Hi everyone! 👋 On Saturday, as part of our weekend getaway, we visited Jezeří Castle. This place is a total hidden gem on the slopes of the Ore Mountains. The castle stands directly on the edge of a massive brown coal mine. 🏗️ ** *Ahoj!* 👋 *V sobotu jsme v rámci našeho víkendového pobytu navštívili zámek Jezeří. Tento unikát se nachází na svazích Krušných hor a stojí přímo nad hnědouhelným lomem.* 🏗️ ![1000093163.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/AJmsyUt2gn2ZRdNuHeTDmbf4J8NsfX4RFjTP2U2Sdy2gPedHyNRoM4JiGfAfah4.jpg) ![1000093169.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/23tvg5ynZpo3u8UpkYT72tWm7d86ni8ybrVtmkLXvwjoAGCv8PReenV8kNsk8A7YAsNHE.jpg) https://mapy.com/s/magosodenu https://maps.app.goo.gl/Z6HahdxPN7UqbMUG8?g_st=ac Parking about 200m from the castle, followed by a short walk uphill. The weather was cold and foggy, which actually gave the castle a perfectly mysterious, moody atmosphere.🌫️ ** *Parkování je asi 200 m od zámku, pak kousek do mírného kopce po silnici. Počasí nám sice nepřálo (mlha a zima), ale zámek měl díky tomu tajemnou atmosféru.* ![1000092878.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/2423sLzGzKEgxb5uo8WTBvm1m1cZmV5SEsYyen2RKYBTGVLMyBmeAQNJjxEbwjfueJznx.jpg) ![1000092879.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/EpLeZuoKTPWn5obgf6tifuj7Y5HfZdXcLER8bHwm1dAwrsdA27Q9H5Lt89Qx8168y8K.jpg) ![1000092880.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/23rz2xPqwBKmrAZHDuJRZdQaJZAoFEhAEUKGzshkbKXr5Q5rbfvMTiwSHpJwnGJFUE2So.jpg) Originally a Gothic fortress from the 14th century, it was rebuilt into a Renaissance chateau in 1549. It’s one of the largest in Bohemia, but it has a dark past. After being nationalized in 1948, it fell into ruin and was even scheduled for demolition in the 80s due to mining. Luckily, the excavators stopped just 500 meters away! 🛑 ** *Původně gotický hrad byl postaven ve 14. století a v roce 1549 přestavěn na renesanční zámek. Je to jeden z největších zámků v Čechách, ale jeho osud byl pohnutý. Po roce 1948 znárodněn, začal chátrat a v 80. letech měl být kvůli těžbě dokonce srovnán se zemí. Naštěstí se rypadla zastavila jen 500 metrů od něj!* 🛑 ![1000092909.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/EpvhyDtg8QPxqZtFPG7TEAXqDg7QR56xEGM37472izCMrRaQJHmv5GTcEWgiKUq3r64.jpg) ![1000092882.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/EqBcB3u5uUX3Decq531y6bH4SXHZivY4V71RmJwheKwq32j3xMmApg2XhDkuxDZQPZt.jpg) ![1000092884.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/EqNEfwuBHEjbuT9ZJEVJW9k5FppXadaWcHYuF3CgKGut7PRDgzynh46ugAqTCm7cqjB.jpg) ![1000092885.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/23wqkWKu1Rq1t8ZQj1fWXpoZFYXXj1VT2y5rmdi6ej3etNVGeSyaoAnYSMbmkNvMD1oby.jpg) ![1000092881.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/23zRw13fJ9xJqtUzsy4fVeHfEPSeN6hvkeRYghTPFFvatAoGC9qKpQTEyuDne57zy3FRB.jpg) **We took Tour Route 3 because dogs are allowed! 🐶 It’s self-guided, so you can explore at your own pace.** 🐶🐶 ***Vybrali jsme si 3. okruh, protože na něj můžou i psi! 🐶 Prohlídka je bez průvodce, takže máte svůj klid.*** *** The castle is still very much a "work in progress," but the tour completely blew us away. We didn't expect much from the cellars and the ground floor, but the reality was breathtaking. We were just staring in disbelief at every turn! 😮 ** *Zámek se sice stále opravuje a práce je na něm jako na kostele, ale prohlídka nás naprosto dostala. Neměli jsme velká očekávání od sklepení a přízemí, ale realita předčila vše. V každé místnosti jsme jen nevěřícně zírali!* 😮 *** In the cellars, you’ll find fairy-tale creatures and ghosts (the kids will love it! 👻). ** *Ve sklepení potkáte pohádkové bytosti a strašidla (ideální pro děti👻)* ![1000092886.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/23tvXhcvXto2fagdV3qHjFpWsD56gff9CoWxQNWwiXqWXMrhzqFMdMFf7mKersiMW7toZ.jpg) ![1000092887.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/23uQJFpVxzZf9TupLRDC91JypnGDF7o1u2CdStGt1i19MNBL1DgSVtxNYxKcC1soRM73y.jpg) ![1000092888.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/Eo8M6PGT4XU4zCMBnV5D8Rfrk1RhUmV7sDmHqoMg19V2uBQtkdqRVu4jFAdXKgfhYZV.jpg) The ground floor features the Capuchin monks’ quarters, the silver room, hunting rooms, and a stunning view into the castle chapel. ** *V přízemí zase uvidíte pokoje kapucínů, stříbrnici, pohled do zámecké kaple nebo lovecké pokoje.* ![1000092889.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/EpA2zafL5a65cCBArnSqju3gn2SQuKW7WGpiJJ4brJVHNpCPoWVbNRKdCKRxfUXYKnK.jpg) ![1000092893.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/EoiVASbTkwQSm4b14h7e31ps5QjPwZVsfxPNz1ZMspwECRjNGnkbPUyWjW8Vv4Jx9Lk.jpg) ![1000092895.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/23wgPqdCwV54h6FzComHo97JLsqfX8ML8KSoLkNM4Vtj77tPJNc4d1jGmfuPcBZti56MP.jpg) ![1000092896.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/23xVHCvypRWcHWJcxxSoZigx1CAPK3jfaqToknWYvE8FtLorXMn4VcAueB8weBUz4PYcV.jpg) ![1000093161.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/EoeESPfKiQjkpSjAB5w3VdCafCD8bhK5MpPfAhF2HTdotiMTKAfaczoSvcEc9db5GFh.jpg) ![1000092899.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/23vhuammeDZ5FsLjhBteDAE6SHKyp4TCT5zaQph95g2LUNeFAEyZH7PP8SZ2bP7cgVDaA.jpg) ![1000092901.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/EoChDcohTPzDWXFtPm7jyHetFLoJ2frHYy3ofQeFKPG4n9Fcke1iuko4pPAcHnK5gni.jpg) ![1000092903.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/EoChAtXWFifATQt3XWMdHMxo5UBzmpHSxVgBzBqmyxadRZYC3gCHVszkUL8eKJz2ErW.jpg) ![1000092905.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/23u62jmccixkxHdNSuesALxKaAPCLuRdY47FyGRBghLbhqR9L6JR9hHZDeXyoTRvu9grp.jpg) ![1000092907.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/23wMYTANvV9FWwkFsNWPsJ3mnYdCCJhPQbX7sJDWMKaRwUakaR1zMzozPc2yVNiFMoSJP.jpg) We finished the day with a stroll through the castle gardens and a quick snack in the courtyard. ☕🍰 ** *Na závěr jsme se ještě prošli zahradou a dali si občerstvení přímo na nádvoří.* ☕🍰 ![1000092918.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/23w2igFjvxts7QuUnciqwnowvBbpGg6oKW3wzgvEcoJcuHK3jc62bFd9CYVpVY3RFRdC4.jpg) ![1000092910.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/EpQupVbxtuLw5LtHbyf45HxW36icq6R6jnwxgGzLFRssXyGTswm4UicxDemFgCW8ZYf.jpg) ![1000092912.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/EpxpL81Ubfeb1rbJf9ZHqDtHUMs1jWiSYnzj1JcLFyynSmiEXqMuZr94f4DRMRAKszJ.jpg) ![1000092915.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/Eq9Uk6MNGpmq8NJ4HDeptvKbWHrnKpaw45i5BETtp2jawXHx4shU3iRyTHSKmQkvhvy.jpg) ![1000092917.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/EpnBNCp1QpMR53Yv5Dbj8HqAj6VVT417ApLopyFEyH6sjbfWpvwvbf8fkNF3z77iAs7.jpg) ![1000092914.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/Eq9TuQgjSvBjGCo1PZG7iqPc2HgJbddTSxBobDgsoLvvnbNW78TMMTSJvYoeFiYeZBR.jpg) ![1000092924.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/EpNnWLWcUTNnXEY29aVWP6k143nmLttmaPdJq323dAobPUQartwi6bmzygpGkhVex8S.jpg) **I highly recommend visiting the castle, though its exterior is somewhat underwhelming.** 🏰 ***Návštěvu zámku, který zvenku nepůsobí nijak oslnivě, vřele doporučuji.*** ![1000041964.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/23xyvixEw5woHh1AvkKbovLzJ7KhixNWj1PsQVRHnycYuYmGEx73Yvo3rpHfHz65q668L.jpg) I got this photo from SkvěléČesko.cz to show the contrast between the castle and the coal mine. ** *Tento snímek jsem si vypůjčil ze serveru SkvěléČesko.cz, abych ilustroval kontrast mezi zámkem a hnědouhelným lomem.* ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.skvelecesko.cz/zamek-jezeri-horni-jiretin-zamek-na-rozhrani-dvou-svetu-a4446 ![1000093165.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/243M3DT4ky2zbu3HGLa6uQzbcnpMqXPtbwkCyBXZUoEdqdD29H7RKZowbKzvnpfk4wiqK.jpg) ![1000041964.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/23xyvixEw5woHh1AvkKbovLzJ7KhixNWj1PsQVRHnycYuYmGEx73Yvo3rpHfHz65q668L.jpg) ...*"Translated into English by DeepL."*... ![1000042336.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wahaceggy/Ep81SPPaHkdik4QXFhmr2iTJ665UGy1NmdwR4pkcigXQrAfqH5PjVDJUsGjw1GFQbog.jpg) [//]:# (!worldmappin 50.553962 lat 13.504815 long d3scr)
