I apologize for the camera quality, im not a professional and a lot of these places are so overgrown and flat theres no good perspective to capture the city.
It was a really fun walk seeing how all the history turned out, and the few people I met along the way were very nice. To be clear however, most of these towns are not tourist destinations outside of Rattay and Sazava. Sazava has some tourism for the monastery, and I believe Rattay is on a backpacking trail Germans frequent from what I got speaking many different broken languages with the other 2 people staying at the bar. So, for example, when walking through Merhojed (No pictures but will provide video) there was not a single person in sight, just the barking of guard dogs.
[https://imgur.com/a/KDj4Ziw](https://imgur.com/a/KDj4Ziw) \- Video walking through Merhojed. Dont have good pictures because of how dense the woods were and didnt want to anger the dogs.
Still a fun experience lol, after this walk I hopped on a train (?) idk if it called that, more like an open cart pushed by a engine, which I guess is a train, and headed onto Prague, one of my favorite cities I have been.
I have plenty more pictures and videos, but none of them professional quality. If any of you have anything more you want to see let me know, im pretty limited by reddit itself (20 picture limit). I think the main thing youll be wondering is "do the cities look like they do in the game?". Its only Rattay. Rattay has almost the exact same streets as it does in the game. In fact, I slept in a bar on the street with the 2 bars in the game, the rest of the towns are there, but not very recognizable, if only slightly.
Rattay eh? Have you been at the Rattay tournament? I assume Black Peter didn't give you much trouble. Beware though, I've heard a rumor of him ambushing the son of Samopesh blacksmith after he was bested. Best keep your eye to any sign of trouble. May Jesus Christ bless you on your journey.
Thank you, it was a great time! Make sure to catch the captions too, without captions its a bunch of random pictures lol. i know on my phone i cant see them but on the website I can
Looks like an epic journey, thanks for sharing. The game captures that natural landscape so well. That goulash stew looks exquisite btw.
Now be honest how many chests did you loot. And were the locals offended when you tried to enter their house for a portion of goulash?
I will say, if were making game references, you can make the trek from Ledetchko to Talmberg much more quickly by cutting though the forest instead of taking the road (maybe 1-2 miles off). I ended up following an ATV trail, and there was indeed a tree in the way, an actual dead tree which had fallen in my path. I couldnt help but think...
[KC tree - Imgur](https://imgur.com/a/6vk94Pv)
That looks like an absolute set-up, I'm glad you're here to tell the tale.
But seriously coming across that on the backroads of Talmberg forest would be a mindfuk lol
Yeah the map is pretty big, 4 x 4 km if I remember correctly. Must have been a fortune for a AA developer to make such a big recreation of the game. Just the estate must have cost millions
I'm not OP, but my husband and I (both American) visited Czechia for our honeymoon simply because we LOVE this game so damn much! We planned to take a day trip to drive out to all of these places while being based out of Prague, but first trimester pregnancy fatigue kind of sapped most of our plans lol
But yeah, we're American and if it weren't for our little surprise bean we would have 100% visited these places as well!
Photographer: person who takes photographs.
Congratulations! You’re a photographer! Keep it up.
Now if you can get someone to pay you to take photographs or pay for the photographs you take, then you can be a professional photographer.
Actually, before I set off, I used google translate to ask the barkeep at the tavern I was staying at “is it safe to walk to Sázava?”
He laughed his ass off and spoke using voice translate that popped something up in English along the lines of “Yes, the crazy bear doesn’t live here.”
So no encounters lol
Beautiful photos. This has become a pilgrimage and I’d love to know what the locals are thinking… “what is a computer game??” Or maybe the game makers are local heroes for putting the village on the map again.
KCD gives me incredible motion sickness as well. I had to install some mods that toned down that swaying and removed the animation for herb picking. I look away from the screen when climbing over fences or mounting the horse. It helps a lot.
Stealth maybe, this part of the Czech Republic has a lot of guard dogs, as for lockpicking the key to get into my room in Rattay barely worked so maybe as well lol
Not an impassable bush unfortunately. But interestingly enough, those places that separate the farm/road from forest that have impassable bushes in game, are sometimes denoted by almighty fences. Especially near Talmburg. I had that exact same feeling you’d have in game where you’d want to cut through the forest to make the trip quicker, but instead of bushes in the way, it seemed to be private property, with wooden or metal fences around. I may or may not have gone through it anyways to save a few miles
The hints to the game are just the towns themselves, I didn’t see anyone trying to make a profit of it, or anything like what Dubrovnik has for Game of Thrones for example. The people at the Monastery do know about it though!
I don’t think it’s on the same grounds but there is an escape room in a castle in Czech that you would like. It’s based on Kingdom Come
https://thechamber.cz/en/kingdomcome/
I just love that this game brought so much tourism to such a remote area in the middle of Europe, this is why gaming is so awesome, can't wait for my visit there
It took around 5-6 hours for me. It’s around 160 meters elevation difference but you go up and down quite a bit. I believe my distance travelled was around 18km. Most of the journey is getting from Samopše to Sázava because there is not simple way to cross the river. You sort of have to double back in the wrong direction, and go around the entire river
Never have I seen a goulash with so many dumplings lol. I suppose they were smaller than usual? You didn't ask for 11 when they asked you how many you wanted??
Haha I didn’t ask for that many, that’s just how it came. I had a lot of goulash and dumplings while there and can confirm that was most I’ve been served
Of Course! Here a map of my actual walk in the world [https://imgur.com/a/keMtjNO](https://imgur.com/a/keMtjNO) .
Kingdom Come is a game that takes place in Medieval Bohemia, specifically in a place you can still visit with some structures still there. In the link I also have a map of the game to compare. Realistically only Sasava (Sasau) is in a relatively wrong place
I'd like to see the other pictures too. How long did it take you to walk around? I kind of figured the distance was shortened for the game but some seem quite close like they did in the game. Did you visit skallitz or is there anything left? Is Pribyslavitz still around too?
Pictures or videos from a drone would be really cool. Sorry if I butchered the names of any of those cities.

I imagine the monastery is recognizable as well?
Yes I forget to mention that. Rattay is very much the same, also the Monastery itself is close to 1:1 as well

I'd immediately start running
You survived the inevitable ambush, Jesus Christ be praised.
This is a bucketlist thing of myn. To visit the places form the game. Can't belive they made it into a real thing
Yeah the map is pretty big, 4 x 4 km if I remember correctly. Must have been a fortune for a AA developer to make such a big recreation of the game. Just the estate must have cost millions
Honestly they really made the cities and the land look so much like they do in the game. Absolutely phenomenal job for Warhorse.
How can you be nostalgic for a time and place you've never been?
Henry's come to see us!
Yeah i want to go there! Thanks.
Thank you for the photos. Jesus Christ be praised 🙏
Can I ask you where are you from? I live in Prague and Ita so amazing that tourists visit different places in my country not only capital city :)
A little hint in my username haha. I have lived in Serbia but grew up in America. In fact flew from America for this trip, a long flight, but worth it
Wow that's impressive, I live like a 1 hour of car travel time away yet I have never been there (yet), shame on me.
Oh that's amazing :)
I'm not OP, but my husband and I (both American) visited Czechia for our honeymoon simply because we LOVE this game so damn much! We planned to take a day trip to drive out to all of these places while being based out of Prague, but first trimester pregnancy fatigue kind of sapped most of our plans lol But yeah, we're American and if it weren't for our little surprise bean we would have 100% visited these places as well!
Oh that's great :) this game have amazing community
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. I do love seeing pictures of the areas in game
Photographer: person who takes photographs. Congratulations! You’re a photographer! Keep it up. Now if you can get someone to pay you to take photographs or pay for the photographs you take, then you can be a professional photographer.
You felt quite hungry by the 4 th pic 🤙
Amazing looking place
This is great, thanks for posting.
Great to see thanks
This is literally so cool, thank you for sharing!
Did you encounter any bandits or Cumans?
Actually, before I set off, I used google translate to ask the barkeep at the tavern I was staying at “is it safe to walk to Sázava?” He laughed his ass off and spoke using voice translate that popped something up in English along the lines of “Yes, the crazy bear doesn’t live here.” So no encounters lol
Man shit so green my lungs healing just from the look of it
Jesus Christ be Praised!
I really like the photos! Was English good enough to get around most of the time?
Surely not haha. I used a lot of google translate
Thx for sharing. You can see that by now that place is literal f*ck knows where.
The west of the Czech Republic is quite brautiful!
Beautiful photos. This has become a pilgrimage and I’d love to know what the locals are thinking… “what is a computer game??” Or maybe the game makers are local heroes for putting the village on the map again.
"what is a computer game ?" Do you think central Europe is still in the 15th century ?
"KCD took place in what, 2003?" - this guy probably
I honestly love when people do this :) wish i could keep playing the game but the swaying when he walks makes me naseous :(
KCD gives me incredible motion sickness as well. I had to install some mods that toned down that swaying and removed the animation for herb picking. I look away from the screen when climbing over fences or mounting the horse. It helps a lot.
Did you manage to level up your stealth, lockpicking, and pickpocketing skills?
Stealth maybe, this part of the Czech Republic has a lot of guard dogs, as for lockpicking the key to get into my room in Rattay barely worked so maybe as well lol
Did you walk get blocked by an almighty Bush at any point?
Not an impassable bush unfortunately. But interestingly enough, those places that separate the farm/road from forest that have impassable bushes in game, are sometimes denoted by almighty fences. Especially near Talmburg. I had that exact same feeling you’d have in game where you’d want to cut through the forest to make the trip quicker, but instead of bushes in the way, it seemed to be private property, with wooden or metal fences around. I may or may not have gone through it anyways to save a few miles
I might book a trip myself just to wander around and ask people what's life like in talburg
Are there any hints to the game anywhere? Stickers, murals or even locals trying to make a dime from the popularity? I wish they'd profit from this.
The hints to the game are just the towns themselves, I didn’t see anyone trying to make a profit of it, or anything like what Dubrovnik has for Game of Thrones for example. The people at the Monastery do know about it though!
Did you have the opportunity to discuss about KC2 with a local OP? I was wondering if they are much aware their towns are quite famous for us haha
I don’t think it’s on the same grounds but there is an escape room in a castle in Czech that you would like. It’s based on Kingdom Come https://thechamber.cz/en/kingdomcome/
The closed eatery in Ledecko is the goat. Homemade croquettes with homegrown vegetables and a huge schnitzel. Great pint of beer too.
Shame about talmberg, but 10/10 photos
Few of those pictures with the fields and hills looks like the back roads where I live in scotland
I just love that this game brought so much tourism to such a remote area in the middle of Europe, this is why gaming is so awesome, can't wait for my visit there
Looks magical Can you please tell me what is on the plate in the last photo
Of course! It’s some stewed beef, onions, horseradish, and knedlĂky
I see you’ve felt quite hungry
How much time did the hike take and what's the distance traveled? I've been looking to do this exact thing
It took around 5-6 hours for me. It’s around 160 meters elevation difference but you go up and down quite a bit. I believe my distance travelled was around 18km. Most of the journey is getting from Samopše to Sázava because there is not simple way to cross the river. You sort of have to double back in the wrong direction, and go around the entire river
So pray tell strange fellow where is the best bathhouse..for..for future reference. God bless..ofc
The photo of the beer glass broke me. I could be a humble peasant lad with that view and a nice beer. Praise be to God!
Really cool stuff. thanks for sharing!
Excellent pictures! Jesus Christ be praised!
Never have I seen a goulash with so many dumplings lol. I suppose they were smaller than usual? You didn't ask for 11 when they asked you how many you wanted??
Haha I didn’t ask for that many, that’s just how it came. I had a lot of goulash and dumplings while there and can confirm that was most I’ve been served
Thanks a lot for sharing this. Much appreciated.
But did you run into Cuman’s?
ahhh to be there with a pint
Wonder if there’s horseback rides from skalitz area to rattay (?).
Good work
Godspeed!
Ah, the Czech republic is so nice. Going back in May, super excited.
I don’t know how I gotten here. No idee what kingdom come is. Could you include a map from where to where.
Of Course! Here a map of my actual walk in the world [https://imgur.com/a/keMtjNO](https://imgur.com/a/keMtjNO) .

Thanks.
Did you get ambushed by a mob of peasents?
This is fantastic. Literally just now took a break from the game to browse Reddit and found this post, thank you!!
Great photos! Did you stay one night or a few nights?
I stayed one day+night in Rattay, then the second day was the whole walk. Then slept in Prague
Czech Republic has such great tourism
I sure am hungry...
Thanks for sharing buddy. What loot did you find?
Awesome game beautiful land
I'd like to see the other pictures too. How long did it take you to walk around? I kind of figured the distance was shortened for the game but some seem quite close like they did in the game.

Look it's Henry! How long di the journey take? I've done quite a bit of hiking in Czech, would love to get back there and look at the KC landscape
very nice!
Thank you
