Day 3: Krivoklat Castle


The second castle of the day was a little less interesting, a little less grand, a little less ornate but it was still fanTAStic!  Again, it was perched on a hill with the town nestled below.  It brought to mind a romanticized vision of a Czech coutryside dotted with fiefdoms with knights on horses, princesses in towers and serfs herding pigs through the streets (OK, that part maybe not so romantic).  I said it wasn't that ornate but it had this great knocker on the main gate.  Probably not the original.
