Great little fortress with amazing views over the valley! The path is not well maintained so be wary of that.

Nice old castle Ruins! Good to wander and walk around. I recommend stopping at the restaurant by for a coffee break or even to have lunch! People are very nice and helpful. If they can't speak english they will try somehow to help you in any case.

Clean Mountain air and you can see the whole town from the top. It's a historical place worth visiting. Unfortunately a lot of rubbish everywhere.

Beautiful place to visit.. you can get there with the car and you can see the the whole city from up there. Just an advise.. careful where you go with the car as you might miss the right turn like I did ? enjoy and try to get up there at sunset or at sunrise.. the light is amazing for photography lovers like myself

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
