I’m adding Hukvaldy Castle to my Czech Republic itinerary next month and this post couldn’t have come at a better time! That 15-20 minute uphill hike sounds like exactly the kind of challenge my travel buddy will complain about the entire way up (lol). Has anyone visited during October? I’m wondering if those fall colors will still be visible or if I’m pushing it too late in the season. Also, how intense is that climb really? My mom wants to join but she’s in her 60s – would it be too much for someone who’s reasonably fit but not a regular hiker? And those medieval festivals sound amazing – anyone caught one of those events and can share what they’re like? The Knights’ Hall is definitely going on my must-photograph list… I’m a sucker for imagining all the history that happened in places like that!
