Hrad Okoř (Okor Castle)

We went to visit the ruins of Hrad Okoř, but it was the lunch that made the visit most memorable. At the foot of the ruins lies the castle gates, guarded by fierce lions.



There is a restaurant there too and that's where we had lunch. It was a rainy, drizzly day so we ate inside the round room. Delightfully, we had the restaurant to ourselves.



In the end, the lions won and we could not gain entry to the ruined fortress. It turns out that the lions may have denied us, but it was the rain that scared away the person with the key to the castle gates. We decided to have a bit of fun anyway!
