Quaint little circle, on a rural area, she about the fence and MOF etched into the stones. Nice place worthy of a visit though

A very well maintained stone circle, parking is available beside the entrance gate so you don't have far to walk at all. The stone circle itself is fenced off from the rest of the field and easily accessible through a wooden gate. Grass is well maintained too. There is also a cairn and an alignment here, which is a straight line of stones pointing in a certain direction. A very interesting place if you like historical areas.

It's a historic spot and easy to miss. According to the information it was drained so that it could be seen and enjoyed. Perhaps it had some religious significance, a meeting place for a pagan ritual. Who knows but it's worth a look.

Trencín Castle

Trenčín Castle is relatively large renovated castle, towering on a steep limestone cliff directly above the city of Trenčín. It is a dominant feature not only of Trenčín, but also of the entire Považie region. The castle is a national monument.

History of the castle cliff dates back to the Roman Empire, what is proved by the inscription on the castle cliff proclaiming the victory of Roman legion against Germans in the year 179.

Today’s castle was probably built on the hill-fort. The first proven building on the hill was the Great Moravian rotunda from the 9th century and later there was a stone residential tower, which served to protect the Kingdom of Hungary and the western border. In the late 13th century the castle became a property of Palatine Matúš Csák, who became Mr. of Váh and Tatras.

Matúš Csák of Trenčín built a tower, still known as Matthew’s, which is a dominant determinant of the whole building.
