Hazmburk (Template:Lang-de, literally "Hare Castle") is a mountain peak in the České Středohoří range found in the Czech Republic, near the town of Libochovice. The mountain has a gothic castle at the top, composed of two towers. The castle was home to Zajíc noble family of which Zbyněk Zajíc was the first to own the castle (since 1335). In Czech, the word zajíc means hare, so the name of the castle is a mediaeval play on the name of the first owners, who also had pictures of hares in their coat of arms. After 1586, it remains desolate and later, in the period of romanticism, it became a source of inspiration for writers, most notably K.H. Mácha. The castle is open to public in summer and can be either accessed from the nearby village of Klapý or from the train stop Slatina pod Hazmburkem.
