Tour of Boskovice Castle

The start of the walk to the castle can be, for example, from Masaryk Square in Boskovice. The dominant feature of the lower part of the square is the nice church of St. James the Elder

The biggest attraction and dominant feature of the square, however, is the almost 42 meters high town hall tower. The view from the gallery of the tower is worth it!

So far, the road is only slowly rising around the former monastery

Before the trail disappears in the forest, there is a nice view of the Boskovice chateau, which is surrounded by an extensive garden

After less than 400 meters of ascent (approx. 50 altitude meters) you are at the castle

From the entrance you can see how powerful the castle must have been in times of greatest glory

We climb clockwise between the wall and the inner castle to a large area from where you can enter the inner castle by stairs or go back to the entrance. There is also the famous deep well

Walking and discovering the inner castle will be appreciated especially by children – there are many nooks, stairs and dark cellars

To the east is a view of the city and on the horizon are the flat ridges of the Drahanská Highlands

However, the best view is to the west to the deeply cut Pilské valley
