Latest Hluboka nad Vltavou hotel reviews
globetrott Says: The interior of the castle is unique in many ways :all walls and the ceilings are covered with precious wood-carvings by Franz Schroth from Vienna and plenty of local artists, who started to work around 1850.Chandeliers from Murano / Venice and from Bohemia, souvenirs and...
globetrott Says: The 2nd court shows several great sculptures in the shape of trophees of deer, built into the fassade.Have a look for the plenty of balconies and the huge tower overlooking the court - you will need an extreme wide-angle-lens to have it completely in your pic !In the very...
Dabs Says: Although there are tours given in English, we arrived very late in the day and the only option left was to go on a Czech tour but they did have English text available so we could follow along. The Czech tour was 130kc, the English tours were 220kc, all of the castles we...
Dabs Says: A castle has been on this site since around 1250, the 1st incarnation was a Gothic Castle. During the Middle Ages, it served as both an aristocratic property and a site of royal administration. In 1562 King Ferdinand I sold Hluboka to the Lords of Hradec who turned the...

Hluboka Castle is a little Windsor Castle
modestie Says: Lovely palace & gardens.
globetrott Says: The wintergarden is also a technical masterpiece of that time - it could be used during the wintertime to be out in the nature anyway and grow plants like oranges, bananas and lemons .Today it is used for a souvenir-shop and to show some great sculptures.
globetrott Says: Next to the Wintergarden there is a small park with some sculptures and a fountain. The castle looks also nice from the back !That cafe offers a nice shady terrace, great coffes and espresso, cold drinks and a great honey-cake ( NO other cakes available )NO meals available.
globetrott Says: The riding-school is built next to the wintergarden and is used as an exhibition-room today.There will be special exhibitions, but also the building itself is rather interesting.There is an extra entrance-fee , and the riding-school will also have a lunch-break of 30...
Dabs Says: The route to the Hluboka is very well marked from Ceske Budejovice which is about 8km to the south of Hluboka nad Vltavou, look for the signs that say zamek (chateau). But once we got to the city, we had a little trouble figuring out how to get to the chateau, some of the...
Nadia7 Says: Hluboka nad Vltavou is a town in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, near Èeské Budìjovice. You can get there for example from Prague, by a direct bus, takes less than 4 hours. Direct buses aren´t that frequent, you can travel to Ceske Budejovice from Prague, it...
globetrott Says: It was rather confusing to me, as I could see, that the fee for parking was 70 Krones a day ( 2,5 Euro) - but I did not see, where I could play.It is done the gentle & easy Czech way....2 men on a bycicle will pass by cour car and sell you the tickets. They should start at...
Dabs Says: The lower right quarter of the Schwarzenberg crest is the severed head of a Turk with his eye being plucked out by a raven in honor of Adolf von Schwarzenberg's victory over the Turks at the battle of Raab. This sculpture was outside of the castle.
globetrott Says: Ohrada-castle is just about 5 Km from Hluboka.It belonged also to the Schwarzenberg family and shows great ornaments and even furniture made completely of hunting trophees.There is also a small ZOO - and some of the signs on the road will tell you , where to find the Zoo (...
globetrott Says: The church looks rather simple from outside and has nothing special inside, BUT I think, the entrance-gate is really a great masterpiece with a great woodcarving on top, and perlmutt-decorations and a great door-handle.I took this pic at night, that is why the colors are a...
Nadia7 Says: You can go hiking, cycling, golfing (see the link), fishing, etc. http://www.golfhluboka.cz/en/
Hlubonka castle - 8 km off C.Budovice
globetrott Says: This great castle was built on a small hill overlooking the plain and the lakes in the area.An excursion to Hlubonka might take the whole day, when you want to explore all the different tours, the old castle kitchen, the appartments of the Schwarzenberg family, the armoury...
