Beautiful place, although you need to keep in mind it’s kept as a ruins of the place not a full renovation. Understandable but I do wish it would be renovated a bit more. You cannot pay for the entry by card even for large groups. We didn’t research it and almost wouldn’t be let in, if not for searching everywhere for random coins. It’s curious as the nice gent in the souvenir shop does have a card reader and I could pay by card. Overall definitely worth the visit if you’re in the area just for the breathtaking views and boat ride from one castle to the other.

Nice castle with amazing views of High Tatras. Entrance fee 10zlt / 2€ per person. We had good time, we spent there around 40minutes

The castle is nothing special. It has a pretty amusing view, however, the castle itself does show anything special. The tour mostly consists of looking at wall ruins. The positive aspect is that the tickets are cheap (4zl for children, 8zl for adults). The would consider sightseeing the castle only if you are already nearby and need to kill some time.

Nice remains of the castle. The view from castle to lake is picturesque. The castle itself is not very big, you can get it done in one hour. Free parking is for 1,5 hour so that fine. From castle you can take a boat to another castle on the other side of the lake.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
