For kids
Představ si, že se vrátíš zpět do doby, kdy se na českém území rozkládala velká říše. Byla to éra, kdy české království bylo silným a mocným státem. A právě v tomto období existoval hrad Božkov.
Hrad Božkov stál na kopci nad vesnicí. Otočený do údolí řeky Sázavy ho chránilo jako štít. V té době byl hrad nedobytnou pevností, která byla nejmocnějším a nejbezpečnějším místem v celém kraji. Bylo to jako opevněná pevnost ze staré legendy.
