Itinerary

Begin your journey with a scenic drive from Prague to the dramatic Velka Amerika limestone quarry - one of the Czech Republic’s most striking natural landscapes.

From a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the partly flooded canyon, admire the towering cliffs and turquoise water below. Often nicknamed the “Czech Grand Canyon,” this hidden site offers a spectacular introduction to the day and a glimpse into the geological history of the region.
Karlstejn Castle

Continue to the historic village of Karlstejn and enjoy exclusive transport directly to the upper castle grounds - a route typically restricted to pedestrians.

Explore the magnificent Karlstejn Castle, founded in 1348 by Emperor Charles IV to safeguard the Crown Jewels and sacred relics of the Holy Roman Empire. A guided tour in English leads you through preserved medieval interiors while revealing the political, spiritual, and architectural importance of this Gothic masterpiece.

After your castle visit, enjoy a relaxed walk through the charming village of Karlstejn. Traditional houses, forested hills, and small artisan shops create a picturesque atmosphere beneath the castle walls.
