About Regensburg
Regensburg is a historically important city where three rivers—the Danube, Naab, and Regen—meet, making it a key crossroads for trade and travel throughout the centuries. Before modern bridges, crossing large rivers was difficult, but in the 12th century, the construction of a stone bridge over the Danube helped Regensburg grow into a wealthy trade center.
Remarkably, the city’s Old Town suffered little damage during World War II, preserving its rich medieval architecture and historic charm. Today, Regensburg’s well-preserved cityscape is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering visitors a glimpse into its fascinating past while maintaining its lively atmosphere.

About Karlštejn Castle
Karlštejn Castle, built in the 14th century by Czech king and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, was designed as a fortified treasury to safeguard the royal treasures, sacred relics, and the Bohemian Crown Jewels. Strategically perched atop a steep hill, the castle was intended not only as a secure stronghold but also as a place of spiritual retreat for the emperor.
One of the most important and famous castles in Czechia, Karlštejn is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, featuring massive fortifications, soaring towers, and beautifully decorated interiors. Among its highlights is the Chapel of the Holy Cross, once used to store the crown jewels and adorned with precious stones and stunning frescoes by Master Theodoric.
Walking through the castle’s courtyard feels like stepping back in time, as the medieval atmosphere, well-preserved structures, and breathtaking views over the countryside make Karlštejn a true historical gem and a must-visit site in Czechia.
