Pěkňajs, bez vstupného This is an amazing place to enjoy with friends families and loved ones. It is located in Nitra region in Slovakia. There is a private and restricted road leading up towards the castle. The entrance of the road can hold about 20 to 25 vehicles. One will need to park at the entrance / foot if the hill and up about 20 to 30 minutes. Parking is free. The towards the is ever so pleasing and one needs to be proper and fit for this walk. The scenery surrounding this place is absolutely stunning and breathtaking. The 360 degree from the top by the caste is astonishing. Once you reach the top one needs to be careful since renovations are being carried out so safety and cautious is required at this time of writing. One can also around within the grounds of the castle. At the top of the the surrounding are stunning with regards to the country sides . There are sitting areas dotted around the for one to sit and enjoy a drink or two or one can also have cooked foods since there are a couple of BBQ areas by the entrance of the castle. Once you have completed your tour one has 2 options to get back down the hill. 1st one can back down to the entrance of the hill to get back to your vehicle. The other is to take the scooter which is not electric downhill all the way through some breathtaking scenery along villages to Topolcany town passing some ranches and vineyards along the way. At this time of writing the price is €10 per person. One can choose their own scooter preference and a safety helmet is provided. This includes a scooter ride all the way down about 10km and get picked up with the scooters back to your vehicle parking at the bottom of the castle. The company that offers this service is shown in the pictures attached. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to see and enjoy a day out. Thank you and have a great day 👍🌟 Zrúcanina hradu ktorá je nad obcou Podhradie. Parkovať sa dá pri kostole odtiaľ cesta na hrad trvá 10minut. Z hradu sú krásne výhľadi na široké okolie. Small but ruin od Great little around the with lovely For quite an unknown ruin, this one is pretty surprising - on the outside, and also on the inside ... I mean the courtyard part, with open-air amphitheater sort of sitting arrangement (with the surrounding walls, one could easily mistake this for a Roman theater). Missing tourist facilities might be a bummer for some, a welcome aspect (solitude, quiet) for the others. This one asks no money of you. I was just disappointed that the reconstructed tower - the most characteristic part of the - is locked and inaccessible. The into the surrounding country are even from the walls. Btw, very short and easy ascend uphill from the parking lot, on a slightly destructed field road with annoying stones. Small partially renowed castle. No entrance fee required. No guide provided. Great view over the nearby woods from the renovated West tower. There is an open air inner courtyard amphitheatre and renovated main tower (which was closed during both my visits there). Near the main gate there was an old guy teaching kids archery basics. Pred vstupom je síce tabuľa s cenou vstupného, no nik kto by ho vyberal. Vyhliadková veža zavretá napriek tomu, že bola sezóna a víkend. Parkovanie bez problému a zdarma pod hradom. Cesta na hrad vhodná pre deti i seniorov. It's a place in general. Free of charge. view. Parking that is very close and the people there were very nice. There was also an ice cream vendor which gave out ice cream for a voluntary donation. I definitely recommend visiting if you are around the area. The visit doesn't take long and it is a place. First of all, it's free, but it's not manned meaning no tour guides. You have some great of the countryside. Unfortunately you can't go up the tower. Parking is near the castle, just a 10 minute away. The ruin seems to have been renovated rather intensely in the recent years. Not many other ruins offer the same level of safety features and restoration of walls. The inner yard seems to be used also for theatre or other performances with the amphitheatre-like wooden seating. The castles tower was not accessible during our visit in September 2019. That was probably the only minor disappointment. There are plentiful places around the ruin from where you can view the surrounding area. For photographers there's plenty of elevated places to shoot from and the many windows of the main wall open up for different lighting games throughout the day. One of the best places to visit when visiting Topoľčany region. Great views, large ruins with occasional open air theatre. Must visit. A hidden gem for medieval history lovers Красиво, но ветер. Там есть парковка 2 евро - на 3 часа.
