SK, Learn About Slovakian Castles, Afoot or By Bike

Published: 29.7.2018
Summer is in full swing and it is the best time for family trips. Medieval castles are among the most popular attractions. Children and adults enjoy this. That's why we were fascinated by a new book that helps you to discover medieval castles from a new perspective.

The new book From Castle to Castle Part Two offers several interesting hiking or cycling ideas which take you to the most popular castles in the central and eastern part of Slovakia. The part two which takes on discovering castles tries to combine active rest and learning something new. The authors of the book are Daniel Kollar and Jan Lacik.

For Demanding Tourists As Well As for Families

From Castle to Castle, the routes are usually of easy to moderate difficulty. However, they can be shortened and offer only visits to individual castle sites. Almost any route may be done either afoot or by bike. It depends upon your fitness.

Interesting Facts and Legends

In addition to the description of each route, the book does include attractions related to individual castles and rumors about them. The authors have selected the most beautiful ruins to this publication not only from a visual point of view, but also from a tourist perspective. As the publications about the castles are already exhausted, they tried to describe the castles in a different way.
