Stramberk castle
To save you time, here are a few tips on how to reach us and where to park.
If you want a proper day out, we recommend you take the train – either across one hill (from Kopřivnice) or across two hills (from Nový Jičín). Get off at the Štramberk station, cross the wooden bridge over the tracks, and then keep walking uphill. Don’t give up – keep going until you reach the town square, and then walk to the top of the hill where the castle and the tower are located. There are two routes from the square to the castle. The first – which is also suitable for cyclists – is a twisting street which runs past the town’s church and many picturesque cottages, often wholly or partly made of wood. The second route – suitable for pedestrians as long as you are in good shape – is via stone steps leading directly from the square to the castle. We do not recommend you arrive by ship or plane, though helicopters might be able to touch down in the square :-)
