Cloak Bridge
Plášťový most
A three-tiered arched gallery bridge spanning a deep valley and linking the castle with its gardens; the corridor overlooks the old town, and the view from below is one of Český Krumlov's most classic images.
The Cloak Bridge was built in the 18th century, with multiple stone arches supporting a roofed gallery. The upper level leads to the Baroque theatre and the castle gardens, while the lower level is a pedestrian walkway. Walking along the upper corridor, you can look out through the windows over the red-tiled roofs and the Vltava bend. From the street beneath the bridge, Pod Plášťovým mostem, you can photograph the full three-tiered arch structure. Entry is free, and access follows the opening hours of the castle courtyards. It is also beautiful when illuminated at night.
Opening hours
Open with the castle courtyard, generally 6:00am–10:00pm
