A few kilometers north of Topoľčianky in the Tribeč Mountains in western Slovakia are the ruins of Hrušov Castle. It rises from the Skalka peak at a height of 488 m.This royal castle was built in the 13th century to protect the trade route through the Tribeč Mountains. In 1708 it devastated the emperor's armies and it has been in ruins ever since. However, its preserved walls create a romantic atmosphere and there is a wide panoramic view of the Tribeč and Pohronský Inovec mountains.
