Taking a walk from the town up till the castle was pleasant! Inside the castle is a restaurant, cafe and you can visit for free just to see the scenery. The view is incredible, you can see both side of Bad Münster and the rocky mountains behind. And there are the vineyards all over on the hillsides.

Very scenic castle and village with a cool winding river. Nice to walk, paddle or ride bicycle around.

Cute little castle to walk around with 360° views of the town below. There is a lot of parking and a resturant on site as well.

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
