    Hiking

    The huge castle, one of the most beautiful castles in Slovakia, the price for the basic circuit is 9 euros, the small circuit is 7 euros, the big one is 13, but you can also enter the courtyard of the castle for free, then you come back, parking is there for 4 euros, there are young girls and they direct you to that parking lot, but you can do as I did and drive right after the 2-paying parking lot, the third turn to the right (by the station) and it's free..

    The first Dracula film, entitled "Vampire Nosferatu", was shot here in 1921.
    This film is one of the most important films in film history.
    The castle rock rises vertically 118 m above the Orava River. You have to climb 660 steps to reach the top floor. Many different construction phases have shaped this castle over the centuries. The top building, which was built on the needle-shaped tip of the castle rock, is really interesting.
