Stop At: Devin Castle, Muranska 10, Bratislava 841 10 Slovakia

A popular place for picnics, and a national symbol of fellowship, this ruined castle once played a major role in Slovak history.
Settled since the Neolithic age, this rocky cliff has been fortified since the Bronze Age. The castle didn’t rise to prominence until the Middle Ages. During the 9th century, Slovakia’s patron saints Cyril and Methodius started their mission here in 863. The castle stood proudly for 1000 years, until 1809 Napoleon himself ordered the castle to be destroyed, as part of the regional demilitarisation. Today the historic location and stunning countryside make the ruined castle a popular place for locals and visitors alike to relax.
