A stop in the Devín Hrad (Devín Castle)

A visit in the Devín Hrad (Devin Castle) is definitely worthy.
Easy to get there with the bus line 29 from Bratislava, or the way I did, with the bus 28 back from Sandberg and get out in the Stop "Devín".
The Devín Castle, actually more a fortress than castle, existed was built as a military station during the Roman period and later, 15./16. century,was rebuilt in a fortress.


The castle consists of many excavations, ruins and monuments. It's a huge complex.

From the castle, on the top of the hill, one can have an awesome view from the Little Carpathians and from the Danube (Dunaj) river, more exactly, from its meeting with the Morava river. Really awesome!



Its been three days since I'm back from Slovakia and I still feel so excited about the experience of  being in Bratislava, up in the Sandberg by Devín and in the Devín Hrad. Beautiful places, good food and friendly people. 
Slovakia! I'm glad I met you.
Djakuiem!
