Wasserburg Dreiborn ? On the tops of the Eifel, the highest moated castle in the Rhineland ?? It was still missing, just around the corner from the Wildenburg and Reifferscheid Castle... if you imagine what was going on in the Eifel a few hundred years ago... will it be as (un)chivalrous again? Will the Robin Hoods ambush the SUV/Porsche again between Marmagen and Blankenheim for the purpose of redistribution in the feudal-capitalist system...? ?‍☠️ Definitely a great hidden castle, but not open to the public. A dog stops at the archway (but it looks very cute) ? You can't park directly either, which means that you have to hike a little dangerously over the country road (but this also resulted in some great pictures...) ?✌️ Stolen this royalty-free image from 1722 on the web, I always find it particularly impressive. Greetings from the wild Eifel - please visit my blog :-)

The lock is poorly visible from the public road and unfortunately not accessible to visitors. In short, you don't see much of it.

Once again a short break and a detour from the path.??

Very friendly and definitely worth a trip!

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.
