The visit to Karlštejn Castle was beautiful, though the official castle tour felt a bit rushed. Lunch was tasty and well organized. The highlight was Adam’s cave tour. He explained the stalagmites, stalactites, delicate “curtains,” ribbed formations, and even “roses,” making it fascinating to see how these natural wonders are formed. His knowledge and passion really stood out. Overall, a well-organized and memorable day. Highly recommend!”
