Hazmburk, Medieval castle ruins in Klapý, Czech Republic

The castle ruins stand atop a hill at 418 meters above sea level, featuring two prominent towers visible from the Czech Central Mountains.

The Lichtenburg family built the castle in the 13th century, and Zbynek Zajic received it from John of Luxembourg, changing its name to Hasenburg.

The name Hasenburg derives from the Czech word 'zajic', meaning hare, reflecting the heraldic animal of the Zajic family who owned the fortress.

Visitors can access the ruins through a marked trail from Klapý village, with admission prices of 140 crowns for adults and 110 crowns for concessions.

The fortress withstood three Hussite sieges in 1424, 1429, and 1431 before its gradual abandonment in the middle of the 16th century.
