Great for a short trip

Here you must have seen the blaze of colors of the flower meadow as soon as the grass is knee-high. Really great.

We camped in the parking lot for one night and it was really interesting to learn about these Roman relics.

Very nice quiet place. Interestingly embedded in the Hegau landscape.

Krivoklát Castle

Křivoklát Castle was founded in the 12th century, belonging to the kings of Bohemia. During the reign of Přemysl Otakar II a large, monumental royal castle was built, later rebuilt by king Václav IV and later enlarged by king Vladislav of Jagellon.

The castle was damaged by fire several times. It was turned into a harsh prison and the building slowly deteriorated. During the 19th century, the family of Fürstenberg became the owners of the castle and had it reconstructed after a fire in 1826.

Today the castle serves as a museum, tourist destination and place for theatrical exhibitions. Collections of hunting weapons, Gothic paintings and books are stored there.
