Fortress founded by Czech King Václav III. is the largest fortress in Europe. The tower system has a circumference of 2 km and it reaches a height of over 40 meters. This has made this fortress unreliable for centuries. Here you can see a cross-section of history from the Middle Ages to almost the present. The tour takes care of all day!
