Vrchlabí Castle and KRNAP Museum
Zámek Vrchlabí
A Renaissance castle in the gateway town to the mountains. Together with the neighboring monastery, it houses the Krkonoše National Park Museum, which presents mountain nature and history.
Vrchlabí is the gateway town to the Krkonoše Mountains. The 16th-century Renaissance castle has four corner towers. Today, the castle and the Augustinian monastery across from it serve as a museum run by the national park administration, presenting mountain ecology, glacial landforms, and the lives of mountain people. Interactive exhibits are great for children. The castle garden is open free of charge. The town is served by long-distance buses to Prague and Špindlerův Mlýn, about 15 km away.
