Hiking to Šomoška castle part 1

in blurtstory •  3 years ago 

In the morning we arrive by bus to the village of Šurice, where our today's tour begins. This small village has attracted me from the beginning. There is a truly beautiful church in it. We didn't get inside, but it looks impressive from the outside.

We enjoy the view of him for a while, I take a few pictures and continue on our way. A rock named Owl Castle rises above the village.

On the way to the top we go through the forest until we reach a meadow from which we have such an interesting view.

We are at the top a few meters. From the rock we have a view of the whole area.

We exhale from a steep climb, take a photo and go down. Along the way we pass a lizard that thinks we don't see it. I take a picture of her in detail when she poses so nicely to me and I go away so as not to disturb her unnecessarily.

It's a nice day, the sun is shining on our way.

We cross meadows and enter the forest. As soon as we entered the bottom, I noticed a roe deer looking at us from behind a tree. He was probably wondering who wouldn't rest in that heat and disturbed him while relaxing.

The trees in this grove are extremely interesting to me, so I immortalize them.

As we go, we find the ruins of houses in the middle of the forest. From the homes of the workers, who sometimes mined in the local mines, only stone walls overgrown with grass and trees remained.

The castle is so beautiful! It looks like the kind of castle you would find a princess inside.

The castle is the Edgar Allan Poe scenery - doomed princess indeed ;-)
