The ruins of more than 700 years old gothic castle Skála near Přeštice and Pilsen Czech Republic
Skála is a castle ruin in the cadastral area of Zálesí near Příchovice (part of the village of Příchovice) in western Bohemia near Přeštice in the Plzeň Region.
The building is an unusual example of the so-called double castle (ganerbenburg) in the Czech environment. Walck in the czech forest - Trip tip.
The upper castle was accessible via a bridge over a moat, behind which stood a tower gate. Behind her began a staircase or steep ramp that led to the courtyard between the walls. One of the walls has been preserved to the height of the gallery. From the gate to the northeast ran a wall, which joined the end of the rock of the upper castle.
The wall enclosed the farm space.
From a small courtyard, a rock gorge leads to a building called the back gate. On the western side of the core there is a building originally accessible by a ramp, documented by openings on the beams in the courtyard wall. From there, the entrance to the gallery led to the gate, and another entrance led to the bridge over the rock gorge towards the palace core. The bridge did not lead directly to the palace, but to the narrow fence on its south side. The entrance to the core was located in the southeastern part of the building and led to the basement. The predecessor of the fence was probably only a wooden porch, but both variants had a roof supported by a concession to the palace wall and beam pockets. The basement was protected by a small gate closed by a barrier. From here, the path led up a staircase to a small courtyard between two palaces.
The lower castle typologically belongs to the donjon-type castles. At the head was a fragmented square tower. A narrow entrance to the core led between the tower and the perimeter wall. Behind the tower stood a palace, which was adjoined by a rectangular corner on the north side. There is an opening in the western wall of the courtyard, which could have been a younger entrance gate according to different stones and masonry, which was accessed by a staircase from the fort.
The first written mention of the castle comes from 1318, when it was in the possession of William of Rýzmberk
William of Rýzmberk had sons William II, Břeňek (d. 1407) and Půta (d. 1399), who used the nickname from Skála. Břeněk inherited the castle of Švihov, Vilém Skála and Půta eventually acquired Rabí. The last mention of William II. from Skála dates from 1379. Vilém's descendants probably died during his life, and Skála was inherited by brothers Břeněk and Půta, called the elders.
At the turn of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the Lords of Skála used their castle as a base for combat and Lapkov retinue. On the side of Sigismund of Luxembourg, they also opposed King Wenceslas IV, and the castle was therefore repeatedly conquered by the royal army.
After Půt's death, the Skála estate fell to his brothers Jan and Vilém of Rýzmberk. Both had their headquarters elsewhere. In 1425, the Hussites conquered Švihov, and Vilém had to relocate to Skála, which still belonged to him in 1427.
Although the rock formally belonged to Jan, in reality it was occupied by an unknown person and its crew looted in the area. In April 1441, the castle was besieged by an army led by the governor of the Pilsen region Hynek Krušina of Švamberk and the governor of the cities of Prague Hanuš of Kolovrat, who conquered Skála, hanged its garrison and burned the castle itself. The lords of Rýzmberk then repaired the castle and left it to Vilém the Younger of Rýzmberk, who was one of Jan's four sons.
William of Rýzmberk died between 1461 and 1463. He left behind his minor son Půta, whose guardian became William the Younger. King Vladislav Jagiellonský allowed Vilém Jr. in 1474 to transfer all rights to his cousin Půta. He gradually expanded his wealth and over time became one of the richest nobles in the country. He died in 1504 and his sons shared property a year later. Brothers Jindřich and Václav Švihovští from Rýzmberk each received, among other property, half of Skály Castle, which at that time was allegedly still habitable. When Jindřich Švihovský wrote the history of his year before 1551, he did not mention Skála, because it was probably already desolate. The demise of the castle is also indicated by the fact that the transgressions of the subjects were not solved at that time on Skála but on Švihov.
Over the next decades, the Rock was deserted, but in the middle of the seventeenth century it was still in good enough condition for General F. Pieoroni to demolish it in 1658 at the behest of Emperor Leopold I. so that the ruins could not be used as a stronghold by enemies or robbers.

The ČD Class 242 or ZSSK Class 242 (formerly known as ČSD Class S 499.02) is a single-system AC traction electric locomotive made by Škoda Works which is operated by České dráhy. It was made between 1975 and 1981. In terms of development, it is a reconstruction of Class 240 locomotives. It goes up to 75mph (120km). It was made to operate on regional routes with a rake of 4-5 coaches like the Břeclav to Tišnov route. They are mainly used on passenger trains in the Brno and Plzen areas of the Czech Republic although they are likely to replaced by EMUs in the near future.

České dráhy (English: Czech Railways), often shortened to ČD, is the major railway operator in the Czech Republic providing regional and long-distance services.
The company was established in 1993, after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, as a successor of the Czechoslovak State Railways. With twenty-four thousand employees ČD Group is the fifth largest Czech company by the number of employees.
ČD operates trains; fixed infrastructure (such as tracks) is managed by SŽDC. In December 2010, the Czech government proposed bringing SŽDC and ČD together in a single holding company. The government has also changed the subsidy available to ČD and SŽDC.
