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.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
