Overview
According to legend founded in the mid-11th century by Conrad I of Brno, this is one of Moravia's oldest and largest castles, perched on a cliff above the Svratka River — best appreciated from a boat cruising the Brno Reservoir. Electric boats have run from Bystrc to the castle since 1946, covering about 10 km in roughly 70 minutes past a narrow gorge and abundant waterfowl. It's also reachable on foot or by bike via a pedestrian-cyclist bridge leading to the castle entrance. Round-trip boat fare about CZK 150-200; castle interior tours are separate (details may change). Take bus 303 from Zoologická zahrada (about 20 minutes) or catch the boat from the Brno Reservoir dock.
Opening Hours
Boats run April-October (schedule varies by day/season); castle interior via seasonal guided tours.
