We went for a bit of a hike after lunch looking for some nearby castle ruins. Lo and behold, here they are. These are true ruins in a sense that there is not much left of this former grand castle. There are simply too many castle ruins in Slovakia for the country to maintain or preserve all of them. Inevitably there are some which will slowly deteriorate and disappear never to be seen again, but then again the same is true for all of us. Fortunately for us, we have the opportunity for preservation and restoration.
