Beautiful area with both lake castle and church and now with a nice footpath, really nice trip, just one but the small wooden bridge in the reeds is very unstable to walk on

Nice view of the fjord, the lake and its birds.

Beautiful church and beautiful cemetery, both very well maintained. The church is closed to the public but the cemetery is open to them. We have access to a very beautiful view of the fields where we can see animals such as cows or geese. The view also allows us to observe the fjord which is also very beautiful.

Ancient church located overlooking a local bird sanctuary. Impeccably kept and beautiful. Worth stopping by for the views, nature and history.

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.
