Which way is it? If you don't want to just scroll, click and use these cool shortcuts ;o)
Do you feel like... or do you need...?
Welcome our visitor, here's some information from us so you don't get lost at our event, keep scrolling or jump straight to what you're looking for ;o)
You have to buy a separate ticket for each day, so there is no weekend ticket and no family ticket. So each person who pays has their own...
The whole event of the Karlštejn wine festival is organized by the Karlštejn Cultural Association within the framework of free time, without any fees. We enjoy this work, even though it is a lot of it. We have a lot of external costs that we need help with from you, just in the form of entrance fees. We also manage to raise some funds through donations and grants from regional bodies and from stall hire.
These funds are used to pay for external participants (jugglers, trumpeters, fencing groups, ...) and their accommodation, technical facilities such as toilets, sound engineers, fees for the event, insurance of the event, renting costumes and their care after the event, exterior modifications, rental of the castle premises, etc.
Within the municipality, see map, i.e. the central part of the municipality. Entrance is charged on both days of the event from 9:00 am. This admission fee is not included in the tickets for the Karlštejn Castle sightseeing tours (National Heritage Institute), parking areas (Karlštejn municipality) and admission to the knight tournaments on the banks of the Berounka River.

Click on the map for the full size and legend to the markers.
So that we are not alone, here are some tips on how best to get here.
The train is the most comfortable, especially if you are on its line. Here we have line 171, which is Prague - Beroun via Karlstejn. Only passenger trains stop here, the S7 line. This is included in the PID fare zone. Karlstejn station is in zone 3 (PID ticket from Prague is bought for 7 zones and you are here within 35 min). From morning and during the day the connection runs every 1/2 hour in both directions from about 20:00 then only once an hour. Last connection to Prague leaves at 23:02 and vice versa, direction Beroun at 0:02
Arrivals/departures and timetable of line S7.
The train station is in Karlštejn, near parking lot 2 and the medieval knight tournament area of the Traken theatre, see map and then walk to the centre of the action via the bridge over the Berounka river.
Approximate distances from Karlstejn railway station:
~ 980 m to the start of the parade
~ 1.3 km to the centre of the village below the castle
~ 2 km to the courtyard of Karlstejn Castle
If you also want to take a walk, then there is still the possibility to use the line 172, Lochovice - Zadní Třebaň and get off it, for example, at the station:
Zadní Třebaň - walk from here (~ 3.2 km) or change to the S7 train
Běleč - walk from here (~ 5,7 km)
Liteň - walk from here (~ 5,9 km)
You cannot get directly to Karlštejn by public transport bus, there is no regular line. We only have bus stops nearby, from where you can walk or ev. transfer to the S7 train at the respective stops.
PID line 311 (Prague Zličín - Řevnice) & the possibility of occasionally changing to S7 or S6=>S7
- Řevnice - from here on foot (~ 6,2 km) or change to train S7
- Mořina - walk from here (~ 4,2 km)
- Rovina, Hlásná Třebaň - from here on foot (~ 5,3 km)
- Bubovice - walk from here (~ 6,1 km)
- ev. stops Rudná, Nučice with a transfer to S6 train and further to the final and S7 train
Central Bohemia line 633 (Beroun Zdejcina - Liteň)
- Korno - on foot from here (~ 5,1 km)
- Liteň - on foot from here (~ 5,9 km)
If you arrive by your own car, motorcycle, bicycle, ... then here is some information to be prepared for their accommodation in the letter of the law and the execution of our executioners. Thus, especially attention for the cars on the amount of alcohol they have consumed and the subsequent journey from here, so that it is not still under the influence ;o)
We don't have any dedicated parking for bikes or scooters anywhere. Due to the heavily congested traffic, please leave your healthy means of transportation strapped outside the central event area, strapped in so as not to interfere with anyone in the vicinity. Please remember the passage of wheelchairs, strollers, carriages, passage of performers, entrances and exits to surrounding properties, passage of emergency personnel, ... Well, just be considerate.
It's the same for motorbike, mopeds and scooters in our village as it is for cars, so read below ...
If you make it this far, be fully considerate and patient. You can only park in the designated parking lots in the village. On normal days, this is the only central car park, on the left bank of the Berounka, between the TJ Karlštejn and the U Elišky pub. At times of increased attendance, which the Karlštejn Vintage Festival is, there is also a temporary parking lot on the right bank of the Berounka River, just behind the bridge on the grassy area from where balloon pilots often take off.
There is an attendant at both car parks who will send you to the other one if the capacity of the car park is exhausted.
Note: Consider the above troubles and try to stop in the adjacent villages and continue on your own, perpendicular or change to the S7 train. Plus, the train journey doesn't restrict the supply of alcohol to potential carters that much ;o)
Please familiarize yourself in advance with these traffic signs that are installed in our village, read carefully their additional tables, so that the cats don't get angry with you and you don't spoil an otherwise amazing experience...
We don't need to introduce this, everyone can do it themselves... We have countless restaurants here, they will be glad to see you.
We are also full of stallholders with tasty treats, some are permanent, others like to come back. During the vintage season, there is also wine and bourbon flowing. Some are local, others brought in especially for you.
Did you know that wine and bourbon is also available from local vineyards? In fact, we have large vineyards managed by the Vineyard Research Institute, and the afternoon imperial parade is just starting from their headquarters.
We have two shops here, one at the municipal office of mixed goods at Malečků and on the pedestrian zone it is Slabihoudek grocery. There are others in the surrounding area, e.g. in Mořina, Litni, Roviny, Lety and Beroun or Králov Dvůr.
Even if you are not tempted by the medieval events in Karlštejn or just passing through it, we have a very interesting and busy programme for other visitors during the weekend of this event - Saturday 23 September and Sunday 24 September 2023. Its organisation is so demanding that it is necessary to charge admission for the space we take up, always. We have already had the XXVth edition, so this is not news. Therefore, you too accept this fact and please pay the entrance fee for entering or passing through the enclosure, see information for those "just passing through". We try to put this information in various places such as the castle, the tourist club, our website, the municipality's website, ... and for random tourists passing by, we post signs at intersections on how to avoid the paid area.
How to avoid paying? As well as another date to visit, you can look at the admission policy, maybe a section in the free entry section will appeal to you or you can make a pre-purchase, we have details around admission here.
Dear lovers of historical monuments, there really is no other way to access the castle than via the toll section. If you're already here and have paid extra to enter the castle grounds, stay and enjoy the nice atmosphere with us for a while.
The information above also applies to visitors to other attractions in our community that are in the area.
Even a simple passage through Karlštejn - the bay is charged in the same way as above. Detour routes are marked at tourist crossroads with portable signs, here is an electronic version of these detour routes.
Dear participant of our event, whether you are in costume, helping with the organizing or offering your product range at the event, we have some info for you here and there, scroll on, or jump directly to what you are looking for ;o)
Yes, everyone who comes in medieval costume, dressed from head to toe (the paper royal crown from Burger King doesn't really count... ;o) gets in for free.
If you regularly attend these events and have your own costume, you win, just wear it and turn up.
You can buy or rent a costume from any costume rental shop. You can rent any costume from an executioner, to a miller, to a duke. There are no restrictions.
Costumes can be rented directly from KKS, the event organizer, by appointment, at the request of our costume makers through local channels. Due to their workload, there is a restriction on picking up and returning the costume. Pickup is only possible on the Friday before the event and return on the Sunday after the event. It is not possible to arrange for any loan/return by the CCC at other times. So if you are local, near local or plan to be here from Friday morning to late Sunday evening, this is the way to go, see link in the introduction.

I'm going to "just sit" on a plane, it's the Canaries I'm after, not your plane, I'm not interested in that at all...
I'm just going to pay my taxes and only half of it, I don't like the rest...
I'm going to your stand to "just taste" your sausages...
I'm just going to try out the sleeping arrangements in your rooms...

Representatives of KKS, the organizer of the event, are citizens of Karlštejn, and also go to events elsewhere. We know ourselves that absolutely unexpected situations can occur. So if you really need to "crash" into/out of the event area, use the roads outside the main entrance gate (NOT past the post office/NOT past the Clock House), i.e. past the castle to Mořina, ideally the lower Hluboký, past Mlsná Huba, Dragon Rock, U Dubu and Mořina. WATCH for times around the afternoon main imperial parade on both days and the Saturday night lantern parade and fire show in the square. Only EMS or life threatening vehicles will be allowed to pass through at these exposed times. See the event program or event map or trafic restrictions setctions for details.
We hope and wish that no one has to take advantage of this.
