castle, built in the 14th century by Emperor Charles IV, was designed as a fortress to protect royal relics and treasures. Within these ancient walls, history was written—diplomatic negotiations were held, and secrets were kept for centuries. Legends even suggest that hidden treasures remain buried deep within the castle’s underground chambers. One of Karlštejn’s most intriguing mysteries is the centuries-old ban on women staying within its walls overnight. What was the reason behind this unusual rule? We will uncover the truth as we explore the castle’s gothic halls, ancient corridors, and stunning frescoes that have preserved the spirit of the past.

After immersing yourself in history, it’s time to relax and savor the flavors of traditional Czech cuisine. In cozy local restaurants, you will enjoy a culinary feast—delicious soups, crispy roasted pork knuckle, fluffy dumplings, and the famous honey-layered Medovník cake, prepared according to time-honored recipes.

The next stop on our journey is Grand America Canyon, a hidden wonder of nature. This former limestone quarry, now filled with crystal-clear water, looks like something out of a dream. Towering rock formations surround a turquoise lake, and narrow trails lead to breathtaking viewpoints that offer panoramic views of the canyon. Often referred to as the “Czech Grand Canyon,” this place has a charm all its own. It’s the perfect spot for taking stunning photographs, embracing the tranquility of nature, and feeling the freedom of wide-open spaces.

As we head back to Prague, you will carry with you not only photographs but also lasting memories of history, legends, and the awe-inspiring beauty of Czech landscapes. This journey will leave a lasting impression, allowing you to see Czechia from its most magical and unforgettable side. Are you ready to step into a world of legends and incredible discoveries? Then let’s go—Karlštejn awaits!
