Czech Republic Křivoklát Castle

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
Křivoklát Castle, nestled in the dense forests of the Křivoklátsko Protected Landscape Area, looks utterly enchanting when enveloped in early morning mist. This 12th-century Gothic castle, once a royal residence, is steeped in history and legend. Surrounded by rolling hills and tranquil woodlands, the castle offers a glimpse into Czech history while providing breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Visiting Křivoklát feels like stepping back in time, especially during autumn and winter when fog adds an ethereal atmosphere.

Photography Tips

Arrive early in the morning to capture the castle emerging from the mist, which often clings to the valley during cooler months. Use a telephoto lens to focus on the intricate architectural details or a wide-angle lens to include the dramatic backdrop of hills and forests. Overcast weather works perfectly here, as it enhances the moody, medieval vibe of the location. Adjust your exposure to avoid blown-out highlights in the mist and consider bracketing your shots for optimal dynamic range. A sturdy tripod is a must for longer exposures to capture the soft light.
