Karlstejn Castle


More of a fairytale-type castle than Prague Castle (which is really more like a big fancy cathedral in a complex - still amazing, but not a castle in my traditional sense!). It was one big long hill on the way up, getting steeper and steeper until you finally reached the top - what a climb! I had to take my jacket off since I was dying from the heat, but during our tour through the old stone rooms inside, I was sure glad to have it again. The wind was blowing it's fiercest on the way back down, too - the four Swiss guys we were with were envious that the Canadian girl was well prepared with her gloves!
