    Lot of restoration works happening here. Takes a lot of walking to get to it, but it is worth it for the view.

    Amazing castle ruins, but hard to reach for elderly people. Google guids the wrong of the hill.

    Very nice landscapeviews on valley of river Vah with dominant panorama of Manin's hills. In last years big improvment of enviroment around also historical reconstruction work do by local comunity. If you are affraid that will be difficult hike there from parking place, is not true. It take only 10 min walking upside 😉

    nette Ruine. wird gerade renoviert. wenn die Burgfuine fertig ist und die Beschreibungen auch mindestens auf Englisch sind und nicht nur in slowakisch dann gibt's auch vier oder fünf Sterne. Es gibt wenig unterhalb eine Grillstelle.

    Sehr schöne Ruine, allerdings teilweise unter Restaurierungsarbeiten. Vom Parkplatz bergauf erreicht man die Ruine über einen Waldweg/Forststraße zu Fuß in ca. 15 Gehminuten; für Rollstühle und Kinderwagen ungeeignet. Die Aussicht ist sensationell!

    Lovely castle ruin under restoration with spectacular views of the local area

    Easy hike up to the castle. Lovely views of the area from the top. The castle is currently being restored and already looking better than it was years ago. There are also educational boards along the way as well as legends about the castle. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

    Loved it

    Tough to find parking nearby. But it's great to see the community is working together to repair the structure and improve the surroundings. Not too hard to climb and castle ruin is relatively small, but that makes it a good trip great with kids

    Nice place. Was surprised how well it's maintained. You can get a good view on the whole valley from the top and the binocular is for free which is rare these days.

  • 4/5 Ahoj Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Stunning view from top to it surroundings, the castle it self is just a ruined. They try to rebuild some part of it but still long way to go. God bless Slovakia, it has very beautiful nature.

  • 4/5 Eva B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice, reconstruction is in progres, but there is nice view from the viewing point. Short walk into the hill from carpark under the castle. Suitable for small kids too. 4 star only, because even we were there early in the morning, the noise from the motorway was very loud, I was hoping for nice, quite nature walk with nice view. It was only nice.
