The Greatest Castle of the Czech Republic - Karlstejn

[@RealPragueGuides]

Thanks, guys for watching! Btw. both the Imperial Crown and the Crown of the Kingdom of Bohemia were stored in Karlstejn. It's just that as we were fast-editing we put Bohemian Crown over Valery saying "Crown Jewels of the Holy Roman Empire". Our mistake! Forgive us Charles IV.! (and youtube doesn't allow us to put a title over it)

[@chrishutchison5031]

The Czech tourism bureau should pay you guys for your videos. I loved the nature footage today! in addition to the beautiful castle, Karlstejn is beautiful. A food video might also be good. ( it might also be expensive) I am always interested in what you are eating. Don't listen to my advise, I have never run a KZbin channel. Just keep up the good work.

[@toddbonin6926]

This has to be one of the most beautiful places in the world!!! Thank you

[@oskarhoffmann4918]

Dobry den, thanks for your great Videos from your neighbours from Lower Bavaria !!!!

[@brvandal]

After watching all the Honest Guide videos, i LOVE getting more in depth with this channel!

[@yannide-power6443]

I love that you can take the train and go just anywhere in Czech Republic. I miss that and i want it in my country to. 🇬🇷🛠️🇨🇿🤓

[@adammasek772]

Your videos just get better and better, Valerie! So much fun, thank you for sharing with us. Way back when I first clicked on the "Why do so few people live in central Prague?" I had no idea I would look forward to every video you do.

[@Claudio08111960]

A hug from me tou you, Valery!!

[@Claudio08111960]

Thanks for your answer, darling.

I walked all the way up, in winter, just to find out it was closed....nice history. Good sense of humor and what are fun facts.

Greetings from Prague!

[@JesusTorres-dc4vu]

Well Valerie, I would be one of those that doesn’t make it to the castle because I would stop along the way and drink beer all day. As always, great video. I can’t wait for the next one.

[@naeemakbar2265]

Beautiful video my dear valery this is my problem that I can't explain you perfectly in English but think about my conectivity with your channel as well as with you too

[@cbartlett]

One of the funniest and best so far!

[@paultodd7806]

Definitely going to have to return to Czech for a visit, love the videos and Valerie you make them fun to watch as well as informative

[@dgibelli]

I love your humour, greetings from the UK.

[@jamesmihalcik1310]

Thank you Valerie ! Interesting to see the GoodYear Blimp flying over the area. It flew over my farm in Pennsylvania once, I was a little startled while working outside by the size of it. :)

[@dwocelot6913]

I'm visiting Prague in March for the first time. Looks like a great day-trip

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

WTF!?!? The freakin' Goodyear blimp? Here I am in the US, enjoying the video and wishing that Valery would stop whining, and you go and mess with my mind by including the Goodyear blimp . . . awesome! 😎

[@sandor7594]

I was coming here in October. I'm watching the wonderful videos now. The Czech Republic is beautiful and a real museum. Valéria presents it very well. Greetings from Budapest

[@gary8306]

Interesting and funny, thankyou..........the how to get there is always useful.

[@javasrevenge7121]

We have been here very oftenly, a real great area :)

[@georgejoseph4164]

Loved my visit there a few years ago. Used to see it recently on the train to Horovice.

[@donny2327]

I like the look of those traps.

[@ymg200]

Great video. Lot's of useful info and entertaining too.

[@bloodyapril6392]

Oh cute Valery. Any haunted castles? Any legends of the Supernatural? Your so adorable.

[@meestermeesterhastings.3159]

Good evenings Valerino you are looking's a very nice today's....

[@timobrien9123]

Thanks for the video, I just moved to Karlstejn last year so it was great to learn some more of its history

[@joebrouillard565]

Another excellent vlog. I saw the lance in Vienna in 2016.

[@eas211000]

It is the Goodyear Blimp. Goodyear is a tire manufacturer in the U.S and the blimp is basically a promotional tool of theirs that they use to fly over sporting events. Great video as always!

[@RealPragueGuides]

Thanks for the explanation!

[@Lepercurtidoo]

I have visited the castle back in the 90's . Back then there was no ridiculous tourist trap policy of paying extra to visit the tower. It was one price for the whole castle ( as it should be) Sadly things are going for the worse and imho they cut in their own fingers since the reputation gets worse too. Same thing for the Golden street in Prague's Castle where it used to be simply a nice little street and not yet again a tourist trap where you have to pay to walk in it. Oh well, luckily it's still free to breath the fresh Bohemian forests air.... for now ... This is for the record my personal thoughts and has nothing to do with your nice channel and videos ;)

[@Pidalin]

Keeping 800 years old castle cost big money, in 90s you had maybe whole castle for 100 CZK or something, but salary was 1/4 of today salary.

[@Lepercurtidoo]

It does cost money to keep old buildings into shape but there are a lot of old places, castles etc in Europe where you don't have to pay twice. Just a matter of policy.

[@Pidalin]

@@Lepercurtidoo Yes, I agree, but this is one of the most touristic place in Czechia, you can expect that in such places. But I was very (positively) surprised in Poland, some places are completely free to visit. In Czechia if it's private property, you should expect 3m tall fences around it and maybe even machineguns, we are pretty much like Americans in this case. It's sad that some historical things are hidden in someone's garden and you can't visist it.

[@rubenz599]

This place looks like the filming locations for the Subspecies movies 🧛🏻😄🔥

[@Туризмподлупой]

velice pěkné😍👍👍

[@almonius1]

It's a long walk to get there and a big hill to climb, but worth every step. It's a beautiful castle

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

Ah Prague. beautiful one minute, perfect the next. love your work. The castle also has an escape tunnel for the king if ever he was under attack. When we can travel again from Australia, I will be happy to take another tour.

[@reubenperalta6576]

You guys could do a video entitled ‘Purple penguins getting colonic irrigation’ and I’d still watch it if Valerie was presenting. She so lovely 😉

[@conceptalfa]

Great video, thanks!!! That "ship" in the skies was a "Zeppelin ship"!!!!

[@RealPragueGuides]

😂

[@jeanneknight4791]

I agree with you about the Thirty Years War loot. The Swedish should give it back to the Czechs. Museums all over the worls are giving things back to the places mof origin. Never let that go!

[@JoRei953]

As a history major who has made the Holy Roman Empire a focus of study, this is a great video! Well done!

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

You might enjoy the fun Wikipedia map animation of the HRE growing, shrinking and finally disappearing over the centuries. Napoleon strikes yet again!

[@caliscribe2120]

My favorite line ever about history is that the Holy Roman Empire was neither Roman nor an empire and certainly not holy.

[@dieseltrains2]

♥😍😍😍Really beautiful channel

[@amandabyrd9349]

When visiting, we went to the castle twice. The first was the least expensive tour. Nice, but seriously, go for the full tour, including the chapel at the tower’s top. It’s amazing. And you don’t have to walk the hill, you can pay for a ride in a horse-drawn cart to the front gate. At least the carts were working seven years ago.

[@BusterGotIt]

Liked #488, I've heard of this castle but looking at it visually, it's very stunning, thank you. Looking forward to more videos of your beautiful country. Subscribed to support a fellow content creator.

[@chuckmeadows1581]

Another great video, Valerie! I think you can be a big movie star! Your camera presence is amazing! Anyway, I have a question. What was the music you used in the video. It was terrific. Can you tell the name of the music, and/or the artist? I really enjoyed it! Thanks!

[@WZbytovsky]

I had the best guláš in that village.

[@pavel6688]

I dont know what hill are you talking about, among Czech castles Karlštejn is on of the easiest to get to, almost a flat plain;)

[@Pidalin]

yeah, and it's walk on road thru city, even little kids can reach Karlštejn :-D there are castles where you literally die when you climb the hill :-D

[@mohanman3479]

Very nice

[@franciskswong3159]

How to enjoy the Prague and Czech republic? Should We stay one week or one month? We are fascinated by your introduction of this beautiful city. Is there any brochure available from your national tourism office? So we may study and plan ahead of visiting.

[@___saj____]

Valerie... could you explain about that location far from that castle?

[@joshuatrower1698]

"Give me some climbing spikes and 12 good men...."

[@stepandolezal7550]

Just a small remark, Karlštejn was built to protect Imperial crown jewells as you said, but on picture you showed the crown jewells of Bohemian kingdom, which were also safeguarded in the castle, but later on.

[@RealPragueGuides]

Yes, you are totally right! Not sure how that escaped our attention 👍

[@aaronsaunders6974]

such a handsome burg. rivals orava. just heard about it.

[@johnvelas70]

Valerie needs to get the camera guy to carry her up the hills/stairs. Tell him he'll grow a muscle or 2.

[@rogerflorida1498]

Did they ban Segways? I know there used to be many of them. That would make the trip up the hill easier.

[@RealPragueGuides]

Yeah... You can take a horse carriage taxi up the hill 😂

[@oliver4260]

There should be a double like button By the way where did u eat that Czech dish “chicken curry” I need to try it maybe this weekend 🙃

[@DerParsifal]

Karlstejn aka Karlstein is properly pronounced stein as in "fine"

[@Pidalin]

most of castles have Czechised name over centuries, so there is mostly "štejn" in name

[@DerParsifal]

@@Pidalin Do Czech people pronounce it as "steen"?

[@kadoj]

…. What the…. The Goodyear blimp? But why?!? That’s an American thing, we originally used it as a great big combined advertising platform/place to film an aerial view of American football games. What it’s doing toodling around in Czech skies is beyond my comprehension, unfortunately.

You can edit the video, but you can't edit the climb. lol Any buses for the fat and lazy? The hills brought up an interesting question. Can you rent E-bikes in the cities. Fully charged ones, of course. lol At the hill overlooking Karstejn, you should have pretended you were at the Austro-Swiss border a nd started singing, "The Hills are alive with Music..."
