Trosky Castle

Trosky is a castle that starts drawing you in before you even reach it. The two towers on basalt rocks, Baba and Panna, rise above the landscape as a natural landmark of the whole Bohemian Paradise. Whether you arrive from Turnov, Jičín or Hrubá Skála, their silhouette is a clear sign that you are entering a land of rocks, castles and views.

A visit to Trosky is more than a walk through castle ruins. The path between the remains of medieval fortifications gradually opens up views of Bohemian Paradise, Hruboskalsko, Kozákov, the Jičín area and more distant peaks. The basalt rocks give the castle its raw character and remind you that this landmark was no accident – nature and defensive architecture created one of the strongest images of Northern Bohemia here.

In recent years, Trosky has also attracted fans of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, in which both the castle and the landscape of Bohemian Paradise became part of the game world. For players, a trip to Trosky is a chance to walk through a place they know from the screen and compare the digital Middle Ages with the real landmark above the landscape.
