Small dolmen in a well cared for and easily accessible location but very little parking.

Dolmen in perfect condition, easy access area.

It is clean and well-kept in a semi-enclosed space, to put it mildly, but it would be nice to have a green fence on the side of the road so that the houses and the marquee do not appear in the photos.

Beautiful with tables for 7 picnics, ideal to come with children

It is at the foot of the road,... there is no place to park, you leave the car where you can or later... access is free...

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
