The Land of 100 Castles! Exploring the hilltop ruins of Spis Castle (Rural Slovakia is amazing) 🇸🇰

- After leaving Košice, I headed northwest to the small town of Spišské Podhradie, the launching point for my hike to Spis Castle, located a couple kilometres east of the village.
The 12th century Spis Castle stands high above a hilltop overlooking Spišské Podhradie (about an hour hike straight uphill from the village). Though it lies mostly in ruin, the castle is an astonishing relic of Medieval history, and one of Slovakia's most stunning historic castles.
I enjoyed my exploration of its interior - through the historic chapel, recreated living quarters, into torture chambers, and past museum relics, all the while enjoying amazing views of the Slovakian countryside on all sides. Spis Castle is definitely one of the highlights of Slovakia, and a must-do on your visit to the High Tatras region or nearby Košice.

Well done Dave! My wife is from Slovakia. We're going to in Summer 2023. We visit Spis every time we visit Slovakia. We'll post a video as well. Truly an awesome castle.

That's a crazy swarm of flying ants. Must be a nest up there and you were the unwelcome guest lol 🐜🦟
😂😂
interesting church at 0:25 is actually Jewish synagogue
Interesting! I didn't see any signage, so I wasn't sure what it was 👍
Slovakia is not in Eastern Europe, Slovakia is in Central Europe. Please get it right.
I am not claiming it’s in Eastern Europe (though PPPeter likes to joke that it is). The focus of the trip was Eastern Europe, but I can’t change title cards two years after the fact. Don’t get too caught up with the title cards - just enjoy the views 😎
@@DrifterDave Yes CENTRAL 😉
