Why go
This driving route suits visitors who want to compare South Bohemia’s best-known forms of building in a single day. Give Český Krumlov Castle a focused morning visit, then continue to Holašovice for a slower walk around its historic village setting. End at Hluboká Castle, whose different style makes a clear final contrast. The villages and castles are separate stops, so keep time for parking and the walk from each arrival point. This is a one-way plan that ends near Hluboká; arrange your onward travel separately. Check the current interior access at both castles before you choose the departure time.
