Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle in Bohemia

Drábské světničky is a spectacular ruin of a 13th-century rock castle in northern Bohemia, Czech Republic. It is located about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) northeast of Mnichovo Hradiště on the ragged edge of a sandstone cliff high above surrounding landscape. The castle covers a group of seven sandstone rocks, connected with wooden bridges. The most important object is a sitting room with carved altar discovered in 1921. It has been abandoned since the Hussite wars in the 15th century.

In the Příhrazské skály (Příhrazské highlands) there were originally six medieval castles. In addition to the best preserved castle Valečov, there are also the mostly preserved former castles of Klamorna, Hynšta, and Drábské.
