This castle was amazing. Let's start with parking. There is pretty sizable parking lot at the end of the village, although you won't really see any cars there if you go during the work days and especially earlier in the morning. Sign there says that the hiking trip takes about 55 mins, and it's pretty much spot on. The gradient is totally manageable also for older people. The castle itself is full of volunteers renovating it and a great black doggo which always begs for pets. You will also be able to visit a little museum with some artifacts found on the site and some models which show how castle looked before it fell to ruins. Views are amazing and you will not be disappointed. 100% recommended even for hikers beginners.
When somebody is interested in then come and take a look. The guys there do a great job!
Beautiful ruins of The Uhrovec Castle offers wide look to nearby hills. Castle is at the moment in under construction but fully available for visitors. From the Uhrovske Podhradie you can choose 2 paths to The Castle. I do not recommend Green path, which is hard to steep climb. I recommend path under The Castle's hill which is latter connected to blue path right to The Castle.
Great ruin of a castle which is in the proces of being renovated by local volunteers. Local guy lives there and sells some trinkets, beer and you can even sleep in it. You read that right, you can sleep in the ruin of this castle. If you're in the neighborhood I can totally recommend checking this out.
Very nice castle ruin, currently under restoration so you will encounter volunteers, and find scaffolding and building materials there. Nice view from the windows. You have to take approx 45min trek (2 trails available) to get there from nearest parking lot, worth every step. Also serves as tourist shelter (very basic).
Very nice place with a local charisma of interesting history and nice people.
Nice place to hike
