Dann, I´m glad you like almost every my new picture, now they're ruins of a castle, which is known since the 9th century. In 1809 it was blown up by Napoleon's army. Its location is on a cliff over the rivers Morava and Danube, in the southest part of the mountains Malé Karpaty. Left part of castle is accessible for public, right is too, but non for public. If you want some other pictures this and other slovak castles here is link

Wow! 'Virgin tower' it is called on the web link. It would be tough for a lusty male to get up there alright! But how on earth did they get the building material up there!?

Hi Eagle! Thank you for your comment. How can you see on web link photos, from this side it's impossible to get material up , but from opposite side it's difficult, but real.

Hello perez1976, first thank you for your visit on my page and an interesting comment. I hope you listen all old comments and you clicked on the link about this ruin and saw other photos also from the opposite side then was my photo alredy taken.

I think people before more than 1000 years could build this tower only by wooden scaffolding around rock. Have you any other idea?

Greetings from Slovakia, Marek
