点评:A vast complex with multiple courtyards, gardens, and the famous Cloak Bridge.
It was chilling 3 deg early Dec morning as we ascend the height from our coach parking area with our Local Guide, to visit the famous Castle.
The Guide explained both the history and the various architecture-monuments of the castle, as we were all awed by the magnificent castle set on a rocky cliff overlooking the river.
The gallery is decorated with arcades on 19 columns & there are a total of 4 bells hung in the tower. And of course The castle's highlight is the Baroque Theater which we visited.
The castle has Gothic, Renaissance and even baroque elements incorporated over the years. There’s even a large garden and an original 17th-century baroque theater. There are panoramic views of the old town just opposite and the Vltara river, from the top of its round belltower. We did not try due to the limited time, and admission also costs 280CZK for the tower.
Much to explore before we proceed to the Old Town & beyond. But remembered that part that our Guide told us, there’s a moat and bears are actually kept in there. We tried looking into the moat just like many tourists but did not manage to see any..
翻译:这是一个规模庞大的建筑群,拥有多个庭院、花园和著名的斗篷桥。
12月初的清晨,气温只有3度,我们跟随当地导游从大巴停车场登上山顶,前往参观这座著名的城堡。
导游为我们讲解了城堡的历史和各种建筑古迹,我们都被这座雄伟的城堡所震撼,它坐落在俯瞰河流的岩石峭壁上。
回廊由19根柱子支撑,装饰着拱廊,塔楼里悬挂着4口钟。当然,城堡的亮点是巴洛克剧院,我们也参观了那里。
城堡融合了哥特式、文艺复兴式,甚至巴洛克式等多种建筑风格。这里还有一个大型花园和一座始建于17世纪的巴洛克式剧院。从圆形钟楼的顶端可以俯瞰对面的老城区和伏尔塔拉河的全景。由于时间有限,我们没有登顶,而且登顶钟楼需要280捷克克朗的门票。
在前往老城区及周边地区之前,还有很多地方值得探索。不过,我们还记得导游说过,这里有一条护城河,里面养着熊。我们像很多游客一样,试着往护城河里看,但一只熊也没看到。
