    I can only rate the walk in Hukvaldy park - it was really nice and not crowded at all, we were there on Monday. We haven't managed to get into caste ruins as it was closed, but still we really enjoyed the walk. It is good place to go with pram as all main alleys are tarmac.

    Not that there is that much to do there but it is a very nice walk to the castle and also inside there is a bunch of places with beautiful views of surrounding countryside. Admission fee is 70 CZK for adults. If there is no special occasion, you can walk around, try archery, see model of the castle in the past, go to a small chapel or just have a beer.

    Awesome and huge castle with possibility to climb many walls and towers and even a game for children. You can go to celler and enjoy a view from several viewpoints. It is located in nice park and entrance fee is low.

    Really nice place... ideal for picnics and trip with children. It's not so long walk, relatively cheap tickets, good beverages and a great events during summer weekends. 9/10 points ;)

    The entry fee is not expensive so it's worth to pay for it. For very low price, you get very beautiful views of surroundings and also very nice tour inside the castle. The castle is splendid. Huge, clean and amazing. There are also toilets, that are very modern and clean. It's hard to get into that castle becouse its position is very high, but its definitely worth it.

    Amazing place to visit, for a walk, maybe shoot some arrows too! Recommend!

    I did not manage to go insite the castle as we arrived late but the view from the top of the hill is quite nice considering it is not so high. The walk through the park to the top of the hill is lovely, it takes around 30 min and it is quite easy going. The statue of "Liska Bystrouzka" is in the park not too far from the entrance.

    Excellent and lovely walk up with the deer free to roam. The coffee shop was ideally located and the views we immense. Also the little things as we walked up. The instrument, the fox, the exposed tree roots. Lovely.

    Beautiful town with a few really lovely places to sit down and eat or have a coffee. The walk through the forest to the castle is gorgeous and the castle itself is awesome and fun. Refreshments are available up at the castle as well.

    Yesterday I went there again after 2 years (my 4th time there) and it’s still an amazing place as it was last time. The whole area gives off a positive vibe and it’s a nice place to stroll around. They as well have stalls where they sell food, drinks, desserts, jewelry and so on. You can enter many parts of the castle remains and into towers to look out at the district. I recommend visiting if you appear in the area.

    Hukvaldy is wonderful. It's everything my imagination of a castle as a child was. My wife resisted going here for YEARS because, never having been there, she assumed it must be terrible. It's not. It's lovely. The hike up is friendly and strolly with some surprises on the way. I promise you it's worth it to see those beech trees. They look great in black and white with mottled sunlight sprinkled across them! Then the castle itself--you have to pay to get in, so it goes--is the most castely castle. Others are good too, but this is one of them. It continues to reveal surprises and corners and turns and is not tedious. You know how you get excited about some castles and then it's three hours of carpets and drapes? That's not this. There are a couple of small exhibit rooms--some weapons, a throne, another type of throne (a more practical pre-porcelain one)--but mostly it's the grounds, the walls, the stones, the stairs, the views, the just being there is so neat. And there are a couple of little souvenir shops that feel relevant to the place, not generalized, and then a nice little garden for the obligatory post-meander pivo. Go here, it's great! Oh--the town is nice too, with some lovely gardens and a fairly welcoming populace and a rare kolač shop.

👍👍 Hezké místo, parádní procházka, klid, ticho. Určitě si to tady užijete a psychicky si odpočinete. Je se na co dívat a obdivovat. Doporučuji procházku brzy ráno s otevírací dobou obory. Je zde málo lidí. V klidu zajdete také až na hrad, prohlédnete vnitřní část hradu (opraveno-hezké). Krásná vyhlídk...

👍👍 Pěkné tiché místo. Kostel je pečlivě udržován. Je vidět, starost o tuto památku. Sedněte si na chvilku a přemýšlejte nad čimkoli.
