Koberštejn, Castle ruin in Horní Údolí, Czech Republic

The stone ruins of Koberštejn castle stand at 912 meters above sea level, offering views over the Black Opava valley from a rocky promontory.

The castle was constructed in the late 13th century to protect gold mines in the Golden Mountains and guard the entrance to the Wrocław bishopric territory.

The cylindrical tower with a diameter of 10 meters served as the main defensive structure, controlling the surrounding area from its highest point.

Visitors can access the ruins through two marked trails: a 3-kilometer blue trail from Horní Údolí or a longer red trail from Rejvíz village.

The remaining walls of the main tower reach a height of 9 meters, with a horseshoe-shaped moat and earthen rampart protecting the southern access road.
