Křivoklátsko Protected Landscape Area (Czech: Chráněná krajinná oblast Křivoklátsko, usually abbreviated as CHKO Křivoklátsko) lies in the western part of the Central Bohemian Region and a small part of the north-eastern Pilsen Region. Most of the area belongs to the highlands of the Křivoklátská vrchovina and lies on both banks of the Berounka river. CHKO Křivoklátsko covers an area of 628 km2. The fact a that such well-preserved landscape lies very close to the Czech capital Prague is due to Křivoklátsko having been the hunting area of Czech kings and princes since the Middle Ages. The Landscape Protected Area is named after the Křivoklát castle in the northern part of Křivoklátsko.
