The Banská Bystrica Region hides on its hills, in its forests, and in its valleys a multitude of castles and hillforts that together create a unique story of the past. Some of them still stand today as proud ruins, of others only subtle relief traces remain in the landscape, but all of them have something to tell. This online castle guide invites you to discover places where history was written, battles were fought, and quiet everyday lives unfolded. Every trip can thus become a journey through time and an adventure that is only waiting for you to experience it.
The activity is carried out with the financial support of the Ministry of Tourism and Sport of the Slovak Republic.
