Křivoklátsko Essentials: Castles, Nature & Heritage

The Křivoklátsko Protected Landscape Area, a UNESCO biosphere reserve, centers around the winding Berounka River and its dense deciduous forests. This collection features the royal Gothic Křivoklát Castle, the ruins of Točník and Žebrák, and the presidential summer residence at Lány. Natural highlights include the Skryje lakes and Vraní skála rock formations. Cultural heritage is represented by the Rückl glassworks in Nižbor and the preserved timber-framed Hamousův statek farmstead in Zbečno.
