Rabí Castle

This castle ruin is easily accessible from the center of the town Rabí. The parking now costs 100 Kč per car, guided tour 160 Kč per person, discounted 130 Kč. We chose limited unguided walk for 50 Kč as we were pressed for time. The short access directly to the ticket booth and castle gate is extremely uneven and steep, full of jutting stones and slippery on a rainy day when we were there. Once you get in, the walking gets much easier, as there are more level dirt paths and maintained grass areas. Inside the restored horse stable was a nice photo exhibition of Šumava localities. When you are done here, consider a stop at the well known restaurant in the town square.

Really excellent castle tour for a class of 4th graders. The guide was super knowledgable (and also spoke excellent English). Fascinating history, lovely ruins, and beautiful views even on a rainy day…

Castle ruins in a beautiful state with a great location above the city. Well seen from around the city as well as great views from the castle over the surrounding area.
Only the inner court and the old stables can be visited without a tour. Various tours are offered (here even in English) to see all of the remaining buildings of the castle you need to book various tours. Due to time limitations we only could take the palace tour.
Would definitely visit again to explore the rest of the site.

The idea was excelent, but it was a rainy day. So our exceptation decreased.

one of the nicest ruins in Czech Republic, and we also got the sunny day - and only fee tourists

Great tour on a rainy day. The young lady who gave our tour was very knowledgeable. She was nervous because it was her first tour in just English but she did very well.

Beautiful castle

Stunning hrad highly recommended to visit!
There are 2 tours, lasting around 2/3 hours.

Beautiful castle, low entrance fee. Castle itself has interesting history. The biggest castle complex in Bohemia. Commented guide tour has two types. Good coverage by public transport. Good for starting point of your trip. I recommend borrowing a kayak for near Otava river.

4. Rabi Castle

Rabi Castle is the largest castle ruin in Bohemia. Nestled near the Sumava Mountains and over the Otava River, this unique monument to Gothic architecture was proclaimed a National Cultural Monument in 1978.

Rabi Castle has witnessed many turbulent periods in history and seen many dramatic events under a slew of different noble owners. After a devastating fire in the 1800s, the castle unfortunately began to fall into ruin. The dominant feature of the castle, however, remains the residential tower, from which it is possible to view the vast majority of the Southwestern Bohemia. Lots of interesting surprises are waiting at Rabi Castle.

Amazing castle. Should be more famous in Czech Republic. Great place to visit.

Worth a visit.
