Meanwhile, I'll be working on Helfštýn. Hopefully that will be up by tomorrow night.
Until then, some random photos:
This is the ruins of a castle near Strečno, which now sits in a park. I didn't get closer due to a storm on the horizon and road difficulties.
You have to watch out for falling rocks, and it's a shame the castle is not being repaired or at least conserved. There are so many castles in the area, however, I suppose you can't save them all.
Very cool!
ReplyDeleteThat is a shame. It looks very ruinously romantic.
Ruins are very romantic in a way. A few hours ago I went to a castle that was mostly ruins and only one tower was rebuilt. It was wonderful, and I really enjoyed exploring. There was a real sense of history and old age to the place.
ReplyDeleteI also imagined all the things that archeologists could find buried there and considered changing fields ;)
I'll be posting on those ruins last.
