The Courage and Love of Devin Castle

Description:

Devinsky Castle (ruins) is one of the oldest castles in Slovakia. The first mention of it dates back to 864. The castle is located at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers, not far from the highest point of Bratislava (Devinska Kobyla - 512 m.A.), on the site of a Stone Age settlement.

The Roman Observatory Tower, the Great Moravian Castle, the stronghold of the Prince of Savoy in the victory over the one hundred and fifty thousandth Ottoman army, which is equated to the Battle of Stalingrad. Even later, the border of the “socialist” and “capitalist” worlds passed near the castle, through which civilians tried to escape many times.

Entrance to the castle is 5 € (children's -2.50 €, up to 6 years free), family ticket 10 €. The cost of the ticket is paid in addition to the cost of the excursion on the spot.

You will see the walls of a century and a half ago. You will touch the stones that remember mammoths. You will learn the sad and funny stories about the castle, and why it has such a strange name. You look at the confluence of the Danube and the Morava from a bird's eye view, and splash water into the deepest well. The severity and strength of the castle, as well as the beauty of nature, will not leave you indifferent.

Between May and September, on the first Sunday of the month, knightly games are held in the castle. Participation in this event is not included in the tour and is stipulated separately. (This book is for people of all ages from 3 years old.) With great interest in the Knights Games, this event will be allocated as a separate excursion.

Additional bonuses: With the number of customers 1-4 delivery in Bratislava to the castle and back is included in the cost of the tour. If you wish (during navigation), you can return to the city on the Danube by boat. Ticket price 8 € (children's 6 €, up to 2 years free)
