Český Krumlov castle and its tower on a rock above a bend of the Vltava river, with the old town roofs below
Český Krumlov · Where to stay

Staying in Špičák

Check how far your room sits above the Špičák stop and which route your host recommends toward Latrán. The return climb matters more than the downhill arrival in the center, especially with shopping or luggage. A useful first outing is to walk toward the lower castle entrance, then cross the river to the square before retracing the route in daylight.

Questions

Staying in Špičák

How long is the walk back from the square?

Allow more than the roughly 15-minute downhill estimate from near the Špičák stop. Your pace, the climb and an address further uphill all affect the return.

Should I book a coach arriving at Špičák?

It may shorten the final journey, but compare the stop with your exact address first. Also check whether the service and departure time suit your wider trip.

Can I walk straight to a castle tour?

Yes, but find the meeting point named on the ticket. Reaching the lower castle entrance is only part of the journey to some tour entrances.
