Pernštejn castle
Why a taxi in particular
The castle is off the main roads, which is part of why it survived so well. Hardly anyone comes by public transport: a train to Brno, then a branch line to Nedvědice, with changes and a thin timetable. You will not flag a car down in Nedvědice.
- €170 per car one way, up to 3 passengers
- Per car, not per seat
- The price is fixed when we confirm; there is no meter
- A day trip with waiting and the return is quoted separately
The drive
Two and a half hours on the D1 towards Brno, then north into the Svratka valley. The last twenty kilometres are a narrow road along the river through woodland.
What is in Pernštejn
One of the best-preserved Gothic fortresses in Central Europe. It was built and extended from the thirteenth century to the sixteenth and, more to the point, it was never taken — not by the Hussites, not by the Swedes in the Thirty Years’ War. What you walk through is the real thing, not a reconstruction.
Its other name is the marble castle: the portals and window surrounds are cut from a pale local stone that looks like marble from a distance.
The main impression is the labyrinth of corridors and passages — the castle grew without an overall plan, and losing your bearings inside is the point. There is also the barbican with its defensive bridge, the knights’ hall, a library with eighteenth-century painted decoration, and a lookout tower over the valley.
Pernštejn is a frequent film location, so if the walls look familiar, they probably are.
An hour away is the Moravian Karst with its caves; thirty kilometres brings you to Žďár nad Sázavou and Santini’s church on Zelená hora, a UNESCO site.
