A video posted by two British YouTubers, operating under the channel Wolfpack Adventures, has sparked outrage as they rode their mountain bikes through Prague Castle. The video titled “Angry Guy Tried to Fight Me & Kicked My Bike!” showcases the YouTubers speeding through the streets of Prague and performing stunts on the Castle Steps, drawing criticism from viewers who find such behavior disrespectful to the historic site.

The incident came to light when a concerned Prague resident shared his frustration on social media, expressing disappointment in the lack of respect shown by the bikers towards Czech culture, history, and authorities. The resident took action by contacting Prague Castle Administration, and an email response from the tourism department director confirmed that the matter had been forwarded to the Castle Police for further investigation.

However, both Prague Castle and the police initially remained silent on the issue. The police claimed they were unaware of the incident, while the Czech Road Safety Information Service (BESIP), when questioned about the dangerous biking shown in the video, promised a response but failed to deliver.

The actions of the YouTubers have generated significant backlash, with viewers expressing their disapproval of the disrespectful behavior towards a renowned cultural and historical landmark. Prague Castle Administration has taken the matter seriously and referred it to the Castle Police, urging them to involve the state police in the investigation. This incident highlights the need for better safeguards and regulations to protect historic sites and ensure that visitors adhere to respectful conduct.

Preserving the integrity of historic landmarks is crucial for maintaining cultural heritage, and such incidents undermine the efforts to protect these sites. The incident at Prague Castle serves as a reminder that visitors must exercise responsible behavior and respect the rules and regulations in place to safeguard these cherished landmarks. The public outcry over the video has shed light on the importance of upholding respectful conduct and the need for stricter measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
