I don't think it's really worth driving there, quite nice if you come a long way

An interesting place and here you can fantasize about what it was like 5000 years ago. It has required organization and quite a lot of force to get the stones into place. The site is aligned with a unique procession route that archaeologists found a few km to the north and runs in the direction of Svedala. Around Skegriedösen is an open landscape and you can see far in all directions. Today's E6 between Trelleborg and Malmö runs right next to it with speeding cars in a different era.

Hard to say if this is anything, it probably depends on how you look at it. History is always exciting, but truth be told there's not much to see here. A few words on what you're looking at and the place itself. If you have a casual interest in the subject, I don't think this is worth going out of your way for, catch it if you happen to pass.

Beautiful burial ground, the individual megaliths are very impressive. Worth a visit, especially because of the size of the facility.

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.
