Krivoklat castle

Krivoklat is one of the oldest and most important Czech castles, where the Bohemian kings and Habsburg emperors once lived. The building of the castle was started in the 12th century, but later the castle was expanded and beautified. For some time, Charles IV lived in Krivoklat Castle. It is told about an interesting whim of his: it is said, that he ordered the inhabitants to catch nightingales and release them in the gardens of the castle, so that they would please his wife and beloved daughter. To this day, the so-called "nightingale road" has survived on the territory of the castle. The exterior of the castle is dominated by a 42 m high round tower, nicknamed Big.
