Czech Republic Castle 'Dívčí Kámen' (Maidstein)
The ruins of Dívčí Kámen Castle embody the harmony of history and nature.
The monumental romantic ruins of Dívčí Kámen Castle can be found on a high rock in beautiful countryside above the confluence of the Křemžský stream and the Vltava River between the towns of České Budějovice and Český Krumlov.
The castle is one of the largest and best-preserved medieval monuments in the Czech Republic.
Due to the combination of rock formations, meandering watercourses, and human intervention, this area is very diverse from a botanical and zoological point of view. Therefore, the castle area has been declared a nature reserve, which is also part of the Blanský Forest Protected Landscape Area.
