The castle itself is small and not open for visitors bit the surroundings is amazing! A lot of nature, nice forest which is sorry beautiful during the autumn. There is also coffee shop nearby and ski resort.

In bad condition and could be seen only from outside. Worth to visit only if you are riding through bicycle Trail of the Eagle Nests.

Ruins of the castle which is embedded in the stone. Quite an impressive view. Unfortunately, you cannot go inside as it's permanently closed. If it was renovated as the Bobolice castle, it would be an amazing attraction. Fingers crossed ?!

Very nice place with good infrastructure. There is a parking, toilets and nice cafe with good sausages and pancakes. There are many nice paths nearby through the forest.

Celje Castle

Celje Castle was once the largest fortification on Slovenian territory. The first fortified building on the site (a Romanesque palace) was built in the first half of the 13th century by the Counts of Heunburg from Carinthia on the stony outcrop on the western side of the ridge where the castle stands. It had five sides, or four plus the southern side, which was a natural defence. The first written records of the castle date back to between 1125 and 1137; it was probably built by Count Gunter. In the western section of the castle, there was a building with several floors. Remains of the walls of this palatium have survived. In the eastern section, there was an enclosed courtyard with large water reservoirs. The eastern wall, which protects the castle from its most exposed side, was around three metres thicker than the rest of the curtain wall. The wall was topped with a parapet and protected walkway.
