Pohled ze zříceniny Kumburk - View from the ruins Kumburk

Kumburk – In the early 14th century, the Lords of Vartenberk built a castle on a conical hill near the town of Nová Paka. Its original appearance is not known. On the north-east side, you can see the remains of a wall that used to run around the entire core. The artillery fortification is an example of active defence mechanisms from the mid-15th century. Eliška Smiřická is said to have been imprisoned in the round tower. From 1621, Kumburk was owned by Albrecht von Wallenstein. After he was murdered, the castle kept changing owners and in 1658, it was damaged. There is a plaque commemorating the visit by the Czech poet K. H. Mácha. The crossroads under Krumburk also offer a north view.
