Nice ruin of an old castle. There’s a little climbing area below the ruin. Free entrance.

Small, cozy ruine, with pretty easy access, even with a wheelchair, once assisted. Nice view, a peace of history, formed by chain of castels alongside Czech vs Slovak borders.

Very nice but it seems that the reconstruction has stopped and nothing has been done this season so far. Ot even grass is mowed. The views are beautiful. The place is short wals ptom the patking spot. Reccomendes for kids but be carefull on rhe parhs there.

Korlátka is a ruined castle (slight reconstruction in progress) that offers a nice view. There is an easy entrance there, suitable for children and just circa 5 minutes walking from the parking area. And, there are some fire places where you can grill as well :))

Easy to arrive (from Bratislava approx 78km, 1h15min), parking place really near, about 5-10min to get to ruins by foot. Ruins are interesting to explore, great panorama views, places to rest, not many people. We liked and enjoyed it.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
