Unfortunately didn't get to the castle. Just saw it from a few hundred meters away. Tried to get there in a 2wd sedan but the road was too muddy. Had to pull over off the main road shortly into the drive in then continued on foot. Got to a fork in the road and took a left instead on a right (no signs) and ended up in a muddy forest on top of a hill over looking the castle. Ran out of time to go back and continue the walk to check out the castle. But from what I saw on top of the hill, it looks pretty damn amazing. What a location surrounded by 4 small mountains on each side. And it looks like it's been taken by nature. Found out afterwards that you apparently catch a bus from a town nearby to see it. Anyway, if you get the chance, I recommend it but best to do your research!! Well, it is huge - its parameters open up slowly as you approach. One of the biggest castles in territory I ever seen - and I've seen a lot. Gladly pretty much remanied from the building itself, plus there is maintanance, refurnishing and rebuilding work going on. Surely will swing back sometime to see how far the rebuilding gets. Applause for those working on it while not even entra ce fee is taken (charity box placed)! A circa hour tour from the parking place to the in nearly untouched nature following the path of a stream. Old ruins still under reconstruction. With wild surroundings and nice people. Even journey here is adventure and not so many visitors due to 4km walk. A well-preserved ruined castle, about an hours walk from the parking lot. The entrance is free and there's a lot to see - even a brief history of the renovation works. Well worth your time and visit, park at the end of Cabradsky Vrbovok and follow the blue hiking trail. A really beautiful ruin in the middle of hills and green ridges. The access through the stone 'castle road' is an experience itself (from the north along the blue marker through the valley of the Konstianský brook). The conservation work is done sensitively and in the best way - the nice mature trees remain there, the conservation work is only done locally - so it doesn't affect the overall impression of the place and the remains romantically photogenic. MANY THANKS to the people and organisations who take care of the in this way. (I have to say that at several other SK castles I had the feeling of a batch plant and global construction site, where construction activities and materials are a long-term part of the whole area, and thus do not allow visitors to enjoy the national cultural monument - nor partly). Once again, in conclusion - a big praise to all competent and involved - the is beautiful and it is worth coming. This is the best it gets. You are free to move around the as you wish, you can explore as much as you want and you can donate some money if you like what you see. There is very little signs of civilization in this place so you get a better feel of what it was like to live back then. Great ruins set in forests full of wildlife. Secluded and peaceful, perfect for recharging the batteries. Note: no phone signal there! Good parking north of followed by a ~40 min hike each direction. Very interesting exploring the ruin and cool to see that they’re working on restoring it Wonderful hike with beautiful forests and varied views and landscapes. Easy to do also for families with children. itself is large and you are free to explore it with few limited access areas. It's being renovated and people working on it are enthousiastic and willing to share stories and informations. From the walls and windows of the are priceless views. Beautiful experience. Beautiful and peaceful place, a bit hidden away. From the parking lot it’s about a 3.5 km walk following the blue tourist trail. The is still in ruins, but volunteers have already started the restoration work. Progress is slow, but you can see they are carefully rebuilding parts of the old structure. Hopefully in a few years it will look even more impressive. One of the most beautiful ruins in Slovakia. We have already stopped going to the ruins here because they are full of construction material, scaffolding, plastic and garbage. They have been restoring them for decades, which means that they will be in the trash for decades. However, Čabrad' is a completely different ruin, the renovators there clearly have a sense of beauty. They didn't cut down the trees, the scaffolding was only on a couple of buildings. There is no trash, except for a couple of boards at the entrance. Nádherné miesto, história, krásna príroda, čisto čo je na Slovensku ojedinelé. Po turistickej modrej značke som nevidela jeden odpad , papier bola som veľmi príjemne prekvapená. Very nice hidden from view in the forest. We walked about 45 minutes through the forest on an easy going, wide track. It is 90 % gentle downhill except for the final approach to the which is a moderate incline. Príjemné prostredie. Pohodová dobre označená trasa z parkoviska až na hrad. Samotný hrad je prekvapivo veľký takže sa tam oplatí poprechádzať. Pod hradným kopcom je aj kaplnka kde som sa tiež zdržal. Ak ste v okolí rozhodne odporúčam ako príjemnú vychádzku. Veľmi zaujímavá zrúcanina hradu "V strede ničoho". Vcelku ma milo prekvapila jeho veľkosť. Cesta na hrad, ako je už viac krát spomenuté nieje náročná a určite to zvládnu aj deti, no treba rátať s dobrou hodinkou chôdze po lesnej v našom prípade dosť zablatenej cesty. Posledných niekoľko 100 metrov ku hradu sa ide hore kopcom. Každopádne je to výborný výletík a z hradu sú veľmi pekné výhľady. Občianske združenie, čo sa o hrad stará robí dobrú prácu. Dúfam, že do budúcna sa podarí spraviť nejakú expozíciu z nálezov z hradu.
