Where the Czech...?#30

Easy one this week! This castle shouldn't be too hard to identify. Do you know where it is?

You have to get up pretty early in the morning to beat Katie from the Prague Monitor. Even if you are in a completely different time zone!

Loket nad Ohří is between Karlovy Vary and Cheb, in Western Bohemia, and the castle was a favourite hunting lodge for Charles IV, among other great Bohemian kings.

Damn! I knew this one too.

I ended up finding Loket accidentally when my friend I got off at the wrong stop looking for Karlovy vary. We found the Lazy River Hostel and stayed 4 days. That castle has the best potato soup and strudel anywhere!
it was wonderful
