Discover the rock formations and labyrinths of Bohemian Paradise, located just one hour's drive from Prague. Declared the first geopark in the country by UNESCO, the area is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Czech Republic.
The park area offers great places to explore, where thanks to the forces of nature (wind, water, frost, erosion) you can admire lofty sandstone forms here, worn into weird and wonderful shapes, some of which are 60-meters tall.
Gothic Kost Castle boasts a scenic location in the Bohemian Paradise region of the country. Back in the 14th century, when it was first mentioned in writing, Kost was a wooden fortress. Benes from Vartemberk had it built and used the Latin name Benessuis de Costa on official documents. Czechs mispronounced Costa as Kost, which means “bone” in Czech.
Kost Castle was never conquered. It is located in a strategic position because it is hidden among three valleys and not visible from a distance. The castle has had many owners, including members of the Selemberk, Biberstejn, Lobkowitz and Cernin families. The last owner, Anna Maria del Borgo Netolitz, lost possession of the castle when it was nationalized in 1948. Kost first opened its doors to visitors in 1950. It is no longer state-owned. During 1993 the castle came into the hands of Anna Maria del Borgo Netolitz’s husband, Norbert Kinsky.
This tour offers a mixture of nature, wilderness, and local architecture heritage. You will visit two different areas, see lots of rocks, viewpoints, castle Kost, and have a lunch in a local restaurant.
