Hrad Střekov

Hrad Střekov, vystupující majestátně na strmé skále nad řekou Labe, je místem, které oslní každého návštěvníka svou romantickou atmosférou a bohatou historií. Návštěva tohoto hradu je jako cesta časem, kde se můžete dotknout středověkých zdí, které byly svědky mnoha historických událostí, a vychutnat si přitom nádherný výhled do okolní krajiny.

Krásný hrad s nádhernými výhledy. Prohlídkový okruh bez průvodce je poměrně krátký a jednoduchý k následování, ale ukáže všechna zajímavá zákoutí hradu (okruh s průvodcem jsem nezkoušel).
Velké plus pro mě je, že psi jsou vítáni, takže jsem měl výjimečně možnost prohlédnout si hrad i zevnitř, nejen zvenku. Šestá hvězda za moc milé pracovníky.
Moc fajn, přijedeme zase :)

Beautiful View

I have visited this castle many a times during my childhood. It is a very romantic site with a beautiful view and historical ambiance. I had even accessed the castle by climbing the cliff upon it sits as rock climbing feat when that was my sport.
This time, I have visited the site with my biking group, on the way to Dresden, along the Labe (Elbe). We were not disappointed. Sun was shining, the meal and beer were excellent. We spent close to two hours enjoying the atmosphere.
I highly recommend visit to anyone with interest in history, but it is, also, a nice outing for hiking enthusiasts with a meal and "cheer" waiting at the end of the trek. The climb on bikes was somewhat hard, though.

Nádherná "zřícenina", která se zdá být výš a dál, než ve skutečnosti je. Ochotný personál jak v restauraci, tak u samotného vstupu na prohlídku. Hrad je opravdu hodně zajimavý svým rozložením a byla by škoda ho minout. Určitě na chvíli poseďte v místní hospůdce a vychutnejte si výhled u - v našem případě - skleničky skvělého vína.

Must see Castle in Czech republic

I have visited this castle before years ago, but thoroughly enjoyed going again. Views over the river Elbe valley are spectacular and having a Bohemian meal with this kind of scenery is breath taking. Learnt a bit more this time and even saw the cannon balls embedded in the wall of the gate house! Get out of Praque and visit different areas, CZ has much to offer, go find it!

Family wedding

Recently had the pleasure of staying at the Strekov Castle whilst attending a family wedding. What a beautiful venue with stunning unending views from the castle ruins over the Czech countryside, even more magical in the night light. The bar staff were fabulous and we're constantly making sure you were looked after and the food delicious. Don't know if the DJ came with the hotel package but he was completely bonkers and brilliant and certainly had the party going. We stayed overnight and the rooms were lovely and very comfortable. All of the above and a good breakfast before we set of to the airport to head home made it a fabulous wedding with lots of amazing memories.

Great views and history

The castle is quite small but you can spend about 1 hour here visiting and admiring the views. There is also a nice restaurant and walking trip if you want to stay in the area longer. We walked into Strekov and to the lookout post afterwards.
Entry price is very reasonable and during July/ August you can wander around with a paper guide rather than having to book a tour guide. English translation is a bit lacking in detail but there are more signs explaining each part of the castle - remember that not much is original because of the way it was left in ruins 200 years ago. Finally, there are a lot of stairs so be prepared to work the legs!

Interesting and worth the climb

We stayed in Usti nad Labem on a River Elbe cruise. There was plenty of time to walk along the road walk over the lock and under the railway line to begin climbing the windy road to the top of the castle.
Signage in the castle could be a little better but we were given a crib sheet in English to help. The climb is not for the faint hearted but the views from the top are well worth the trip.

Beautiful Castle

Visited this historical castle while on a European holiday in late August 2019. This 14th centuary castle which sits pirched atop a cliff is very interesting. There is also a lookout to take in the breath taking view of the area (but is a little steep). There is a restaurant & some shops at the base of the cliff.
