Žumberk Fortress and Rural Baroque

Žumberk Fortress is a quiet trip to a Renaissance fortress, ramparts and village architecture. It lies towards the Nové Hrady area and pairs well with Terčino údolí or Nové Hrady.

Who this trip suits

• lovers of history and rural monuments
• families looking for a shorter, easy-to-grasp destination
• a car trip combined with the Nové Hrady area

What awaits you there

• a fortified stronghold with bastions
• a village green and houses with rural Baroque features
• exhibitions according to the museum's current programme

Practical notes before you go

• check opening hours and admission with the monument's management
• the visit is rather short, so combine it with another stop
• expect fewer services nearby than in larger towns

Tip from Dvorce: Žumberk is best as a quiet historical stop on the way to Nové Hrady or Terčino údolí. Navázat můžete třeba výletem na Holašovice, Slavonice, Pfaffenschlag a Chlum u Třeboně.
