Fan of travelling to mysterious places that are related to devious folklore? Then I have the perfect place for you. The Houska Castle in Czech Republic.

Located on an isolated cliff in Northern Bohemia, it us so far away from any trade routes. No one has any idea who established it, it has been inhabitable for years and locals avoid almost religiously.

Rumour has it that this castle is built over a portal to hell. A deep hole in the limestone floor warranted that rumour. Locals believe hellish creatures, half human half animal emerge to kill the livestock. They

tried to fill the hole with stones, but to no avail as the hole just swallowed it.

So if you’re up for it, a trip would be worth it. Even if you don’t find hellish creatures there, I dare say that the Gothic castle would definitely give you the chills.
