How to get to Karlstejn Castle from prague?

How to get to Karlstejn Castle from prague? What time do trains leave? How much do the train tickets cost and how much does the entrance to the castle cost me?

You walk back from the train station a short distance to the entrance to the town, then up a winding road up through the town (restaurants and souvenir shops) to the castle. It takes about 45 minutes, if I recall correctly (I was there 5 yrs ago).





Note that there is a large forest adjacent to the castle with marked trails (one starts near the gatehouse before the castle itself). I recommend hiking for a few hours in the area to see some of the little villages and the scenery, especially in the autumn when the leaves change colours.
