Liten: Golf Resort Karlštejn - Karlštejn Castle
Few places in Central Bohemia have a history as closely tied to the protection of royal treasures as Karlštejn Castle. Founded in 1348 by Charles IV, the Gothic stronghold was built on a steep hill above the Berounka valley, southwest of Prague. Its Great Tower and Chapel of the Holy Cross formed part of a carefully protected royal repository, while the chapel preserves an exceptional medieval decorative scheme. Golf Resort Karlštejn occupies the rolling ground below the wooded hills with an 18-hole course. Fairways, mature trees and sand bunkers set a modern sporting landscape beside one of the Czech Republic’s defining medieval monuments. The nearby Berounka valley leads into the limestone terrain of the Bohemian Karst.

Karlštejn Castle, founded by Charles IV in 1348, recalls the medieval importance of this area; Kutná Hora preserves the legacy of silver mining that once ranked among the kingdom’s key sources of wealth.

The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre.
